Imagine having two cars in your garage. The first is a brand-new, shiny, top-of-the-line Porsche with a monster V6 engine. The second is a decrepit, malfunctioning, smoke-belching, about-to-disintegrate Owner Jeep that was used in World War II. But as insane as this may sound, everywhere you go, you choose to drive the rusty vehicle. You never use the Porsche. The jeep conks out on you every day, it's embarrassing. You spend more time pushing it than driving it. It's so rusty, you have to get a tetanus shot. Spare parts always fall off your jeep, you always receive tickets for littering. But no matter how many problems the jeep gives you, you simply refuse to use the Porsche.
Nuts, right? But that's what we do in our life. We refuse to use God's Power!
God has given us power to accomplish His dreams for our life. The Bible says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:17).
Like that Porsche on our garage, God has given us an inner Force beyond our wildest imagination. Remember Star Wars? It was one of the first movies I watched. "May the Force be with you," Obi-wan said to Luke Skywalker. Did you notice? It's so similar to our response at Mass, "May the Lord be with you."
Star Wars is fiction. But the spiritual war is real. And "the Force" that God put in our hands is very real too. God has given you the power to move mountains (Talk 1), enlarge territories (Talk 2), multiply harvests (Talk 3), and finish strong (Talk 4).
My wish for you is that after this series, you start using God's Power in your life.
May the force be with you,
Bro. Buddy Tan
