We don’t need entitlement; we need empowerment---do you get that? After committing your life to Christ, you don’t need some bumper sticker or t-shirt that tells everyone that you are now a Christian. In fact, that’s part of the problem. There are many people today that would say they have not become a Christian, because of other so-called Christians. Claiming Christ and never living for Him is entitlement. Like He owes you something. Do you not know that He paid a debt that He didn’t owe? (Your and my sin debt.)What the world needs to see is a group of empowered followers of Jesus Christ! And I promise you the day that we will die to self and be recognized as a Holy Spirit empowered church the people will come. The world is starving for truth. They are looking in all the wrong places. And why do they need to come? Jesus said so! He said go get them! He came for them and has sent us out.
A Holy Spirit empowered church is made up of Holy Spirit empowered people.
Dead churches litter the landscape of America full of the entitled. It's time to rise up. "Don't you know that the Holy Spirit dwells within you?"
