STEP TWO
We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
Read that word again. Could.
Not "might." Not "if we're lucky." Step Two isn't hedging on what God can do — His ability was never the question. "Could" is there because we're looking backward at the moment we finally admitted it. He always could. We just hadn't believed it yet.
After Step One left us with the truth that we can't fix ourselves, Step Two asks whether we're willing to say out loud that Somebody else can.
We didn't come to believe because someone out-argued us.
We came to believe because we watched it happen. Right here in our own church, we have seen God heal people and set them free by the power of the Holy Ghost. Not a story from somewhere far off. People sitting in the room with us.
This week we heard from a sister who was instantly delivered from addiction and received the Holy Ghost years ago — and has never looked back.
When Jesus set the Gadarene man free, the people came out and found him "sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind." (Luke 8:35) Restored to sanity. Then Jesus told him to go home and "shew how great things God hath done unto thee." (Luke 8:39) That's what a testimony is, and that's why we keep telling them.
If you can't believe it for yourself yet, come borrow ours until you can.
