For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.
– 1 John 5:3 (New American Standard Bible (©1995))
God doesn’t give us commandments because He loves telling us what we cannot do. No, He knows what is best for us like any good parent strives to do. He is trying to protect you from messing up your life!
It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh accomplishes nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
– John 6:63 (International Standard Version (©2008))
The devil makes many people believe the miraculous power comes from a man. It’s doesn’t. It comes directly from God. Stop seeking man’s touch and reach out to Jesus Himself.

My brothers and sisters, be very happy when you are tested in different ways. You know that such testing of your faith produces endurance. Endure until your testing is over. Then you will be mature and complete, and you won’t need anything.
– James 1:2-4 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
