Can you imagine living in a big beautiful house all wired with electricity?

Well able to run your refrigerator? Well able to run your air conditioning?

You're all of your lights. You can plug in all your small appliances.

All the modern things that we have. Can you imagine living in a home like that?

But not being able to run any of that stuff?

It's all wired with power and electricity. But you didn't go out to the breaker box and flip on the switch.

Wouldn't that be crazy? I can't even imagine how they lived without power.

It'd be difficult to imagine because we have gotten so used to having our appliances plugged in.

Listen, I bet nobody in here would go out of their house without charging their phone.

And I don't know if you're like me if my phone runs out of battery. I'm looking for someone with a charger.

I'm going to plug into that power because I don't want to be disconnected. I want my phone fully charged.

It would be crazy to live without power when it's available to you.

But do you know so many people are living in a house and they're never switching on the power?

They're never switching on the breaker box. You see God has wired you with power.

You are fully wired with power. But you got to turn it on.

How do we turn on this power? Listen to what it says in Romans 10, 9.

Now you have to understand this verse is so key to the power of God in you.

It not only tells you how to get wired but it tells you how to flow in the power.

It says, if you will declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and if you will believe with your heart that God raised him from the dead, then you will be saved.

With the heart, man believes with the mouth, man makes confessions and to righteousness.
