God Never Gets Tired-Part-2

 

                                               God Never Gets Tired-Part 2

Isaiah 40:29 states He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.”

       Yesterday we started a discussion about the fact that god never gets tired and that he bestows power and strength upon weary Christian musicians.  Today we are going to continue exploring the truths found in the fortieth chapter of Isaiah. 

       One of Satan’s tricks is to get musicians so busy that they fail to wait upon God and to be “bound unto Him”.  The closer that a Christian musician is to God, the harder it becomes for Satan to tempt and to overcome that musician.  Many times a Christian will find himself or herself in need of a “change in strength”. Sometimes musicians need what I call a “spiritual oil change”.  In other words we need to be freshly bound together with God.  One of the things that auto mechanics stress is that the moving parts of an engine need to have fresh oil that will stick to the pistons and bearings etc.  Without the freshness of clean oil, dirt and sludge will tend to gum up our spiritual engine.  The fact that you had a fresh anointing from the blessed Holy Spirit a few months ago does not preclude the need for the fresh oil of the Spirit today.  Again, auto mechanics tell us that you don’t have to do anything wrong for your engine to be in need of an oil change.  As a matter of fact, all you have to do is use that engine and it will routinely be in need of fresh oil.

       Those who “wait upon the LORD” will have the fresh oil of the Spirit which is absolutely necessary for the Christian to have the power to get above the troubles and temptations of Satan in this life.  It is only by having the fresh oil (anointing) of the Holy Spirit that a Christian musician will be able to walk and run with spiritual power.  Without this dunamis of the Spirit, the musician will become so weak that he or she will be in danger of failing.

        The formula for receiving spiritual strength is simple.  First, receive strength from God by believing that he is the creator of all things (including music).  Second, believe that He created you personally (therefore you belong to him).Third, believe that he cares for all his creation (that includes you).  Fourth, take time to be holy.  Make sure that you spend time binging yourself together with God.  Fifth, lift up your heart and mind as though they were the wings of an eagle. And let God take you above and beyond your troubles.  Sixth, receive strength from God to walk and run the spiritual race that has been set before you.
