Fr. Pierre Konja - Sunday after Ascension 2022 by Chaldean Diocese

“Behold I am sending the promise of my Father[l] upon you; but stay in the city until you are clothed with POWER FROM ON HIGH.”

When we feel powerless, we are tempted to control.

We TRY TO CONTROL because we FEAR what will happen if we don’t control!

SERENITY PRAYER

God grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change;

courage to change the things I can;

and wisdom to know the difference.

Jesus says to St. Paul “POWER is made perfect in WEAKNESS”

Jesus said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for POWER is made perfect in weakness.” I will rather boast most gladly of my weaknesses,[b] in order that the POWER OF CHRIST may dwell with me. 10 … for when I am weak, then I am strong.

Instead of CONTROL, acting from Fear… we SURRENDER, living in FAITH!

When we are powerless, we need to SURRENDER TO THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIIRT – and RECEIVE MORE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

LET GO and LET GOD

We are not powerless… because we have been ANOINTED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT!

1 Samuel 16:13

13 Then Samuel, with the horn of oil in hand, anointed him in the midst of his brothers, and from that day on, the spirit of the Lord rushed upon David

In the Name of Jesus, I renounce the Spirit of Pride

In the Name of Jesus, I renounce the Spirit of Self-Reliance

In the Name of Jesus, I renounce the Spirit of Fear

In the Name of Jesus, I renounce the Spirit of Control

In the Name of Jesus, I renounce the Spirit of Powerlessness

Come Holy Spirit!
