Christ Is Power!

Christ Jesus is the power of God's Creation.

Through Him everything that exists was made. (John 1:3)

Christ Jesus showed throughout His ministry His power

Through signs and wonders.

He rose from the dead by the power of God.

All authority, all power in Heaven and on earth has been given to Him.

(Matthew 28:18)

Christ Jesus told His disciples that they would receive power

When the Holy Spirit came upon them at Pentecost. (Acts 1:8)

The Church of God is a Church with the power of God manifested.

There is no Church of God without the manifested power of God.

The apostle Paul said:

My message and my preaching

Were not with wise and persuasive words,

But with a demonstration of the Spirit's power,

So that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom,

But on God's power. (1 Corinthians 2:4-5)

The faith of those who believe in Christ Jesus

Is not to rest on man's wisdom but on God's power.

The manifested power of God

Confirmed the message of the first disciples.

After His resurrection Christ Jesus told His disciples:

'Go into all the world and preach the Good News to all creation.

Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved,

But whoever does not believe will be condemned.

And these signs will accompany those who believe:

In My Name they will drive out demons; They will speak in new tongues;

They will pick up snakes with their hands;

And when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all;

They will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.'

After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was taken up into heaven 

And He sat at the right hand of God.

Then the disciples went out and preached every where,

And the Lord worked with them

And confirmed His Word by THE SIGNS that accompanied it.

(Mark 16:15-20)

The Book of Acts is a testament of God manifesting His power in His Church.

The Church [Israel] that Christ Jesus came to was a powerless Church.

In fact, although Israel believed they were God's Church, they were not.

The religious leaders of Israel, God's Church of the time, hated Christ Jesus Because He manifested the power of God that they did not have.

The whole world went after Christ Jesus

But not after them and they were jealous. (John 12:19)

As a result of their jealousy, the Church of God, Israel,

Crucified the Christ of God.

When Israel crucified the Christ of God

Their house was left to them desolate as Christ had prophesied. (Luke 13:35)

Jerusalem and their Temple were destroyed in 70 A.D.

They had said let the blood of Christ be upon us and our children

And by the power of Christ they got what they asked for.

Israel was not restored as a nation until 1948,

And that by the the prophetic Word of God; by the power of God.

On The Day Of Pentecost, God gave birth to His Church anew;

A Church with power as is demonstrated throughout The Book Of Acts.

This power of God's Church has been demonstrated

In every generation since Pentecost up to this present day.

There is no Church of God without the power of God manifested.

The faith of God's Church will rest upon God's manifested power

As the apostle Paul proclaimed.

This manifested power will be signs and wonders

And the overwhelming Presence of the Living God;

A pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night,

As in the days of Moses.

As we move forward from today according to God's time line

We will see this reality made clear.

The Bride of Christ will come to His church with the manifested power of God

As did Christ Jesus.

How The Church of God responses to this manifested power

Will determine her future.

Many will respond as did Israel in the time of Christ Jesus,

And their house will be left to them desolate.

Some will respond by welcoming Christ, His Bride, and His power

And the Church of God will be born anew;

There will be a New Book Of Acts written in this Last Day! Hallelujah!

The latter house will be greater than the former house! (Haggai 2:9)

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
