The Power

By
Acts 1-8(1)

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8

Christians are so powerful, not in ourselves but in the Spirit that lives in us. “That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death” Phil.3:10. Paul wrote the Book of Romans and Paul said that Spirit [the Resurrection Power] lives in you. This same Paul is saying, that I may know him and the power of his resurrection. This suggests that it is something you can grow and mature into. It is something that you can acquire as it were. While it is in you, it has to be deployed.

Imagine a power cable that is covered with rubber on the outside. No matter how potent the power is, because the cable is insulated, I can play with it and the power would deliver nothing. Right? But can I try to hold it when the same cable is naked? I cannot, except I want to do the electric slide. For many of us, The Power is locked up and insulated inside of us. We have to desire for it to be unleashed. That same power that raised up Jesus lives in you. If you are going to meditate throughout this week, just meditate on this; that same power that raised up Jesus lives in you. It is not half of the power. It is not a little bit of the power. It is not some of the power but that same power lives in you.

The first thing I experience is that The Resurrection Power gives me power to live. If that same Spirit lives in me, that same Spirit will empower me to live. And in living, I am going to encounter all sorts of opposition; but Jesus says, I give you power to tread upon serpent and tread upon scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you. That is power to live. It is the power to go to the village and not be afraid of witches. Some of you cannot relate to the village thing. That is ok but for some people their village is filled with all sorts of people who do not want to progress and do not want any other person to progress either. But God is saying I give you power…

You should not be afraid because greater is He that is in you. The indwelling Power is potent in itself. Yes those people are possessed but you are possessed too by a Higher Spirit. So why should you run from lesser spirits? I hope it makes sense.

Prayer:
Holy Spirit, please unleash The Power that God has deposited in me and let every insulator be permanently removed, in Jesus Name

THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression.  This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

You Must Forgive Yourself Hebrews 12:1-11 You have heard quite a lot about forgiving those that have offended you – and that you must do. It happens often that the person you must really forgive is yourself. You may have committed an offence or a sin and your conscience has condemned you, just as the Holy Spirit has chastised you. You may also have repented of this sin, confessed it to God and resolved not to go back that way. But you discover that the heaviness, clouded vision, and the erosion of confidence occasioned by the sin you committed continue to weigh you down. At such moments, you need to make another type of confession to God in order to regain your liberty from the weight that holds you down. You have to confess your unbelief in His word that says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). When you have genuinely repented of a sin and confessed it to God; and you have pleaded ...

Sin Stained...or Blood Washed?

By
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.  (Hebrews 10:16-17) The Bible tells us that under Levitical law, an animal had to be offered every year to atone for the sins of the people. That word atone means "to cover" and it's used continually throughout the Old Testament. But let me tell you something exciting. It's never used in the New Testament. The Greek word used to describe what Jesus did for us on the cross is a different word altogether. It doesn't just mean "to cover"—it means "to remit; to do completely away with something." Do you know what that means? It means there is no longer a sin problem. Jesus solved it! When you made Him your Lord, He didn't just cover your sins, He put you into right-standing with God and re-created you by the Spirit of God a...
