Victory In Christ

“I am holding a glove in my hand.  The glove cannot do anything by itself. It cannot write. It cannot cook…, but when my hand is in it, it can do many things.  We read about this in John 15: ‘Without Me, you can do nothing.’ True, it is not the glove, but my hand in the glove that enables us to do many things.

“We Christians, like the glove, are powerless without the Holy Spirit residing within us, empowering us to do God’s work. We have to make room for the hand so that every finger of the glove (ourselves) is filled. You say, ‘What the Spirit can do.’No, it’s what you can do when the Holy Spirit fills you. That’s enormous! You, yes, you!”

~~ Corrie ten Boom

“… be filled with the Spirit” ~~ Ephesians 5:18b.

“For God is at work in you….” Phil 2:13 (RSV).
