The real key to success for the believer who wants to live his life with joy and victory is to rely upon God’s power and not our own.  God provides His power for Christian living.  It does not come automatically just because we are saved.  God’s power is received as we depend upon Him with all of our heart, will and soul. The danger in losing God’s power for service and living comes when we fail draw from Him in prayer.  When this happens we become inconsistent and powerless. The following article is a real life key to success.

    “A fellow who had been reared in the city bought a farm and several milk cows. In the feed store one day he complained his best cow had gone dry.

   "Aren't you feeding her right?" asked the store owner.

   "I'm feeding her what you've been selling me," said the man.

   "Are you milking her everyday?"

   "Just about. If I need six or eight ounces of milk for breakfast, I go out and get it. If I don't need any, I don't get it–I just let her save it up."

   The feed store owner had to explain it doesn't work that way. With cow's milk, like God's presence, you take all that's there, or you eventually have nothing. Asking for God's power in six-ounce doses, or asking sporadically only at our convenience, may mean that for us, the source dries up.” – Don Aycock, Franklinton, Louisiana,
