Pick A Side Part 4_ Secrets of Power
Pick a Side Part 4- (Secrets of Power)
So last time we discussed on how you can loose power by loosing sustaining (legacy) power above all, loosing presence, control, authority, wisdom and gifting. We established the grave consequences of loosing these levels of power such as death and eternal damnation, lose of influence, fear, doubt, frustrations, poverty and grief, now lets see how to restore the power you lost and operate in all levels of power without loosing your self in the process through the authentic power and why.
Joshua 24:15
... choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. (ESV)
Many times, our senses are ruled by our emotions and we tend to make decisions based on how we feel. Well it's alright if you know where you're headed and if you're operating in a higher realm. But what happens when you loose the direction, the zeal, the energy, the force and the aunction to function?
How do you restore power?
There is only one way that guarantees a lasting, sustaining source of power that is effective and comprehensive (includes all types of power combined), even after you've lost them all: The Authentic Source of Power! So pick your side. Whichever side you're on be strong and unwavering on that side because the end is NEAR!
Rev 22:10-12
…10 Then he told me, “Do not seal up the words of prophecy in this book, because the time is near.
11 Let the unrighteous continue to be unrighteous,and the vile continue to be vile;let the righteous continue to practice righteousness, and the holy continue to be holy.”
12“Behold, I am coming soon, and My reward is with Me, to give to each one according to what he has done.…
Colossians 1: 9-14 For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives,
10 so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,
11 being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience,
12 and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light.
13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,
14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Why is it the most authentic source of power?
This is the only type of power that was able to raise the dead after 3 days and is the only power that exists in Heaven.
Ephesians 1:19-20 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength
20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms
Why can we rely on this type of power source to restore our lost power?
It is the only type of power that can accomodate the weak, the poor, the foolish. All others look for strong candidates and wise ones, selective in choosing who gets levels of authority but the Authentic source gives to all freely, is not a respecter of persons and gives power to all even the undeserved.
1 Corinthians 1: 24-28 24but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.25For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.26Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.27But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.28God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are
2 Corinthians 12: 7-10 7or because of these surpassingly great revelations. Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me.8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
How can you receive Authentic Power?
Authentic Power comes from the Holy Spirit. All you need to do is after you have been called (accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior) you need to ask and patiently wait in meditation and prayer and His Spirit will fill you up.
Acts 1: 8a 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you...
Luke 1:35a 35The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.
2 Tim 1:7 7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
1 Cor 6:14 14By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also.
Isiah 40: 29-31 29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
How do you use Authentic Power?
- It is literally a force for good. You cannot use Authentic Power for evil, it will not work.
Eph. 6: 12 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
- You also have to use it for God's Glory and not any other ulterior motives, it will destroy you.
1 Cor 10: 31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.” All honor and glory rightfully belong to God alone, for, without Him, we are nothing and we cannot do anything
James 4:2-3 Yet, you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it. And even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong—you want only what will give you pleasure.
- You must use it with expectant faith, humility, boldness, love and in obedience to His word otherwise it will be taken away from you.
Phillipians 2:5-8, Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, He humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
Luke 17:6, If you had faith like a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea’; and it would obey you.
1 Cor. 13:13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
That's all we have time for here. Look out for Pick A Side Book next year.
Next blog will be Mind over Matter- (How to think on these things)
