Dear Christian Believers,
May God bless you and your family in the name of Jesus Christ.
In John 17 Jesus was praying for his disciples and for
those that would believe on him in the future.
John 1 7:20-23a
NEITHER pray I for these alone, (referring to the disciples) but
for them also which SHALL (future) believe on me through their
word.
THAT they ALL may be ONE' as THOU, FATHER art in me, and I in
THEE, that they also may be one in us:
that the world may believe that THOU has sent me.
AND the glory which THOU gayest me I have given them; that they
may be ONE, even as we are ONE:
"I in them, and THOU in me, that they may be made perfect
in ONE; ..."
In Acts 2:4 this
became possible and a reality with the outpouring of the holy spirit
and the new birth. Folks, it's "God in Christ in You the hope of
glory," Colossians 1:27. If we have GOD in Christ
in Us - then we operate all nine manifestations of holy spirit and
that includes Gifts of Healing. Wayne and I have been sounding out
the Word of God on the topic of ... Ministering With God's
Power. We are reading the records that teach us how we
are to do the works of Jesus Christ. On the day of PENTECOST we
were equipped and made able ministers of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The born-again Christian needs to know what he has and how
to use it. We are making this knowlege available through the doctrinal
and practical teachings in the "Power Of God" Biblical
Series. All we can do is make this knowledge available and encourage
you to do the works of Jesus Christ, but it is YOUR CHOICE , you
make your decisions.
Jesus has given us the authority of his name. Legally it
is called "Power of Attorney." In Matthew 10:1
Jesus gave the 12 disciples power over unclean spirits, to cast
them Out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
Today we have that same authority and power.
John 14:13-14
AND whatsoever ye shall ASK IN MY NAME, that will I DO that the
FATHER may be glorified.
IF ye shall ASK ANYTHING IN MY NAME, I Will DO IT.
It is repeated or said twice. Whenever
something in the Word of GOD is declared twice - IT IS ESTABLISHED!
John 14:12
VERILY, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works
that I do shall he DO also; and greater works than these shall
he DO; because I go unto my FATHER.
We have the right and the might to
DO the works that Jesus did and greater. GOD has given him a name
above EVERY NAME, a name with Authority and Power. Philippians
2:10 says every knee must bow, (every name is beneath his
name and is subject to him), the names of SEA, WIND and WATER -
the names of ALL SICKNESS and DISEASE, past, present, and future
- the names of EVERY DEVIL SPIRIT that exists. WE are sons of GOD
and we've been given EXCEEDING GREAT and MIGHTY POWER.
Ephesians 1:19-20
AND what is the exceeding greatness of HIS POWER to US-WARD who
believe according to the working of HIS MIGHTY POWER.
WHICH HE wrought in Christ when HE raised him from the dead, and
set him at HIS own right hand in the heavenly places.
Let us celebrate PENTECOST by glorifying
our GOD, and manifesting all we've been given through the Lord Jesus
Christ, and the love of our Father. Let us BELIEVE on him and do
the works of Jesus Christ and greater as He promised.
John
