| 0:00.0 | This is Max Lakato. I believe we make the mistake the Welsh woman made. She lived many years ago |
| 0:06.8 | in a remote valley and felt it worth the cost to have electricity installed in her home. Several |
| 0:13.8 | weeks after the installation, the power company noticed she'd barely used any electricity. A meter reader went to see her. |
| 0:22.6 | Is there a problem? he asked. |
| 0:24.6 | Oh, no, we're quite satisfied. |
| 0:26.8 | Every night we turn on the electric lights to see how to light our lamps. |
| 0:31.8 | We're prone to do likewise. |
| 0:33.9 | Depend on God's spirit to save us, but not sustain us. We turn to him to get us started |
| 0:41.1 | and then continue in our own strength. It is possible to have the spirit but not let the spirit |
| 0:48.7 | have us. Scripture urges us to keep in step with the spirit. |
| 0:55.9 | Plug into his power and leave the switch turned on. |
