We will have a little fun with this one and at the same time bring some truth that could change your life dramatically and totally for the better!

Did you ever own a car that was a run down junker? It broke down every other week as if on cue, and as you bumped down the road on balding tires you wondered if the $5.00 of gas you “eeked” in was enough or if you would run out before you got home for you had no more money! Of course, no matter what car you owned or own, it must be maintained or there will be problems!

As in other things in life you have a choice whether to maintain your car or not! God will NOT violate you will and as with a car, it is up to you to CHOOSE JESUS, CHOOSE THE WORD, CHOOSE LIFE! God will NOT force you to believe or move in faith! ”

A car with no engine will go nowhere fast, lol! The engine is faith! “Without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God!” Hebrews 11 ” The just WILL LIVE BY FAITH”! A double minded man is unstable in all his ways…let not that man think he will receive anything of the Lord”! You must develop your faith by the Word of God and learn to use it, speak it, pray it and LIVE by it! Whatever is not faith is sin and sin brings separation from God! So put the engine of faith in your car and you will get where you need to go blessed of God! Those with doubt and unbelief sit complaining saying they do not understand but know God has a reason for allowing them to be sick and miserable! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! No my dear friends, it is your own unbelief holding you back…unbelief is like trying to start the engine over and over again when …..THERE IS NO ENGINE!

We spoke before of people with unbelief as a car spitting and sputtering and stalling as it ran out of gas! How true it is! Without the fuel the engine has nothing to run on, so it will sit idle going nowhere even though the potential is there, but it is out of gas! These are the “still born” Christians that since they believed never got in the Word of God and never got the Word of God in them! The fuel this FAITH car runs on is the Word of God! We NEED to read the Word, meditate on it, believe it,speak it, pray it, live it and walk in it! How can you walk in the Word and live by it if you do not know it? These Christians are always wondering why it seems they live a cursed life with no blessings and end up blaming God for all the woes in their lives! “Why doesn’t God do something”, they ask perpetually! FILL YOUR TANK!

A car can have an engine and fuel, but if there is not a power source you can repeatedly try to start the car over and over and over again, but NOTHING will happen! These Christians pray over and over and over again and do not receive for they pray vain repetitions that God does not honor..for you are not heard for your much speaking!

Cars need a battery, spark plugs etc. To power it up! You receive POWER AFTER YOU ARE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT! Have you received the Spirit SINCE you believed.? The people in Acts answered that they had not even heard of the Holy Spirit since they believed on Jesus! In other words, being born of the Spirit accepting Jesus in your heart is one experience you need to be saved, and then a separate experience is to be baptized with the Holy Ghost wit the evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance! POWER! This is the POWER OF GOD! NOW you can turn the key and VA-ROOM that engine begins to RUN!

Some are so used to a stationary” nothing changing” life that someone has to nudge them to get the car out of park and put it into drive to actually move ahead and get where you need to go! “Faith without works ( the accompanying actions) is dead being alone!” You have to step out of the boat to walk on the water! You have to open your mouth and give voice to speak in tongues ! You have to believe in and speak in the authority of the name of Jesus to cast out demons and heal the sick, etc.! PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE!

Now if you let the car run out of oil….whoops…dead engine! The second car I owned had been in an accident with the previous owner! I had it a short time and did not know that from the accident the oil pump had a crack! So one day all of a sudden the engine light is on and the engine seized up…and time for a new engine as I sat along the road! All of the oil had suddenly drained out as the crack broke open and killed the engine! PUT OIL IN THE CAR….AND MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO OIL LEAKS…WITHOUT OIL THE ENGINE WON’T RUN! The Word speaks that JOY IS THE OIL! When joy is withered away then nothing runs right, and in fact the joy of the Lord is our STRENGTH, but without it the engine will NOT run! When you find the words of God they are the Joy and rejoicing of your heart, and the kingdom of God is not meat and drink but in righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost! Do NOT let the devil rob your joy!

