Power lines are amazing. They run overhead, perfectly safe, carrying massive amounts of electricity from the power plant to our houses. We can even touch the power poles holding them in the air, and we can walk away uninjured.
However, the voltages carried in those wires are so deadly they cannot be run directly to our homes. The voltages must be stepped down at a substation before we dare attach anything to the lines.
Yet, used correctly, high-voltage power lines provide air conditioning, refrigeration, and battery-charging capabilities to millions of people.
God wants us to be high-voltage Christians for him. Read of his plan in 2 Corinthians 5:20:
“Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.”
God is the high voltage running through us, the same power that in the distant past formed the earth and the moon with the breath of his mouth. He melted the rocks and reformed them into what he wished them to become. He waved his hand, and the waters in the sea pressed the land aside. He touched the soil of the earth, and Man walked among God’s creation.
He wants to flow through us to the world. He wants us to be his high-voltage transmission lines, walking through life buzzing with the intensity of God’s awesome majesty. He wants us so charged up that he has to step down the power so we don’t burn the souls of the sinners who need God in their lives.
God wants us to live a life of high-voltage Christianity, one that provides healing, comfort, and renewal to the millions of people who don’t yet know him. How can we know if we’re walking in the true power of God? His Word gives us the answer in 1 Corinthians 13:1-13:
“If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful…”
Let’s spread the power all across this world! The power is called love.
When we walk in the power of Jesus, the world around us will be recharged with the power of his name.
