"Inconceivable"

"Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it." (Psalms 94:7)
If there is one thing that I have harped on again and again, it is the power we can not walk in because we do not live according to belief. There really is no secret about our ability to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit being based upon our yielding to the power of the Spirit in our lives. If we don't yield to the Spirit, we don't experience the power that He gives us, in so many areas of our lives. Here is a really good example: if you want to be able to perform miracles, such as laying hands on someone and assisting in the healing of that person, then you must be a miracle! In other words, you are not going to receive the gifts of the Spirit if you have not yielded to and have been transformed by the Spirit. It's one thing to have the Holy Spirit dwelling in us, it's something altogether more powerful to be walking in the Spirit and yielding to the power of the Holy Spirit. Personally, I believe this verse is key to what causes us to not yield to the Spirit, and to loose out on so much of what the Lord wants to do in and through us. Here is the way I have come to understand how this works. If we are to walk in faith, faith is only as powerful as what we put our faith in. If our faith is in a God who does not see, nor does He really have any regard for what we do, then that same faith is going to be the basis of how we feel about His protection and promises over our lives. It might seem a little scary, but I really do believe that there is some merit to how it works. There is a lesson in something Jesus shared about a very controversial parable, in Luke 16:1-13; the main point of that message I would like to focus upon is verses 10 and 13, where Jesus speaks about being faithful in the little things, and then He concludes with, "No servant can serve two masters." I truly do believe that there is a process involved with our ability to overcome the sin in our lives; especially that sin that so easily causes us to stumble. That process begins by yielding to the Holy Spirit! It's really quite simple, it's just hard to make it a habit; especially when we have gone so long not doing what we should. It's really not a question of trying to not do the things that we should not be doing; it's really just about yielding to the Holy Spirit, and then we find ourselves no longer wanting to do the things we should not do, and it becomes easier and easier the more that we yield our lives to Him. Pretty soon, miracles are no longer out of the question, because now you do not question the power of God in your life...
"Then he brought me to the door of the Temple courtyard, where I could see a hole in the wall. He said to me, "Now, son of man, dig into the wall." So I dug into the wall and found a hidden doorway. "Go in," he said, "and see the wicked and detestable sins they are committing in there!" So I went in and saw the walls engraved with all kinds of crawling animals and detestable creatures. I also saw the various idols worshipped by the people of Israel. Seventy leaders of Israel were standing there with Jaazaniah son of Shaphan in the center. Each of them held an incense burner, from which a cloud of incense rose above their heads. Then the LORD said to me, "Son of man, have you seen what the leaders of Israel are doing with their idols in dark rooms? They are saying, 'The LORD doesn't see us; he has deserted our land.'" (Ezekiel 8:7-12) NLT