Christians who let the joy go and defeat, sadness, discouragement, and depression come in have broken down engines and much pain, anguish, sickness and sorrow! HOW MUCH BETTER TO KEEP LAUGHING IN THE HOLY GHOST JOY AND WALK IN HEALING, DELIVERANCE AND GREAT VICTORY IN JESUS!

Did you ever lose the keys to your car? Oops! Lol surely the car will NOT START without the KEYS! The KEYS TO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN ARE THE PROMISES OF GOD! All the promises of God are YES AND AMEN! It shall be so! Stand on, live in and by the PROMISES OF GOD AND AS YOU TURN THOSE KEYS EVERY THING THAT NEEDS TO START AND KEEP GOING WILL….ONE PROMISE OF GOD SCATTERS ALL THE enemies and is MORE POWERFUL than all problems, sickness, oppression,demons, fallen angels , witchcraft , and the devil! PUT THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION AND THE CAR WILL START AND KEEP GOING! Praise God!

Now to get the POWER from the battery to the spark plugs that ignite the fuel to power the engine you have spark plug wires and a distributor that takes the power to all the cylinders that power the engine! The wires to take the power into your heart and life and to distribute it is PRAISE! As you praise and worship God in the Spirit by faith and speak out His praises He comes in those praises and lives there…God inhabits our praises! See, praise is the what the Holy Spirit flows through and then God can work in our lives His wonders to perform! God said that if we won’t praise the Lord that the rocks would cry out and praise Him! It is very bad when a rock is smarter than some so called Christians! They sit in their pews of stubbornness and unbelief refusing to shout to God with the voice of triumph! They say they praise God in their own way!! Isn’t that interesting because God says to praise Him with a loud voice and to shout to God with the voice of triumph!
GET NEW WIRES! PRAISE JESUS AND ALLOW THE HOLY GHOST POWER TO IGNITE THE FUEL OF TH WORD OF GOD AND IT WILL PRODUCE SIGNS, WONDERS, AND MIRACLES!

You may have just let your car go a bit and it needs a tune up with a new battery, plugs, wires, new tires, and fuel! NO PROBLEM! STOP condemning yourself and RUN to JESUS repent and receive and confess His forgiveness and cleansing of all sin and ask Jesus to RESTORE YOU! Restore the joy of my salvation Jesus…..AND HE WILL! He stands with open arms waiting and looking for YOU to COME TO HIM AND CAST ALL your burdens on Him! You were NEVER meant to carry the burdens! Jesus will carry you and all the burdens and cares! RESTORE THE CAR….IT MAKES IT LIKE NEW AGAIN!

You have seen old cars just all rusted and dilapidated, and then someone RESTORES them to the original condition and they are beautiful and running great again! How much more Jesus will RESTORE you when you call on His name! He said He would restore ALL the years the enemy has taken away! Praise God! Jesus justifies you by faith and it is just as iff you never sinned!

What if people looked at a broken down car and just threw up their hands in despair and just gave up in despair and said it is impossible !??? That car would just sit there in a deplorable state! But it takes seeing what that car can be and then step by step doing the restoration! See what God says you are in Christ Jesus and LOOK TO HIM AND THE PROMISES OF GOD! See things through the eyes of Jesus and you will walk in the Spirit instead of in the flesh, and will move and speak by FAITH and not by sight! You will rise up off the dung hill, get cleaned up, put new clothes on ( the robe of righteousness), your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, put on the helmet of salvation and the breastplate of righteousness and take the sword of the Spirit which is the WORD OF GOD, taking up the shield of faith above all! RESTORATION IS YOURS!

Now when you get in your car the Holy Spirit will bring all this to you every day and every day as you walk in the truth it will be the POWER OF GOD all over the place; signs,wonders, and miracles, BLESSING,BLESSING,BLESSING, LOVE, JOY, PEACE AND ALL that God promises for FAITHFUL IS HE THAT CALLS YOU WHO ALSO WILL DO IT! AMEN!

Which car are you?
