We need the power of Christ. We need to access the greater things that Jesus said we’d be doing.
Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in Me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even grater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in My name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask Me for anything in My name, and I will do it. John 14:12-14
I’ve written about this verse before, but here we are again.
Over last weekend we had an assassination attempt in America. A presidential candidate was shot in the ear, barely sparing his life. Literally, one head movement changed it from a deadly tragedy for Trump, to an awakening. Although, one audience member did lose his life, heroically, as he covered his wife and daughter with his own body.
I want to honor that man’s sacrifice. I believe the best way we can is to begin to move in power.
After years of allowing the enemy to gaslight the church into silence and timidity, it’s time to break off that demonic yoke and move in power.
Who cares what others say? Of course, the lost will mostly not understand us…until the moment when God opens their eyes. Who cares what cessationists say? They are obviously missing the fruit. What if the moment of their awakening comes when they see God move in power.
We must become bold. Bolder still.
What if we believed we would be answered when we prayed? It’s obvious to me that many times we don’t truly expect it. We often, myself included, pray lack luster prayers that are more for us to look good, than for us to speak with God. I’m being really honest right now.
It’s time to bolster our faith. To storm heaven with requests for a move of God. Requests for power.
It’s a time of restoration of masculinity. This was clear over the weekend. The things that moved us and that brought us comfort, are the demonstrations of masculinity. Trump rising after the shot and pumping his fist while shouting, “Fight, Fight, Fight!!”. The father in the crowd throwing his body over his family to protect them. The men in the crowd who helped those who were shot.
God created men to move in power! Arise men!!! Arise and move in power!!!
It’s time to restore mothers to the home and to bring father’s back into the position of protector and provider. Any offense to this statement is not a measure of me…consider scripture and the Biblical landscape. God made it clear all throughout scripture that He has a godly order to family. This order, when lived out in partnership with Holy Spirit, leads to a deep respect between husband and wife. An order that shows our children that they are safe in the home. Building homes that create a place where our children can have freedom to grow and become who God wants them to be, because their parents have cultivated an ordered home, with respect for one another’s role in the Kingdom.
It’s time to move in power.
Real power isn’t something that even has to be said, because it is seen. You know when you are in the presence of a powerful person. It rests on their spirit. Power often moves quietly but isn’t afraid to get loud. Power moves in truth, seeing clearly that lies are a sign of weakness. Power operates in belief because it knows that unbelief is yet another sign of weakness.
Certainty. Power is certain.
Are you certain of what is true? Are you certain of what you believe?
God, may Your power begin to stir up inside of each of us. Forgive us for any time we’ve been afraid to move in power. Come over us and show us how to proceed in real power. Pour out Your Spirit upon us, God. Lead us into all You have laid aside for us. Come Holy Spirit, Come. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
