But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God & not from us. (2 Corinthians 4:7). The supremely valuable message of salvation in Jesus Christ has been entrusted by God to frail & fallible human beings, (jars of clay). Paul's focus, however, was not on the perishable container but on its priceless contents - God's power dwelling in us. Though we are weak, God uses us to spread the Good News & He gives us power to do His work. Knowing that the power is His, not ours, should keep us from pride & motivate us to keep daily contact with God, our source of power. Our responsibility is to let people see God through us. We must live holy lives & be humble, loving, forgiving & Word based. We must pray continually. Thank you Jesus. Good morning Holy Spirit.

Help me to work with all Bible believing churches in the administration of this grace & in discipling the mass converts. Let Jesus increase in my life & let me reduce. Thank you Father for hearing & answering my prayer. As we have prayed, put Your angels to action. In Jesus mighty name we pray, believe, & give you thanks, Amen. God bless you.

No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying: Know the Lord, because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest. (Hebrews 8:10-11). If our hearts are not changed, following God's rules will be unpleasant & difficult. We will rebel against being told how to live the Christian way. The Holy Spirit, however, gives us new desires, helping us wanting to obey God. With new hearts, hearts of flesh & not hearts of stone, we will find that serving God is our greatest joy. Under God's new covenant, God's law is inside us & not outside, ie, on a tablet of stone. No, it's written in our hearts. It is no longer an external set of rules & principles. The Holy Spirit reminds us of Christ's words, activates our ...
