WALKING IN DEMONSTRATION OF THE SPIRIT & POWER

 

 

In the book of 1 Corinthians chapter 2 Paul told the Corinthian church that he did not come with eloquence of speech or carnal persuasiveness, but with the presence and power of the Holy Spirit that their faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.  

If we want to experience the supernatural intervention of God, we cannot have the same thoughts as mere men and women. We can no longer see ourselves as grasshoppers as ten of the twelve spies saw themselves as they entered Canaan, but we must see ourselves as Joshua and Caleb. We are more than conquerors. Jesus has commissioned all believers to heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead and cast out demons. He has given us authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt us. We have been called to do great exploits and minister with miracles, signs and wonders following. When the apostle Paul prayed for people they were healed, set free, delivered, and even the dead were raised. Now is the time for the body of Christ to move into the next level.

The Lord says; This is a new day. You are the generation who will walk in authority, power and demonstration of My kingdom. I am about to release My glory on this earth as it is in heaven. I have created you for miracles, signs and wonders. I am looking for those who will speak to the mountains, rather than encircle the mountains repeatedly. I am looking for those who will run the race with endurance and stand strong when the winds and waves of adversity arise. They will be those who will walk on water rather than allowing the waves to overtake them. They are those who will release My light into areas of darkness, and the temptations and desires of the wicked shall perish as they come into the light. They will drive out the inhabitants of the land and my glory will arise.

As you allow My word to sustain you, you will soon be strengthened beyond your natural abilities. You will no longer be limited in your ways of thinking. You will no longer look to the wisdom of man, but you will trust the truth of My word. As you trust Me, you will no longer be confused by diverse doctrines. My word will not return void but will accomplish all that I have set out for it to do. Just as Paul threw off the viper, I will give you the authority to throw the vipers off that tries to attach themselves to you. You are not mere men and women, but you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation and you will also bring others out of the kingdom of darkness into My marvelous light. This is the day of demonstration of My glory. This is the divine plan and purpose that I have for this season says the Lord. 

1 Corinthians 2:4-5 

And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

1 Corinthians 2:9-10 

But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him." But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

1 Corinthians 2:13-14 

These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned
