Bible Verse of The Day – 7-24-12

(John 14:12 NKJV)  “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.

I know we have touched on this subject recently, but I want to hit it again because it’s so very critical to the life of the church.

Jesus spoke these words. He proclaimed very plainly, using no symbolism whatsoever, that we, His followers and believers, would do greater works than He did. He went on to say, a few verses later, that the Father would be sending the Holy Spirit, the helper, who would abide with us forever.

Jesus never, ever told us that we would do miracles for a short time and then that power would run out when the last apostle died. He never intended for His church to be duped into believing that healing and deliverance were only for specific people to perform during a specific era.

In the verse above He plainly stated that “he who believes in Me” will do greater works then He did.

We are meant to live a life that displays the power of God through the Holy Spirit. We need the power of the Holy Spirit. Anything less is just knowledge and intellectualism. Intellect can never fight spiritual battles, cast out demons or heal a sick body.

I implore you today to believe God’s word in its full power, not just part of it! It’s essential for us to take God at His word and live a life of power and spiritual understanding if we are to be effective in this world.

Seek God and ask Him to give you understanding so you can walk in the power He intended for us to have.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-21-12

(Mark 16:17-18 NKJV)  “And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; {18} “they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

Jesus left us with a command to cast out demons, heal the sick, and much more.

We have been given power and authority in the name of Jesus. We are not weak or powerless, unless we choose to be. As believers and followers of Christ, we have what we need to live a strong, bold, victorious life. But we have to know and understand that fact and then choose to walk in it!

Let me reiterate that once more: We are not weak and powerless unless we choose to be!

As believers we need to learn to walk in the authority that we have been given. It’s the key to shaking off that feeling of always carrying a heavy burden, hopelessness, powerlessness, etc.

So how do we do this? We recognize the things that are coming against us by the discernment given to us in the Holy Spirit and then we tell these things to leave our lives, in the name of Jesus.

Demons would tremble when Jesus came into their territory. They would beg Him not to cast them out. Why? Because they knew that when He spoke, they had to obey… because He had authority over them.

We have this same authority. It was given to us when we became a follower of Christ. We need to use it boldly! We need to take charge of our homes and our lives, in Jesus’ name.

Don’t walk in oppression and powerlessness any longer. Rise up and take charge of your life in Jesus’ name!
