The Power of God

​Emerging from Mission Possible my thoughts have turned to a question.  How can we spread the love of God to the city of Port Huron?  At first, it seems to be a daunting task, but when you consider what it took for the gospel to spread from its beginnings in Jerusalem thousands of years ago to this present day- in my mind it is nothing short of a miracle.  Theologically, it is the power of God at work in humanity.  Honestly, I haven’t spent enough time pondering this great phenomenon.  Not only has it continued from its early beginnings, it has found its way in some of the most obscure places imaginable- which is further evidence of the power of God at work.  Consider a few I can recall from memory.  It found its way into a German Concentration camp- in written form no less, and it converted a soul.  It has found its way into countless prisons and through its power has converted die-hard criminals into loving, kind, compassionate ambassadors of God who are willing to risk their lives for Jesus.  It has found its way into Muslim homes and converted many.  Also it has found its way into hearts once filled with hatred and converted them into hearts filled with the love of Jesus.  It has literally found its way into every corner of the world and continues to do so-I stand amazed!  We watch it work around us, and never really stop to consider the full extent of its power and reach.  So as I look around me and ask myself the question, is it unreasonable for me to believe the city of Port Huron can be reached for Christ, the answer is a resounding NO!  It can and it will.  One heart at a time by the power of the Holy Spirit, carried by the love of those whose lives have been changed, rearranged, and converted by the word of God.  Let us be praying for a spiritual revival to take place in our city; that God will use our resources to reach the lost for Christ, so that one day we can lift our voices and sing with great conviction from what he has done, that he is indeed the God of this city.
 
Blessings.
