Something to Ponder

RELEASING THE OVERCOMING POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

David Wilkerson

June 19, 2017

Let me tell you about two men I knew. Both are converted drug addicts and alcoholics, and at one time they led horrible lives. Both are married with children – and while they were addicted, they had problems with lust, pornography and adultery. They were con artists, trying to fool their wives and families about everything, hustling and conning their way through life.

But both men came to Times Square Church and gave their lives to Jesus. They wept as they confessed their many sins and testified they were born again. Moreover, each man was willing to leave everything behind and enter our ministry’s Christ-centered drug rehabilitation program for nine months.

Neither of these men had any past knowledge of the Lord. But as soon as they entered our program, one of them seemed to make great progress immediately. He was very cooperative and compliant with all the program’s rules. And this man wore a smile continually. During chapel services, he eagerly entered into the worship. As I watched him during this period, I couldn’t help thinking, “This one is becoming a true man of God. He’s passing up the other fellow by leaps and bounds.” Indeed, I was concerned about the other man. He always seemed down and depressed. And he had a terrible time obeying the program’s rules. He struggled continually with his new faith, never coming to a place of peace. And he never smiled, appearing forever weighed down by heavy conviction. He wept through every chapel service, never even lifting his head.

Yet the Lord saw something in this poor, struggling addict that I didn’t see. He saw within him a heart set on following God. As it turned out, the man struggled so heavily because he was determined to give his all to the Lord, yet he knew there was still a great deal in his heart that stood in the way. The reason he held his head down during worship was because the Holy Spirit was revealing the sin in his life, and he was deeply convicted. He couldn’t be happy because what he saw in himself burdened him down.

After that experience, I prayed, “Lord, the changes you’ve worked in this struggling man are incredible. He has such power in his life. He’s got victory over his habits – no more lust problems, no more cravings for drugs. Your Spirit has been released in him mightily! What did you see in him that qualified him for such a release of power to overcome sin?”

I’ve had a deep, burning hunger to know what it takes for the Holy Spirit to release his mighty power in our lives. If his promised power is not being released in us, what’s hindering it? What does God want to see in us before such a release can take place?

Scripture Thought for the Day

Rom 5:1-5 (NIV) We have been made right with God because of our faith. Now we have peace with him because of our Lord Jesus Christ. Through faith in Jesus we have received God's grace. In that grace we stand. We are full of joy because we expect to share in God's glory. And that's not all. We are full of joy even when we suffer. We know that our suffering gives us the strength to go on. The strength to go on produces character. Character produces hope. And hope will never let us down. God has poured his love into our hearts. He did it through the Holy Spirit, whom he has given to us.
