Last year my wife preached at a women's night at our church. When she came home she was telling all about what had happened that night. As she was preaching she said that it was like somebody else had taken over. At the end of the night as she was praying for and seeing women give their hearts to the Lord she felt drained. In the next couple of days she would try to go to bed and the Lord wouldn't let her sleep and so she would start writing another sermon. I couldn't believe the excitement and renewed passion for God in her life.
As I have been doing a study on the life of King Saul, I came across a verse in I Samuel 10:6, that reminds me of what my wife experienced.
I Samuel 10:6, "At that time the Spirit of the Lord will come powerfully upon you and you will prophesy with them. You will be changed into a different person."
When King Saul allowed God to move the Spirit of the Lord accomplished things through Saul that he couldn't do by himself. God has been telling my wife to preach for a long time. When she finally gave in the Spirit of the Lord accomplished mighty things through her.
So the question is...will you let the Spirit of the Lord come powerfully on you?
Imagine what God could do through you if you let Him?
For further study read Acts 2.
Be blessed,
Steve

Seems like this is what you were talking about when you said we should tap into God's power. Allicia was able to do that because, like King Saul, God had something He wanted her to accomplish. He wants to work through us!
God has really been pushing this point home with me. Just yesterday I was reminded that God is sovereign and wants to use men, women and children to accomplish His will. But like Ananias in Acts 9 we are afraid of the earthly consequences to allowing God to move through us. But God is sovereign! What could man do to us that we could possibly fear?
Thanks for the reminder...God is speaking and I want to listen...
