Welcome and Blessings to All. Forgive me for not fellowshipping in awhile. I would like to talk about the concept of Power in relationship to Yeshua/Jesus.. Most people who are the Body of GOD hardly ever address the issue that the Messiah came with offerings of not only forgiveness, redemption, Peace, but also all means of Power to manipulate your enviroment for Kingdom sake. He gave his disciples power to heal the sick and cast out demons. He told them if they had the faith the size of a mustard seed that they could move mountains. The gifts of the Spirit(discernment,tongues,healing,prophecy,leadership,etc) are no more that tools of Power to Awaken and guide the Lost unto the Body and edify the existing members. Eternal life in a most glorious kingdom ruling the universe is a mesage of Power.
We must not take meek for weak. Or peace as powerless. He has come with a sword to destroy the old traditions and unions that rule this natural world. As He comes as a Righteous King(The King of King and Lord of Lords) He comes to destroy the Beast and this Hell to raise Heaven-New Zion.
Please do not get me wrong, there are many forms of Power and the Messiah taught on all of them. Jesus' greatest power is in his Grace for which we are saved. Our actions of different forms of Power(giving, rebuking,submission,might,etc)have no bearing on our Ascention. We are powered in the Body by His Spirit in connection to us as One. Remember that you are a part of an Army. Some are grunts, others officers, support, intelligence, etc, and others are of the Special Forces(Spirit Recon-Shadow Warriors) units who must go deep into the bowels of the walking dead to rescue the Lost by all means necessary. So understand the Power that you have to affect the lives of those around you by bringing the example of our Love that Christ has for us such as Joy,patience,understanding,Truth, and being a good friend-Love sombody.
The Power is in His Grace.
