W Abbott,

OK, let me put it another way. Moses had been reduced from being a prince in Egypt to a mere shepherd and he probably expected only to be a shepherd for the rest of his life. He was at his lowest point and that was exactly when God was most able to begin using him because he would not be depending on his own power, but on God. That has been my experience, too. God took me from my spiritual lowest point, raised me up and gave me a mission to work for Him in His power. Seeing the results God delivers leaves me praising Him for His wonderful works. Each confirmation is like finding an unexpected bonus in my paycheck and gives me more reason to want to love and obey Him and continue doing whatever He wants me doing.

I pray that you will let God show you the mission purpose He wants you doing in His power so you can have your own experience with the Holy Spirit. It will be a spiritual experience vastly exceeding anything you have yet known.
