The Energy of God (seeJanuary 23, 2007)

"At last the day came and you made a New Year's resolution that would get rid of the whole base evil. And then the next year came around and you were doing the same old evil thing. Can you remember the surprise and disappointment that gripped you when you discovered that after all of your sincere effort-you discovered that after all that you had done through your resolutions to get rid of it- the old habit was still there? And out of amazement you found yourself asking, "Why could I not cast it out?" And in this moment of despair you decided to take your problem to God...You discovered that the evil was still with you. God would not cast it out."
His answer to the conflict was to form a partnership with God because neither God nor human beings alone can change human nature-"This is the only way to be delivered from the accumulated weight of evil, it can only be done when we allow the energy of God to be let loose in our souls. May we go out today big in faith."
