STEWARDSHIP OF POWER IN THE HOLY SPIRIT

special skill and talent gifted

skills, ability to teach

power also mean ability, influence, authority, supernatural enablement

-we are created in the image of God, given power in Jesus name

-the power is on loan to us.. not ours

use the power to help the powerless

when Adam and Eve have power, they listen to the serpent and plunge the whole being into sin

Hezekiah showed off his wealth

-everything came from God and God can easily take it away

-Hezekiah started well but his pride and greed

David was so angry and offended that he wanted to kill

-David was at the edge of becoming an evil person but Abigail saved Him

-we do things cos we have the power (the boss, the leader) with authority to those who are under us

-instead of using the power on loan for God's purpose but for gold, silver, wealth, pride

Jesus is the only person who is has the power but not misuse it

   -Jesus was hungry after fasting... Jesus is human

temptations to Jesus

Jesus was tempted but He did not use it for His cravings

Jesus don't use His power to satisfy Himself

not doing things based on own wants but God's

-the gold and silver

   -Jesus knows where is His source

   -do we do know where are we in God... our value is not based on our wealth, position in the world

-in the wilderness Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit and was lead into the wilderness and tempted and passed the tests

-we are still the doing the same? to not give in to self cravings
