It saddens me to see the great number of people who feel they have to clean up their lives before they meet the only One who cleanses. It’s an impossible task that creates pressure and striving for a relationship with God.
Just being able to follow, without distraction, our hearts’ desire to know God—that’s what causes more transformation than any list of rules found in religion.
 WHY POWER?
It would be incorrect for me to say that everything we experience is for the sake of others. That simply isn’t true. Some think that God will heal them so that a relative or friend will get saved.
Of course it is a great side benefit of a miracle that others are touched by God’s goodness. But it distorts the issue.
God delights in us and showers us with blessings just because we belong to Him.
He delights over us and gives us access to realms 0f God simply for our pleasure.
Yet there is also an over riding principle in this kingdom: it is nearly impossible to experience more of God and keep it to ourselves.
As stated by Peter and John:  in  Acts 4:20 “For we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.”
This is the nature of a life with God—giving is the most natural thing to do. The kingdom of God must never be reduced to talk, ideas, and principles.
The kingdom of God is power.
Unlimited power has been granted to those who encounter Him over and over again.
Each encounter works deeper in our hearts, bringing about the needed transformation so that we might be entrusted with more of Him.
The more profound the work of the Spirit is within us, the more profound the manifestation of the Spirit flowing through us.
A glass of water is not really full until it overflows.  Similarly, the fullness of the Spirit in our lives is measured by the overflow of the Spirit through us in order to touch the world around us.
