“It is God who works in you.” Php 2:13 NKJV

A conduit is a channel through which things like water and electricity move from one point to another. And you are God’s conduit! You are designed to be a free-flowing channel for Jesus Christ Himself. God has chosen you to be His “change-agent” in the earth. In the Lord’s Prayer the original Greek says, “Come thy kingdom. Be done thy will” (See Mt 6:10). Jesus no longer walks among us physically, but He has given us His mandate and all the power we need to carry it out. In other words, it’s going to happen through you. (Don’t look so incredulous…yes, through you!) In Deuteronomy 11:24 God promised His people that He’d give them every place on which they set the soles of their feet. We bring the influence and benefits of God’s kingdom wherever we go. The problem is, our “receivers” don’t always work. It takes faith to believe we actually hear God’s instructions, just as it takes faith to believe an unseen radio wave is passing through our living rooms. Because we’re confident of that reality, we tune in, receive and transmit.

Scientists tell us that the greatest metal conduit is pure gold. According to the Bible, that’s our faith (See 1Pe 1:7). But certain obstacles can block our ability to receive and be conduits for God. If our hearts are hard, our wires are down, or if we’re unaware of our identity as conduits, we go through life without tapping into the power God’s given us. We must be full of the Word of God, and most importantly, spend time in intimacy with the Lord in order to be God’s conduit.
