Don't look back
By Steve Powers

"…being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it
until the day of Jesus Christ." Phil. 1:6

About a year ago, Steve and I retired to Venice, Florida. This has been a dream of ours ever since we started
vacationing here several years ago. We love the beaches, the quaintness of the area, the shopping and the
sunshine. So after 35 years of teaching, I took a permanent summer vacation.

The move seemed perfect except for one big question in our lives: How would we grow spiritually? Would we
resort to watching TV? We were so tired of the mainstream churches. We wanted more: More of the Holy Spirit in
our lives, more meat to the teachings, more of the presence and power of God, more, more, more…There was a
deep longing in us.

We found the place, HOT (House of Truth), and the people, Shane and Marlene Roessiger.

We heard truth preached there like we’ve never heard before, experienced a new and fresh anointing of the Holy
Spirit in our lives with revelation and the word of God coming alive, and we returned to our first love and passion:
Jesus Christ. Steve and I knew right away that we were home…in more ways than one.

Choosing to walk closer to Jesus is serious business. As I press into Him, He is purifying me, showing me the
condition of my heart and pruning me, calling me to a higher level of holiness and responsibility in Him. I thought I
was a woman of faith. I thought I heard His voice. I thought I knew Him, but instead I learned that I have a long
way to go to stand strong in a storm. I have a long way to go to react in love and compassion, forgiveness and
humility. Create in me a clean heart, O God…

Here’s the good news---He is just waiting for us to cry out, “I don’t want to be the same anymore.
I don’t want to feel the same, react the same, stay the same. Change me, Lord!” I don’t want to resent anymore---
or take offense---or have self-pity and depression---or pride, envy, jealousy. I’m done with all that.

Easy to say? Yes. Easy to do? NO. Do you want the character of Christ worked in you and through you? Do you
want to follow Him down the narrow path? I do, but I am so sad to see many falling away. Church, there is much
deception and love of the world in us, in me. But I am working on myself. Are you?
Guard your heart...

Always in Him,
Elaine Powers
