I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord

“But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.” - Micah 3v8

Micah knew the only source of his power. He knew that when he proclaimed the word of God he was not doing so on the basis of anything he had done or who is was. All around him were false prophets trying to proclaim things in their own authority and on the basis of their strength.

Micah had a job to do – he had to preach against sin in the land. He knew that he too was a sinner, but that was not the basis for his preaching. His preached was not strengthened by who he was, or the sort of man he was. It was based totally on the fact that he was preaching in the power of the Holy Spirit.

What a lesson for us! When we proclaim God’s word, whether it be in the pulpit or the shop, we don’t do so based on our power or who we are. If we don’t do this in the power and might of the Holy Spirit than we are going to fail every single time.
