Is the living current of Christ cruising within you, or do you have a dead battery under your hood?

Current events:  actions or words prompted by the flow of the Holy Spirit within you.  Don’t resist and/or quench the Spirit’s current, but go with His flow.

Like electricity the Spirit of God flows through conductors.  Is the living current of Christ cruising within you, or do you have a dead battery under your hood?

Is your life demonstrating what Jesus said about His current?  “Out of your innermost being shall flow rivers of living water.”

“You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.”  The Greek word used in that verse for power is dunamis from which we get our English words dynamo anddynamite.  Adynamois “a generator, especially one for producing a current.”

When you receive the Holy Spirit you receive a dynamo — God’s current, the ongoing flow of the Holy Spirit.  That’s why we are told to “Quench not the Holy Spirit,” — don’t shut down His flowing within you.

If you touch an electric current you know it and can’t help but react to it.  When you allow the Holy Spirit’s current to flow in and through you, there is no mystery — you and those around you know it and feel its effects.

O, for the release of the Spirit’s current through 21st Century believers.  Dead batteries that produce no current will accomplish nothing.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
