I had a thought about step 1. Step one is we admitted we were powerless and that our lives have become unmanageable. First powerlessness in and of my self I am powerless over people, places, and things. The Bible tells me that when I became a Christ follower that the Holy spirit is in me. The same Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead. That is power! Imagine Jesus beaten three days dead. You seen Him hanging on the cross then taken down and placed in a grave. Then Imagine him coming back to life here is someone breathing in person standing right in front of you. You know without a doubt he was dead. Now here he is standing talking alive. Imagine being there with Him. You want to be with Him. You are with Him and its real He is alive. He is and He says all the power in heaven and on earth has been given to Him. You don't want to be away from Him. Yet when we are powerless we are denying Him. We turn our back on Him and deny His power in our life to change us. So really we are not so much powerless as we are without Him. So to Have this power we need I need to be with Him not without Him. I think I can do it on my own then I am stuck in a rut of powerlessness and wonder why I cannot change what I am powerless over. I will continue in this state until I turn humbly to Him and be with Him then the power will come rushing in and I can overcome my powerlessness! He will let me continue in my mess until I realize I am without Him. Therefore producing the unmanageablty. Won't you turn to Him and be with Him and overcome your powerlessness!!
In Him Keith
