I have been fascinated by the LIFE in Corrie Ten Boom since reading an account of her experience under the Nazi regime.  I was eleven years old when I found her book, The Hiding Place, in the Berclair Baptist church library.  (I read, The Diary of Anne Frank, during the same period.).  I was young, but I had been awakened to the reality of God in Christ; yet I had a long way left to go with Him; I still do.  The Christian’s life is a journey.  Here is the thing:  I was drawn to GENUINE power.

Ouija boards, tarot cards, horoscopes, seances and other occult activities seek the power of the dark side.  The  supernatural power of the dark side is not the real thing.  It is lesser.  It’s an illusion.  It’s temporary.  It is handed to the receptor for a moment and it is removed when THE MAKER sees fit.

Authentic LOVE is the supernatural self-less fuel of the righteous- meaning those rightly positioned to God in Christ.  LOVE for GOD, and LOVE for others, in Jesus Christ, is the energy of truth and forms the power of prayer.  This is why loving is the greatest commandment, and the second is like it.

The desire for and the search for power seems to be at an all time high.  I recognized pure power in Corrie Ten Boom’s chapter of His story.  Maybe you will read her story.  If you wish to be part of her astonishing family, God’s special family, turn to Jesus; seek the face of GOD in Christ, read and study His Word while you can, embrace His way.  His will for you is expressed in His Word.  Find a Bible-believing, Jesus-receiving fellowship and participate.  Plug-in to genuine power and live!
