The Demonstration Of Power.

Thursday, May 15th .
Pastor Chris

And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's
wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power (1 Corinthians 2:4).

The tremendous miracles, signs, and
wonders performed by Jesus and the
apostles weren't chronicled in the
Bible for us just so we could read and
be duly informed of what they did.
They're to inspire us and to know we
can do the same in our day through
the power of the same Spirit .
Some Christians only read their Bibles,
teach, preach, sing, pray, without
more. Doubtless, Christianity
transcends all that. You've got to have
the manifestation of power in your life!
The Bible says the Kingdom of God is
not in words only, but in power also (1
Corinthians 4:20). Paul said, “I didn't
come with words of man's wisdom, but
in the demonstration of the Spirit and
of power; that your faith shouldn't
stand in the wisdom of men but in the
power of God” (1 Corinthians 2:4-5).
As you get more acquainted with the
Spirit through fellowship, His power
will be awesomely manifested in your
life. Often, before I minister, I wait for
the anointing of the Spirit to come on
me. When it does, I know that
something has happened. Sometimes,
when I'm praying, I can tell it's not
just me moving, but the power of the
Holy Ghost moving me. I can tell He
wants to lay hands through me and do
mighty things through me.
The question is: How much do you
want the power of the Spirit to be
demonstrated in your life? It's about
your hunger for Him; your passion for
the anointing to be manifested in your
life! Remember, He’s Boss, so we don’t
shake Him up to get Him to do things.
Instead, we prepare for Him. The Bible
says if you’re a vessel that's prepared,
you'll be ready and fit for the Master’s
use (2 Timothy 2:21); He'll continually
demonstrate His power: His
righteousness, grace and love through
you!
PRAYER
Dear Holy Spirit, I recognize your
presence and authority in my life;
thank you for making me an able
minister of the Gospel—a dispenser of
eternal verities—in the demonstration
of the Spirit of power! Thank you for
making me sufficient in your sufficiency
to preach the unsearchable riches,
graces, and wisdom of Christ, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.

Matthew 28:18-19 And
Jesus came and spake unto them,
saying, All power is given unto me in
heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye
therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Acts 14:8-11 And there sat a certain
man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked: 9 The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he
had faith to be healed, 10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet.
And he leaped and walked. 11 And when the people saw what Paul had
done, they lifted up their voices, saying
in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are
come down to us in the likeness of men.
