Continuing on with my equipment inventory on campus this week, I came across a audio cassette player that, after being plugged in, just wouldn't start. I tried another power outlet in the room, I switched power cords, I even tried shaking it.... nothing. On the outward appearance, the cassette player looked quite new. I handed it over to our repair technician who surgically removed it's cover and started tinkering inside. After running several tests on the unit he said, "this cassette player is totally useless. Funny, it's not that old. It has a faulty power supply. It is unable to receive a signal from the main power source, there's not much I can do here. It's junk". As I mentioned before, in the new world of electronics, it is more cost effective to replace some types of equipment rather than to try and repair them. Although outwardly the cassette player looked new and the buttons all seemed functional, without being able to receive power it was useless. As Christians we know that there is no hope for us beyond the grave outside of Christ. Do you have a faulty power supply? Without God's Holy Spirit working in our lives we are powerless, virtually useless.The quickening power of the Holy Spirit energizes us and brings us the ability to overcome and to witness of Christ to a lost world. Ask to receive God's Holy Spirit and be revitalized!
