Spiritual Battery

      Spiritual Battery:  We all are borne with a spiritual battery. God the creator in His wisdom created it as part of our spiritual DNA.  We have this spiritual DNA because in this world we are fighting a spiritual war. Idealistically we should always be plugged into the power source. Unfortunately, that is not the case.  The good news is that our spiritual battery is rechargeable. Because of spiritual warfare and the very nature of our flawed humanness, we need to plug into the power source. Our power source is the Holy Spirit, God the Father, Christ the interceder, and the Word of God.

     As spiritual beings, we are created to walk in relationship with God, however the world in which we live can and is a power drain on our spiritual battery. Our sin nature and we as humans can often be caught up in our humanness. We try to control things in our life. We try to fix ourselves with our brokenness or by the brokenness of others. We may seek worldly things to help recharge our battery. These actions will drain us spiritually. We take “control” and forget to plug into the ultimate power source.

     We must build ourselves up in faith; we do this by confessing the Word of God. We can experience greater confidence when we start to understand the Word. We begin to walk in revelation.  We plug ourselves into the power source through prayer.  Prayer is our direct line of connection to God. This allows His power to flow into us regardless of any situation we maybe in.

     We must be strong in the Lord and the power of His might (Eph. 15:3), not our own might and not the might of other or worldly things. We walk in His strength. We war with His power. We must be humble and completely dependent upon God. We cannot be confident in our own power and strength. If we do so, we open the door of pride for the enemy to walk on in.

      We depend upon His power, His direction; we plug ourselves into His power so that He can fight on our behalf.  We at all times need humility. God’s grace gives us the ability to be humble. God is the strength of our lives. By His power and His might, plugging into the power source, we are given the ability to overcome fear. We put our trust in Him.

     God is our power source. We confess that He is our strength. We must be people of prayer and worship. We must take joy in the presences of the Lord. His presence is our joy and strength, the recharging of our spiritual battery. Our worship, our prayers, our talks with God are a weapon forged against the enemy.

     The Word of God is the sword of the spirit, and when that sword is fully charged it can strike a mighty blow to the enemy. We use this sword to battle and become victorious over the spiritual battles with the enemy. The Word of God is His wisdom. We are guided by His wisdom to defeat the enemy.

      As part of our spiritual life, it is imperative that we confess the Word of God. Our salvation comes from confessing with our words. Our words are connected to our soul. The tongue releases faith. Faith that is released by the tongue, which comes from the soul, can move mountains; those spiritual things that hinder us from plugging into our power source.

     God is the source of all our victories and spiritual breakthroughs. He is the source of our wisdom and strategies. His Word is the source of our understanding of the spiritual warfare that we are involved in. It started in the heavens. We bind what is bound in Heaven. We also loose what is loosed in Heaven.

       As we plug into our spiritual source, we have an unlimited source of wisdom and knowledge. The Word of God contains an abundance of revelation for all believers. We as believers should desire and enjoy the liberty and the victory that comes from plugging into the power source of the Holy Spirit, by studying the Word of God, and praying in the name of Jesus. We ask for revelation. This is the key to authority.  That revelation is that Jesus is Christ.

     God has promised to make us joyful in the house of prayer (Is.56:7). We should be plugged into that house of prayer. Recharge our spiritual battery. Even though we fight an ongoing spiritual war, we can be joyful in the Lord for He is our strength and might. Praise Him sing a joyful song.

…“I will sing to the Lord,

For He has triumphed gloriously!

The horse and its rider

He has thrown into the sea!

2 The Lord is my strength and song,

And He has become my salvation;

He is my God, and I will praise Him;

My father’s God, and I will exalt Him.

3 The Lord is a man of war;

The Lord is His name.” (Ex 15:1-3)
