The Power II

By
romans-8_11
“The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you” Rom.8:11

The Resurrection Power gives you and I power to live. And with the power to live comes the power to love. That power that God has given you is the power to love. “And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love” Rom.5:5 [emphasis added]. Everyone that has experienced the Resurrection Power has their hearts filled with love, not hate, not envy not bitterness, not malice but filled with love.

THE POWER l

The capacity to love is in you. Invariably, the Resurrection Power gives us the power to forgive. If you find out that you cannot forgive, you need to go back to the roots. Something is wrong with your connection to The Resurrection Power. If you find out that you struggle with forgiving people who have hurt you, then go back to the roots. Why? Because the Resurrection Power gives us power to forgive. Jesus did not say do not offend one another. When I first read that part of the Bible, it upset me. Why would God say forgive one another instead of do not offend one another? But with time, I realized that for God to say forgive one another, it implies that people will offend you. The Resurrection Power does not only enable you to trample upon serpents and scorpions, it also enables you to love and forgive. And it is the same power!

To get in contact with this God, all we need to do is believe. Only believe! Isn’t that simplistic? Exactly, that is where God is. Only believe! So many things separated Jesus from all the other so-called religious leaders [the people that started movements]. Every one of them pointed people to believe in principles or in higher being. Jesus taught His people to believe in Him. There is no leader of any form of religion that says to people - believe in me or put your faith in me.

When Martha came and said to Jesus, if you had been here my brother would not have died, Jesus did not say I can explain the Resurrection and the Life. Jesus did not say I can point you to the Resurrection and the Life. Jesus did not say let us go and consult the Resurrection and the Life. Jesus said, “I am the Resurrection and the Life”.

Prayer [song]: All honor. All glory. All power to You [repeat]. Holy Father we worship You. Precious Jesus our Savior. Holy Spirit we wait on you (3x), for fire [repeat]. Amen!

His Channels

By
Rom.1:20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God [with emphasis]. So far we have examined three channels God uses to speak to us. If you are not reading your Bible consistently, if you are not listening to messages over and over again, and if you are not accountable to other believers, you do not have believers that are speaking into your life, you have already missed three main channels God speaks through. Channel #4: God speaks to us through His Creation. Ps.19:1 The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. 2 Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. 3 They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. 4 Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world [with emphasis]. God’s cre...

Dominion Mandate Daily Devotional February 26, 2016

THEME: RETREAT TO REFRESH READ: Matt. 11:25-30 When some musicians want to release great songs, they retreat to secluded places where they can reflect, meditate and create. Some choose places overlooking the vast oceans, some choose where there are waterfalls, and some choose places with thick forestations.  As they observe the beauty of nature, the swift moves and songs of the soaring birds, the colourful flowering vegetations, the serene beaches and the unending waves of the nearby waters, they capture inspiration that helps them develop the hit songs they have been longing for. I met one of the world’s renowned musicians in Atlanta, USA a few years ago where journalist surrounded him and were asking what he had come to do and why his beards had grown so much. He said that his last album did not perform well enough and he was incubating another one he wanted to release that would perform better. He said that he needed to pull away from the Noise of New York and California ...

Setting Prisoners Free

By
Our Daily Bread Devotional 4th October, 2016 Read: Psalm 146 Bible in a Year: Isaiah 20-22; Ephesians 6 The Lord sets prisoners free. (Psalm 146:7) When my wife and I visited the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force near Savannah, Georgia, we were especially moved by the prisoner-of-war exhibit, with its re-creation of a German prisoner-of-war camp’s barracks. Marlene’s dad, Jim, served in the Eighth Air Force, the “Mighty Eighth,” as they flew missions over Europe during World War II. During the war, the Eighth Air Force suffered over 47,000 injuries and more than 26,000 deaths. Jim was one of those shot down and held as a prisoner of war. As we walked through the exhibit, we recalled Jim telling about the absolute joy he and his fellow prisoners felt the day they were set free. God’s care for the oppressed and liberation of the imprisoned are declared in Psalm 146. The psalmist describes the one who “upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the ...
