Not A Matter of Talk But Power

I absolutely love 1 COR 4:20.

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk, but of power.

I also memorized this compelling message - 1 COR 2:4-5.

My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power.

I've been talking with Ian Patterson via Facebook and he recommended these two books (I ordered them off Amazon.com). They just came in the mail and I'm super-excited and hungry to unlock and apply this knowledge.

• Rediscovering the Kingdom - Myles Munroe
• Developing a Supernatural Lifestyle - Kris Valloton

Supernaturally inspired, to say the least.

Oh, big notice: I just wanted to let you know that it's been a full week where I have not been tempted ONCE to dabble into pornography. This is AMAZING for me since 15 years of my life embraced porn (before I accepted Christ at the age of 24).

I don't even think or even consider going on the Internet to look. While I've gone to long periods of purity, this is a first for me to not even struggle. When Ian told his story about how he invited the Holy Spirit to transform him, he said he was and continues to be immune to porn.

I, too, can now tell the image in my mirror, "I am immune to pornography, in the name and power of the Holy Spirit." I'm praying to God for continued strength.

Loving God and Loving my bros!
