My First Public Video - A Dramatic Reading of Isaiah 40

 Bible readers may know what I'm talking about - sometimes a passage benefits the reader more when it is read aloud. I was doing that today as I studied for this evening's Bible study. As I talked out loud about the background of the Bible book, and then did the reading (I like reading scripture out loud with what many call drama; to me it is trying to capture the essence of what the writer and Holy Spirit were feeling as words went onto the scroll.  That was when a kernel of an idea (maybe Holy Spirit inspired?) came to me:  make a video. It was impulsive decision, whim, but why not? Definitely not a professional product in a studio lol, but it is a start. So, I put up my room divider, tried to make myself somewhat presentable, hooked up the camera and started talking. See the result below. Your feedback is welcomed! God bless!

The Spirit at Work in Believers, Part 4

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Not by Power, Nor by Might, But by My Spirit, Says the Lord

Christians do spiritual battle every day in many ways. Therefore God, in Ephesians 6 commands believers to put on spiritual armor, the protection of the Holy Spirit daily because, as verse 12 says “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” John 14:16, 17a, “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever. This is the Spirit of truth…” 

In Sudan a few years ago, several church leaders and pastors had come together, and during their worship rebels came in and captured and beat them, dragging them off to the bush where they could do their evil deeds under cover. However, they did not know the Lord and His love for His anointed ones! From out of nowhere a swarm of wild bees came and attacked the soldiers while the imprisoned pastors looked on. The bees never came near the believers, but instead chased after the soldiers as they ran away, allowing the pastors to free themselves and escape. 

Through yielding to the Holy Spirit, we, too, will see God’s power and authority, as Zechariah 4:6 promises, “Not by power, nor by might, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of Hosts.”
