Coffee Stirs
The Spirit of Power is The Holy Spirit
Fire requires 3 things:
Fuel
Heat
Oxygen
1) The Fuel of the Spirit is Faith
Timothy had Greek unbelieving Father and Jewish Mother and Grandmother who became believers in Christ
The Enemy of Faith is Fear
When we give in to fear, faith goes missing.
2) The Heat of the Spirit is Love
3) The Air of the Spirit is Focus
In 1942 CS Lewis published the Screwtape Letters:
The Screwtape Letters consists of 31 letters written by a senior demon named Screwtape to his nephew, Wormwood (named after a star in the Book of Revelation), a younger and less experienced demon, charged with guiding a man called "the Patient" toward "Our Father Below" (Satan), and away from "the Enemy" (God).
Screwtape writes: “Whenever they [humans] are attending to the Enemy Himself [God] we are defeated, but there are ways of preventing them from doing so.
The simplest is to turn their gaze away from Him towards themselves.
Keep them watching their own minds and trying to produce feelings there by the action of their own wills.
When they meant to ask Him for charity, let them, instead, start trying to manufacture charitable feelings for themselves and not notice that this is what they are doing.
When they meant to pray for courage, let them really be trying to feel brave.
When they say they are praying for forgiveness,let them be trying to feel forgiven.
Teach them to estimate the value of each prayer by their success in producing the desired feeling; and never let them suspect how much success or failure of that kind depends on whether they are well or ill, fresh or tired, at the moment.”
Focusing on feelings results in:
Condemnation
Comparison
Selfishness (Narcissistic)
We Shift our Focus to God through:
Worship
Prayer
Obedience
