I have had a problem with my lawnmower sputtering and quitting, ever since I left it out in the rain one night a few months ago. I was sure the problem was water in the gas. Fortunately there is a product you can buy to add to a gas tank with water that permits the engine to run again. It worked! I was able to run the mower and cut our new lawn without a problem. This made me think...what if you could add a chemical to water and make it run in an engine. It turns out that there are some mysterious stories about men adding a green powder made from coal to water and running car and boat engines successfully. Supposedly some of the inventors of this powder have disappeared mysteriously and one has forgotten how to make the formula. You can imagine how unhappy the oil companies would be if water started filling automobile tanks instead of gasoline. Whether there is any truth to these stories or not I don't know...but it does make me realize that when the Lord is added to our common human lives there is power from heaven that pours through us. There is a potential energy within us that is released and activated. There is a change within us that is like a chemical reaction where two elements are combined, heat is released and the resulting substance is forever changed. Have you received the Lord into your life? One way you will know is that you become a new person and you will have a new and different kind of energy that you might call "heavenly fuel".
Matthew 9:17 Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”
Romans 6:4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Acts 1:8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
blessings,
