Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is Thine; Thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and Thou art exalted as head above all.
1 Chronicles 29:11
I have heard people speak of the power of God like it belongs to them
Their mention of the power of God is increasing
They proclaim it, they speak it and command it
They believe it and they want to bring it down to Earth
That is the new wave
What is the power of God?
Do we bring it to Earth by anything we do?
or is it solely at His discretion?
During the revivals in times past, who created those revivals?
When is the latter rain coming and can we bring it forth?
The most important things to watch out for is pushing God out of the way
We do not own God’s power, we do not own any gifts of the Spirit,
well, He might lend them to us and allow us to use them but God forbid,
we push God out of the way to use His glory or to use it for our glory
or seek Him only to see His glory
Knowing Him is the most,
the most wonderful thing we can ever experience
We are given gifts so we can help others and ourselves to know Him better,
and to draw close to Him
Without Him, the gifts mean nothing
Pushing Him aside to use His gifts for ourselves or for others
without a humble heart will dishonor God and His Son, Jesus Christ
For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ,
and Him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear,
and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching
was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom,
but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
1 Corinthians 2:2-5
Keep humility and the fear of the Lord and faith in what He can do
Learning what He has done in the past will strengthen our faith,
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17
Faith is not something we can take
Faith is not something we own
It is something we acquire from the Lord God Almighty, through Jesus Christ
This is to Whom the power belongs:
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. Matt 6:13
Remain humble as He shows you His power
and remember it is to help draw all men unto Him
Whose Power? Jesus’ power
