I have made this my scripture my prayer to speak over anyone in trouble, when I see a car accident, hear sirens, see a passing ambulance, I stop and pray this prayer. Yet, all the while the depths of this scripture did not hit me until this morning...
..."some who are standing here will not taste death before/until they see that the kingdom of God has come with POWER!!!!"
As I opened up my Bible, I stared at those words, "until the KINGDOM OF GOD HAS COME WITH POWER!"
Out of all those that I had prayed for, all of those in trouble, all of those in need, how many truly understood THE POWER - the healing POWER, the rescuing POWER, the resurrecting POWER of the ALMIGHTY GOD?
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say, "Maybe 1%?"
How could this be so? When did our world become so dependent on this "natural system"- 911 calls, ambulances, emergency rooms, doctor visits, diagnostic testings, surgical intervention..." The people of this world have been investing in a system that is failing.
Why had they not invested in God and His power, the ONE who NEVER fails?
I began to realize, how much WE are to blame....it is not God who has failed the people of this world, it is us, His Children, His Kingdom carriers, the ones who KNOW His Power, His love, His magnitude.
The scripture says "For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. " (Romans 8:19 NIV)
WHY?
"so that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God." (Romans 8:21 NIV)
It is
OUR DUTY,
OUR CALLING
As KINGDOM carriers, who truly understand the POWER of the living God.
Those of us who understand His
POWER to heal,
POWER to save,
POWER to set free,
POWER to resurrect.
We have been chosen
TO REVEAL
This POWER to the dying, hurting world around us.
"For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. (1 Corinthians 4:20 KJV)
While we may have retained our gifts quietely, afraid of what the world may think, afraid of what others may say, people of this world have carelessly passed away, struggle aimlessly, reaching, grasping for anything that could bring them hope.
We must say, "NO MORE!"
IT IS TIME
To manifest God's Power on this earth!
IT IS TIME
To become God conscious and no longer, self conscious.
IT IS TIME
to look outside of ourselves and see who and where we are needed.
We are coming into a time,
AN OPPORTUNITY to REDEEM ALL THAT HAS BEEN LOST!
A time to be TRANSFIGURED!
A time to be AS JESUS IS!
A time to establish God's KINGDOM IN THIS EARTH!
A time to manifest God's GLORY!
A time for the next AWAKENING!
"After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone.
There he was transfigured before them. His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them." (Mark 9:1-3 NIV)
