Scripture Reference:
• "Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me
will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater
things than these, because I am going to the Father." [John
14:12]
• "It is not for you to know the times or dates
the Father has set by his own authority. [8] But you will receive power
when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in
Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth"
[Acts 1:7-8]
• "But you have an anointing from the Holy One,
and you know the truth.... [27] And, the anointing you received from him
remains in you” [1John 2:20, 27]
ARISE AND SHINE:
Most of God’s people are living ordinary lives almost completely
unaware of the change that occurred in them once they received Christ
and the Holy Spirit came to dwell in them. Very little has changed in
them, or their lives. Yet, something DID happen: The power and glory of
Almighty God now resides in EVERY Born-Again child of God in the
presence of the Holy Spirit – and He is waiting for us to RISE UP and to
begin to SHINE with His glory.
• "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has
risen upon you."
[Isaiah 60:1]
Jesus told us: "No one lights a
lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl.
Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the
light."
[Luke 11:33]
But very few of God’s people are the shining examples of God’s
presence. The reason for this is because most are unaware of the fact
that Christians are a supernatural people, born again into a
supernatural life by a supernatural God - We are sustained by
supernatural food - We are taught by a supernatural teacher from a
supernatural book - We are led by a supernatural guide into supernatural
paths in order to obtain supernatural victories.
BELIEVE THE WORD OF GOD:
Unfortunately, too many Christians are either unaware or they fail to
believe the clear statements made in the Word of God regarding our
status in the Kingdom of Heaven – AND what the Lord has spoken regarding
us. Here are just a few scriptures that speak about US:
• "Herein is our love made perfect, that we may
have boldness in the Day of Judgment: BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN
THIS WORLD." [1John 4:17]
• "Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath
given me ARE FOR SIGNS AND FOR WONDERS from the LORD of hosts, which
dwells in mount Zion." [Isaiah 8:18]
• "As you go, preach, saying, The kingdom of
heaven is at hand. HEAL THE SICK, CLEANSE THE LEPERS, RAISE THE DEAD,
CAST OUT DEVILS: Freely you have received; freely give"
[Matt. 10:8]
• "AND THESE SIGNS SHALL FOLLOW THEM THAT BELIEVE;
In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new
tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly
thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and
they shall recover." [Mark 16:17-18]
• "YOU WILL RECEIVE POWER WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT
COMES ON YOU; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all
Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth" [Acts 1:8]
GOD'S PLAN FOR THE CHURCH: As
children of the Most High God it is important for us to understand that
the Lord HAS A PURPOSE for us during our time here on earth. However, in
order to carry out that plan we must first realize what that plan is –
how it applies to US – and the fat that the Lord EMPOWERED us so that we
CAN carry out His plan.
According to Scripture, it is God’s plan to reveal to all creation His
wisdom and authority THRU THE CHURCH (His people) and it is IN THE
CHURCH (His people) that He will be glorified. In order to accomplish
this He came to dwell IN us by His Spirit – and then EMPOWERED US with
His Spirit.
• "His intent was that now, THROUGH THE CHURCH,
the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and
authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose
that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord." [Eph. 3:10-11]
• "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding
abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that
worketh in us, [21] Unto him be GLORY IN THE CHURCH by Christ Jesus
throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. [Eph. 3:20-21]
Notice again what Jesus said and consider the implications in light of
what we now understand:
• "Believe me when I say that I am in the Father
and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the
works themselves. Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me WILL DO
THE WORKS I have been doing, and they will do even greater 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 14:11-14]
DO NOT BE AFRAID - NOR BE DISMAYED::
Deuteronomy 31:8 tells us: "The LORD himself goes
before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake
you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."
In Mark 16 the Lord Jesus assure us that as we begin to preach the
Gospel as HE preached it that SIGNS and WONDERS will begin to manifest.
And in verse 20 He tells us that we will know when we ARE preaching the
Word correctly because He will CONFIRM it with SIGNS FOLLOWING.
We are no longer just ordinary men and women: We are a SUPERNATURAL
people indwelt and empowered by the Holy Spirit of the Living God. So I
encourage you to be bold in your faith – Be bold in the Lord – Be bold
in your witness for Christ – Because it is the LORD Himself that dwells
in us. And, as we boldly proclaim the mercy, grace and power of God to a
dying world He WILL show Himself strong on our behalf.
