Who Stops Your Power?

God has been teaching me something very interesting lately. Over the past few weeks the electricity in our house has got more and more weird with lights flickering like it was a haunted house, clocks gaining speed and no single clock in the house telling the right time, and all sorts of weird things.
In the end last Weds all the electricity went off, not a fuse or trip switch was blown, and then by doing nothing it came back on about 15 mins later.
So Thurs we called a friend and got the number of her tame electrician and phone him. He appeared about 5.30 and couldn't find a thing wrong though had some theories, but was very clear that it was not our fault, nothing was wrong with any of the electricity in our house. So we called out the national electricity providers, in the case Southern Electric. First they sent a sort of electrical paramedic guy who said we needed the men with the ladder, so they duly arrived.
Anyway it was discovered that it was nothing to do with us at all, but our electricity comes from a box on our neighbour's house, goes down thick cables firstly into her house, then out of there and into our house. And what had happened was that the out-terminal which would then take electricity to our house was corroded and so we didn't get a free flow. That has since been fixed and we now have lights that are brighter than ever and clocks that tell the same time!!

But what God said to me is sometimes the reason we cannot go at full power this Him is that the person we are connected to has got a bit corroded and needs some help; that so often we forget, esp in this individualistic world we live in here in the west what it means to be part of The Body of Christ. Oh yes we talk about it but in an abstract way that was never mean to be, when in fact we are all so connected that when one of those who feed into us are not totally sorted then it effects us.
But also what can be our tendency if and when we do see this is to go tell them and sort them out!!! But what He is saying to me through this is that firstly we should be checking our own house is in order, which we do through prayer and checking with Him, and then we call Him in as He is the only one who knows totally how to handle the power that is needed to change people, to clean their connections up, which can only be done through prayer and then leaving Him to it. If we had tried to touch those cables we would've died the power was so great.
I believe He was saying to me that too often we don't understand the awesomeness of His power and we treat it lightly rather than treating it with the respect it all deserves.
