RELEASING THE POWER OF THE GOSPEL.

Hebrews 4:12

The Word of God is powerful. 
Romans 1:16
The gospel of Jesus Christ can release us from bondage, set us free from sin, release God's blessings and empower us for success.
This means the Word of God has power!
It takes power to release people and set them free!

As simple as the Word of God is, it is powerful.
The Word of God is simple.
The new testament doctrine is simple. 
2 Corinthians 11:3
Jesus made it simple.
The simplicity of the gospel makes our devotion sincere and pure.
It is simple because it is about grace, faith and truth.
It is simple because there are no animal sacrifices, shedding of blood and old testament rituals.
It is simple because it doesn't require endless genealogies and fables.
It is simple because you don't need to do a load of research or engage in complex processes to receive salvation.

Receiving Christ is a simple, straight forward process.
All it involves is hearing and believing, taking and accepting God's Word as it is.
The Christian walk is simply allowing Christ to live His life through you.
The power in God's Word comes from God's Spirit.
The power to live an effective Christian life is supplied by God's Spirit. 
Luke 1:35

You do not have to look far for power.
All you have to do is look in the right direction.
When we receive the Word of God, power is released for our deliverance. 
Psalm 107:20
This happens because the Word of God and the Holy Spirit agree. 
1 John 5:8

When we add to the gospel, it is no longer the gospel.
When we subtract from the gospel, it is no longer the gospel.
 Revelations 22:18,19
This is why God frowns at 'another gospel'.
Another gospel is a perversion of the Word of God.
It is God's Word that has been taken from or added to.
 Galatians 1:8

When we depart from the gospel as it has been given, it loses it's power.
If we are going to return to the power of the gospel once again like we read about in Acts and as we see with the Apostles we have to accept it and teach it in it's simplicity.
The Holy Spirit knows the true Word of God.
The Holy Spirit will not supply His power to any preaching or teaching that He doesn't recognize.

How to know the true Word of God:
a) If it is the true Word of God, power will follow it.
 Mark 16:20
b) If it is the true Word of God, it will bring joy most times. 
Acts 8:4-8
c) If it is the true Word of God, it will build people up.
It will offer hope and help people.
 Acts 20:32
d) If it is the true Word of God, it will correct people. 
2 Timothy 3:16
e) If it is the true Word of God, it will enlighten people.
 John 8:12
f) If it is the true Word of God people will be edified by it.
 Romans 14:19

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
