In today’s world, we all understand how frustrating it is when our phone battery runs low. The screen dims, the apps slow down, and after a short while the phone will shut down because the battery is depleted. When the phone shut down, it is not useful at that point in time.

Many of us live our Christian lives the same way, running on spiritual low battery. Some Christians are on 4% faith, 4,5% holy, 3.5% prayer life, 3% spiritual etc. If you are on this level of spiritual battery, there will be no energy for prayers, no zeal for God and no joy in worship.

What is your spiritual battery level today? 

What Drains Your Spiritual Battery

As our phone battery is drained because of some unwanted apps running, also many Christians’ spiritual lives are drained.

CAUSES OF SPIRITUAL LOW BATTERY

1. Sin and Disobedience – Sin is a power leak (Isaiah 59:2)
2. Neglecting God’s Presence (John 15:4–5)
3. Worry, Fear, and Unbelief (Philippians 4:6–7)
4. Negative Associations (1 Corinthians 15:33)
5. Missing prayer and fellowship (Heb 10:25) 

SIGNS YOU’RE RUNNING ON LOW BATTERY

You cannot live a victorious Christian life if you are running on low spiritual battery. If your spiritual life is running low, you’ll notice:

1. You feel spiritually dry or disconnected.
2. Your prayer life weakens
3. No passion for worship or fellowship
4. Easily irritated or discouraged with the things of God
5. Spiritual fatigue
6. Spiritual apathy

HOW TO KEEP YOUR SPIRITUAL BATTERY CHARGED

1. Stay connected to God daily (John 15:5)
2. Feed on the Word and prayer constantly
3. Maintain fellowship with believers
4. Confess our sins and reprent
5. Avoid distractions and prioritize your spiritual life
6. Keep worship alive in your heart
7. Rely on the Holy Spirit, not your strength

CONCLUSION (Ephesians 6:10)

“Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.”

Every Christian need daily charging time with God. The presence of God is your charger, prayer is your cord, and the Holy Spirit is your power supply.

Don’t wait until your spiritual battery goes off before you plug back in. Come to the charging station of grace and stay connected.

You can’t rely only on Sunday’s power to survive till next Sunday.  Don’t run on low battery. Plug into Him, recharge in prayer and stay connected.
