“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, the power of the Highest hover over you.” (Luke 1:36 MSG)
What makes a good conductor of heat and electricity? Turns out that it’s all about free electrons. Metals have free electrons that are not strongly attached to the central atom. These free electrons move through metals easily, carrying electricity and heat. Metals are also malleable--their shape may change under pressure, but they don’t break easily. This allows them to be pounded into thin sheets or to be stretched into wire--forms that efficiently conduct energy.
How can we be good conductors of the Holy Spirit? We must detach from our egos. Be yielding and transformable; malleable, yet strong. Our character and our conduct must be conducive to the Holy Spirit. A constant commitment to God carves out a continual path for His Spirit to flow through us. As we align our lives with God’s will, we become conductors for His power.
“And Mary said, ‘Yes, I see it all now: I'm the Lord's maid, ready to serve. Let it be with me just as you say.’ (Luke 1:38 MSG)
