Control

We are having revival this weekend and of course sister Teresa wanted me to get some things done around the house before our evangelist arrives. So I got the leaf blower out and was blowing leaves off the carport, deck and even some in the yard. The wind was blowing pretty hard so when I started to blow the leaves in the front yard they blew right back up on the carport. No matter how I tried to control where they were going they had a mind of their own, controlled by the wind. I of course got to thinking about how people are. Everyone of us has a controlling factor in our lives. I know that some would not admit it, but it is true anyhow. This controlling factor is a power force, it can and will push us in the direction it wants us to go. Self will is the most power controlling force there is. I see people so selfish they really have no concern for anyone but them selves. They live for nothing but the pleasure of their own lives, and flesh. They do what they want when they want to, and however they want to do it. They are not the leaves. Their power comes from within. The leaves had no power, no will, they were controlled by the power of the wind. If we would allow God to control our lives, our services, our camp meetings, our desires, every aspect of our being, we would see a manifestation like they seen in the morning time church. The bottom line is, nobody wants to be a leaf. We have to have control. God help me to be a leaf and allow your Holy Spirit to blow me in the direction you want me to go. Joh 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
