The Treasure in Earthen Vessels
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.- 2 Cor. 4:7.
We are earthen vessels, and yet we have the glory of God within us. We are not only carriers of the glory of God, but also couriers. The presence of Christ within us not only removes the darkness from within but also the darkness we encounter. The light dispels the darkness; the darkness cannot dispel the light. The battles we go through often pertain to light coming against the darkness.
It is a war between the flesh and the spirit. The key to releasing the anointing is to trust the treasure, not the earthen vessel. It’s not about me, myself, and I; but it’s all about the Lord Jesus moving in and through us! It’s the excellency of His power, not ours. We just yield ourselves to Him. It’s not based on how great we are, but on how great He is. Hallelujah!
We come to God surrendering our own knowledge, understanding, and reasoning. As we step into His purpose, our hearts cry out, “Oh God! Manifest your glory so that everyone will know who you are. Oh God! Let the world know that You are on the throne.” He dispels the darkness, His light shines through us, from glory to glory!
