TOPIC: The Key To Divine Power
MEMORISE: "If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit." – Galatians 5:25 (KJV)
READ: Acts 2:1-4 (KJV)
1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven like a rushing mighty wind, filling all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Romans 15-16
Open Heaven For Today 2023 MESSAGE
The power of God does not come cheap. I remember asking God to give me the ability to work miracles, and He answered, "Start where Jesus started." I was excited, thinking I would repeat Jesus' first miracle until the Lord pointed Matthew 4:2 out to me – where Jesus started with forty days of fasting and prayers. If you want power from God Almighty, you must be ready to conquer your flesh. When you are ruled by the Spirit, not the meat, God can trust you with power. If you can get addicted to fasting, prayer, studying the Bible, and holiness, then you are a candidate that God can consider for the possession of divine power. When I talk about purity and living above sin as one of my significant secrets of energy, some people think I am only legalistic. Still, when you read Hebrews 1:9, you will see that you must love righteousness and hate iniquity for God to anoint you.
Apostle Paul said in (1 Corinthians 9:27) that he put his body under subjection. He also said that he fasted often (2 Corinthians 11:27). What was the result of all these? Acts 19:11-12 says that when demons saw his handkerchiefs, they ran; that is power. When fasting and emphasizing holiness daily, I know what I am doing. I am seeing the results in my life, so I will not stop. Several years ago, the Full Gospel Businessmen's Fellowship International invited me to preach on 'The New Anointing.' I had to sneak into the car when I finished speaking because everybody wanted to touch me. A man was running after me with a handkerchief in his hand. Fortunately, he reached the car and rubbed his clothes on it before I drove off. Back at home, there was a little girl who was so demon-possessed that it took six men to hold her down. He arrived on the scene, touched the girl with the handkerchief, and she became normal again.
If you want this type of power, you must be willing to pay the price. You must learn to put your flesh under subjection, and God will give you the ability to do great things for Him.
KEY POINT:
You must start minding spiritual things above physical ones if you want the power of God in your life.
HYMN 16 – Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus, Our Blessed Redeemer!
1 Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!
Sing, O earth, His incredible love proclaim!
Hail Him! Hail Him! Highest archangels in glory,
Strength and honor give to His Holy Name!
Like a Shepherd, Jesus will guard His children,
In His arms, He carries them all day long.
O ye saints that dwell on the mountain of Zion.
Praise Him! Praise Him!
Ever in joyful song!
2 Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!
For our sins, He suffered and bled and died;
He, our rock, our hope of eternal salvation,
Hail Him! Hail Him! Jesus the Crucified!
Loving Saviour, meekly enduring sorrow,
Crowned with thorns that cruelly pierced His brow;
Once for us rejected, despised, and forsaken.
Prince of Glory, ever triumphant now.
3 Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!
Heav'nly portals loud with Hosanna's ring!
Jesus, the Saviour, reigneth forever and ever;
Crown Him! Crown Him! Prophet, and Priest, and King!
Death is vanquished! Tell it with joy, ye faithful.
Where is now thy victory, boasting grave?
Jesus lives! No longer thy portals are cheerless,
Jesus lives, the mighty and strong to save.
