Obedience Brings Power

Phil. 2:5

5 Your attitude should be the same that Christ Jesus had. 6Though he was God, he did not demand and cling to his rights as God. 7He made himself nothing; he took the humble position of a slave and appeared in human form. 8. And in human form he obediently humbled himself even further by dying a criminal’s death on a cross. 9 Because of this, God raised him up to the heights of heaven and gave him a name that is above every other name, 10so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

 

MOVE THAT ROCK 

There once was a man who wanted to do something for the Lord. He asked God, "What can I do for you?" God said, "See that rock? I want you to push against it." The man thought it was strange but he was obedient and began to push. Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months. The man saw that the rock was going nowhere and so he stopped pushing. Soon God spoke to the man and asked him why he had stopped. The man told God why he was disappointed in the work that God had asked him to do. "Nothing is happening, the rock has stayed in the same place!" Then God said, " I can see a change. Your arms a more defined and your legs are bigger and stronger." 

Sometimes God asks us to go things that seems meaningless and we can not see any outside change when we really need to see that what we are going is changing ourselves.

 

In the military who moves up in power?  The obedient or the disobedient?  Those who follow orders move up the ranks faster then those who don’t.  

 

If you have heard me preach for very long you have heard me say this …

Rebellion is a false sense of Power.   We live in a time where we reward disobedience, we publicize it and promote it in the media… it can slowly creep into our spiritual walk if we are not careful!  

 

When we don’t obey God we feel powerless, so we disobey to feel a sense of power, but it is false, it is deadly.  It is destructive.

 

However the more we obey God the more we sense his spirit and the more power we truly have.  

 

I was in prayer once and I had a water bottle… God said when you pour that water out where does it go? I said down. He said why? I said gravity. He said nope. It travels in the path of least resistance. Want to be used more by God, obey do not resist. Ever wonder why God uses weird people? No resistance. 

 

Satan hates obedience.
