The ignition spark on the oven just
wasn’t doing anything. It was
supposed to deliver the spark to the
gas and then we could get cooking.
But nothing. All the hardware was
there. The oven, the gas rings, the
gas connected. But no spark. It had
become clogged with years of dirt
and grease. It needed a clean.
Life. It’s all there, but the spark is
missing. As far as human beings are
concerned we are not fully alive until we
have the ‘spark’ of God’s Holy Spirit in
our lives. We were never meant to live
life without him. It’s as senseless as
trying to cook without power.
How do we get the spark? Become
religious? No. Pray hard? No. Go to
church? No. None of these deal with the
issue. We need to get rid of the dirt and
press the ‘ignition’ button.
How? Don’t cover up the dirt, but get rid
of it. There’s stuff that has spoiled your
life – the grime and dirt has built up.
You can be clean by asking God to
forgive you for the wrong you have done.
Admit it and say sorry.
Then ask for God’s Spirit to come to
your life to make you what you were
meant to be.

Try praying this:
Jesus, I’m sorry for things that have
spoiled my life. I must have
offended you in it all as well.
Please forgive me and help me to
forgive myself. I ask that you would
come in to my life right now
through your Spirit and make me
the kind of person you want me to
be. Turn on the ignition and let me
really live as you want me to. Amen

Keep on praying for:
- Your Big Issue –that thing you really
want God to make a difference to.
- Others –your friend or family member
who needs help.
