SPIRIT,
POWER OF

THE ENGINE of a car lies under the hood. The engine “dwells” there. Even when the car is stopped, not moving, or sitting on the lot, dwelling underneath the hood is an invisible power source.

What is the engine there designed to do? It is designed to take the car somewhere. Only a fool would bother to push a perfectly brand-new automobile up a hill. There is no point in pushing something that has the power to carry you! Why would a person put forth effort to push a car that has the power to deliver them to their destination? Because we understand that concept, we don’t push our cars; we sit inside our cars and let the cars transport us.

When the Spirit of God indwells the believer, and that believer has set his mind on Christ, he has the power to drive.881
