ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I want to first and foremost thank God the Father who is my Creator, God the Son who is my Savior and God the Holy Spirit who is my Keeper. Without Him and His inspiration and guidance this book would never have been. I also thank Him for ordering
my words that they might be a help in the Power walk of believers.
Secondly, I want to thank my family for their support and encouragement in this endeavor. Your sacrifices of time with me, creating an environment around me so that I could hear from the Lord is greatly appreciated.
To my wife, my cool breeze on a hot day and warm hug on a cold night
, Sharon Lavern, I thank God daily for sending you to me. I thank you for being a wife who brings honor to her husband, a mother to our children, a person in whom I can confide and my best
friend. You have helped me to become the minister that God would have me to be, the husband that I wanted to be, the father that I needed to be and the man that the Master created me to be.
To Donavon and Carmen, thank you for sharing Daddy
with so many others. I love you both and am extremely proud of you.
I want to say thank you to a special group of individuals who continued to encourage me in the process. Out of fear of overlooking someone who provided me suggestions and insights, I want to express to each of you how appreciative I am for your commentary, corrections, and charity shown toward me.
Last and certainly not least, I want to thank the Bethesda Missionary Baptist Church of Marshall, Texas for you being led by the Holy Spirit to call me as your pastor. Because of your love and support, allowing Bethesda to be a spiritual racetrack
where Power walk could be implemented, we have all grown because of the experience.
To all who purchase this book, I say Thank You
. I also greet you as fellow believers and extend words of encouragement as you begin or continue your Power walk toward spiritual maturity through the aid of the Holy Spirit.
THE POWER WALKER PLEDGE
You’ve done it! The decision has been made, the dye has been cast, and you have stepped over the line with an emphatic profession of faith in Jesus Christ. As a disciple of Christ, you have verbally declared that you will no longer look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be stagnant. By faith, your past has been redeemed, your present makes sense, and your eternal future is now secure. By declaration, you are finished with low living, sight walking, worldly talking, miserly giving, and spiritless visions. Because you have given preeminence by Christ, you no longer need prosperity, position, promotions, power, or popularity to be considered a success. By worldly standards, you no longer have to be right, recognized, regarded, or rewarded because you are redeemed by the Resurrected Savior.
Being declared justified, you can live by faith, walk in victory, and labour in love. Your mission is clear and undeniable because it has been conferred by Christ. You cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded, or delayed. By the power of the Holy Spirit, you will not flinch in the face of fear, hesitate in the presence of hostility, pander at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity. As you press toward the mark of the high calling, you will not give up, shut up, or let up, until you have prayed up, praised up, paid up, and spoken up for your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
You’ve done it! You are an armor wearing, truth proclaiming, sword carrying Power walker. Therefore, Power walk in the power of the Holy Spirit! [adapted]
INTRODUCTION
Although every believer has the Holy Spirit, it is possible to operate our lives apart from His control.
¹
The athlete that expends a tremendous amount of energy and burns off necessary electrolytes might drink a Powerade. An employee with more tenure might pull a power play in order to get a preferred promotion or assignment. An electrical short circuit might result in a power drain. The Dallas Cowboys of the early 1990s and the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls were considered powerhouses. In preparation for a job interview, businessmen might wear a power tie or might suggest a power lunch to impress the potential client. A fitness conscious female might prefer a power walk to a leisure stroll. Although very different, each of these items is a description and the common bond among them is the word, power.
The title of this book draws on the same word: Power!
However, the power that the believer needs to progress spiritually is the power that comes through the Holy Spirit
² (Romans 15:13) and the walk is the one that burns off sinful calories and builds biblical muscles. Yet, as McHenry affirmed, it is possible to live our lives apart from the control of the Holy Spirit. His power can lie dormant—available, but not being used, like power stored in a battery. To live and walk victoriously on the Power walk, the believer must tap into the effectual power of God that He provides through the Holy Spirit. This book is designed to help believers maintain their spiritual equilibrium and is intended to be informational, inspirational and practical
