LIVING FULLY CHARGED

11/22/2007 2:04 pm

James 1:13-14
Blessed (happy, to be envied) is the man who is patient under trial and stands up under temptation, for when he has stood the test and been approved, he will receive [the victor's] crown of life which God has promised to those who love Him.
Let no one say when he is tempted, I am tempted from God; for God is incapable of being tempted by [what is] evil and He Himself tempts no one.
But every person is tempted when he is drawn away, enticed and baited by his own evil desire (lust, passions).

Two key points in the above-mentioned passage is patience and drawn away. When we are patient in the midst of trial we will not allow ourselves to be drawn away from doing the Word.

All of us go through seasons of the trying or approving of our faith. We can only be drawn away, from the doing of the word during this time, if we do not keep ourselves charged in the Spirit.

I Corinthians 14:4
He who speaks in a [strange] tongue edifies and improves himself, but he who prophesies [interpreting the divine will and purpose and teaching with inspiration] edifies and improves the church and promotes growth [in Christian wisdom, piety, holiness, and happiness].

The key point here is when we pray in tongues we edify and improve our self. We can see that the edifying or building up of our self is up to us not God. It is our responsibility to build our self up, Jude 20. Edify has several meanings one of which means to charge. Many of us don’t walk in victory because we don’t get a full charge. Have you ever had your cell phone die on you? Well, you used up the charge and now you have to charge it before you can use it. Most of the time they need to charge overnight. Then it will work for you a couple of days, depending on how much you use it in that time. Most cell phones if charged all night while powered on will not get a full charge. See, our cell has to be hooked up to a power source for a while to be valuable for use. If your cell is dead you can’t reach anyone and they can’t reach you.

Much the same way with us in the spirit realm. When we don’t stay hooked up or connected to the Spirit daily by speaking in tongues we will not get a full charge. We may suffer lack financially, or sickness may show up or we may get grouchy, lose our tempter etc., nor will we be able to reach anyone, help anyone or them reach us. When we don’t keep ourselves charged we lose our value for use. I didn’t say we lose our value…I said we lose our value for use. This is because we didn’t get a full charge. You can’t pray in tongues 5 minutes out of the day and think you can conquer the test and trials that come. Why? Because you can’t get a full charge on five minutes of being connected. This is why many are drawn away from doing the word while facing a trial of their faith. Temptation is a trial of your faith. Patience is staying the same no matter the circumstance. Not getting a complete charge makes you vulnerable for yielding to temptation. When you don’t get a full charge your fleshly passions can rise up and take control. In other words lead you into sin. Or you can fail in your faith for what you are believing for all because you didn’t stay charged up. If you don’t stay charged up you will be drawn away from doing the Word of God by lustful passions and then sin is birthed. Once this happens this gives place to the devil in your life to bring sickness on your body, lack in your finances and strain, stress and division in your relationships.

Ephesians 3:14-16
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

To be strengthened with might by His Spirit in our inner man. Wow!! Our inner man is strengthened in God’s might by His Spirit. With this being known nothing is impossible for us. We have the power of God’s might on the inside of us. How do we tap into this Might of God? By speaking in tongues daily throughout the day and at set aside times. This is your connection, this is your full complete charge that you need to stand against the enemy who comes, when least expected, to try your faith.

Have you ever had the battery in your car die? You know when that happens that you are stranded. You are fully loaded with this car but no power or might to move. Even though fully loaded you are stranded. We are the same, we are fully loaded with everything we need to do all that God has called us to do but yet so many of us are not increasing in health, wealth and in our relationships, we are stranded…therefore not advancing the Kingdom of God. Singles need mates, they wait and wait for God to bring their mate but the mate never comes. They are lacking because they are not tapping into the might, the promise within because they do not get a full charge. Their faith is up for a bit but they fizzle out fast because they are not fully charged.

Let us get charged in the Holy Ghost and we will see increase happen in our lives in all areas. When we live charged we won’t be drawn away from doing the Word of God and we will increase. It pleases God when we increase.
