Paul said in Romans 15:19:
“I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.”
Can we say the same?
Do we speak boldly, is there Power in our Words? Or are we just filling the air, with white noise?
We have many Churches, with folks that love the Lord, and they are faithful;… to their Church, or Denomination. (But),
Are they full of Faith in the Lord?
The Gospel we preach, has no Power.
How can we expect the flock to believe the Lord, is able to Comfort, Heal, and Change lives, when we seemingly have No Power.
Saints, we must have more.
More Love, More Power, More of God, of Jesus, of the Holy Spirit in our hearts and life. The first believers;
Romans 15: 19.
“Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.“
Mighty Signs and Wonders, by the Power of the Spirit of God.
That, is what is missing from the Gospel we Preach. Why?
Why does the Church rarely see Signs and Wonders?
Acts 14: 3.
“Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.“
We do not have the Testimony of His Grace, we are not granted His Signs and Wonders.
We don’t speak boldly, about God’s healing, or miracle Powers, because we want to believe, and do believe He can, but do not know, that He will, honour His Word.
Like the Leper that came to Jesus and said, ‘If you will, you can heal me.’ A statement, wrapped in a question.
Our faith explained. We believe, but do not know.
When the Word clearly tells us, ‘we have the mind of Christ, our effectual, fervent prayers availeth much, we shall not want, my God will supply all my needs, by Christ Jesus.’
The Word is not engrafted, in our hearts by meditation, study, and prayer.
We have not been transformed, by the renewing of our minds. (Romans 12)
We do not know the ‘Good, Acceptable, or Perfect, will of God.’
When we are clearly called to this knowledge.
If we would comprehend, the Will of God;
Mark 16:20
“And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.”
This is what ‘the Church,’ lacks, it will only return, when we return, when we transform our minds, and accept the mind of Christ, over our own.
We need to think and act as Christ would.
‘Only believe, nothing is impossible to those who believe.’
Will we?
Amen
Amen!
