Power Of The Greater One

Key Scripture: “Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.” I John 4:4

Power Point:

     What happens when the worst things happen? A believer believes no matter what.  A believer trusts that their good God is still on the throne. Satan may do his best to steal, kill and destroy but God’s plans are still on target to bring us a future filled with hope. 

After the events in Boston, I know that each of us responded differently. It was almost impossible not to remember seeing those horrible scenes from the Twin Towers 12 years ago.  After that horrible scene I was fearful. I was knocked off my moorings for a time. And then, I remembered that God had protected many people that day and saved their lives.  I remembered that I was still here and God still had a plan for me, and He was still good. This time, I simply got angry.

      When the worst things happen, Beloved, we have to link ourselves to heaven with an intensity that cannot be diffused or distracted. You can look around you and you can see the armies of the enemy surrounding you or you can look higher, into the air around you where God’s angel armies are armed, ready, and waiting for His command-through your mouth. Just like Elisha in 2 Kings 6 who was confronted by his servant’s panic, we have to see that those who are with us are far more than those who are against us. We do not panic. We do not lose courage. Like Elisha we must look into the unseen, into the Kingdom of God.  Jesus came and enlisted us in His army, and He seems to be determined to remind us that “Greater is He that is in us, than he that is in the world.” Greater means more powerful, more numerous, more efficient, more-everything!  Abundant life is always MORE than enough. Of everything you need.

Dear friend, do not let the enemy knock you off your moorings.  Keep your boat firmly anchored in the hope that we have in Christ.

This came from Bobby Connor, on the day of the bombings. Bobby is a modern day Elisha, who helps us see into the unseen:

“The Spirit of God is anointing and empowering dedicated, consecrated Believers with unstoppable authority (Luke 10:19). These are ordinary people who do extraordinary exploits for the glory of God (Daniel 11:32b). They have embraced the promise from Christ concerning who they are and what they can accomplish by His Spirit (John 14:12).

…Prepare, Prepare, Prepare!

Truly, as promised in Esther 4:14, we are in the Kingdom for such a time as this. Rejoice, for you can know for certain that the Kingdom is in you for such a day as this! Be confident: you are born for this day. Do not delay to move forward by faith, walking in victory and taking your place as an overcomer, embracing fully the destiny God has planned for you (Ephesians 5:14-16).”

     So Beloved, we grieve for our country and for those who were personally harmed by these blasts but we do not grieve as those who have no hope. That’s what UN-believers do. Believers, (that would be you and that would be me), believe that we are here for such a time as this, and we are called to carry the presence of God wherever we go, and we are the ones who bring heaven to earth, until Jesus comes again.

So, pick yourself UP! Dust yourself off! And BELIEVE!

Power Thought:

I think we just graduated from Basic Believing 103. This was your mid term.  Believe. You are stronger than you know.
