New Posting!!!!!!!
Todays church is ineffective, I don't need to be physically there to see and understand this. All over the world today where bearers of the Gospel are, they are addressing that the church today is ineffective. They say how the power of God is rarely seen, miracles are not taken place, healings are not received, transformed lives are not happening. The Holy Spirit has left us. The truth of the matter is we have replaced the power of Jesus with our word and not the Word of God.
In the New Testament of the Word, there was a woman who had a sick child, that would eventually die if the child was not healed. She took her child to the disciples where they laid hands on the child and prayed healing for the child. Nothing happened! absolutely nothing happened. How was it that the disciples who were hand picked by Jesus not able to do the works of the Father the way he did and more the way he promised? The woman approached Jesus and he saw and knew her worries. Jesus asked her why is she troubled? She replied saying that her child is sick and would eventually die! Jesus told her to take her child to the disciples so they could lay hands on the child and receive healing. The woman said, she did that but nothing happened. Jesus saw that the woman who once believed in him doubted and had lack of faith in him because of the lack of power represented by the church his disciples. Jesus told her to bring the child to him and she did and he healed the child, and her faith in him was restored because she saw and received the power directly from Jesus. When the disciples saw this they were amazed, and said to Jesus, what was it that you did that we didn't, since we did the very same thing that you have done, yet she was healed by your hands and not by ours. Jesus simply told them that there lack of faith and unbelief in the power was the reason.
In another section of the New Testament there were sorcerers and practicer's of witchcraft who knew the power of God and were able to preform great things in that power, but for illegitimate gain. These individuals were making money and profits of gain from the results of the power in the name of Jesus. How was it that these individuals who represented the world able to do great things and how were they able to release the power that the disciples who represented the church were not able to. How?
Lack of faith and unbelief. We are living in a day and age where love amongst us as a people is null and void. Because of this we are separated as a people, and that wont change until you receive the love of God thru his son Jesus. I know, you are probably saying, oh he is a fanatic, Christian. I know, you are probably saying what does Jesus have to do with this? I know, you are probably saying, they all say the same thing. But, this is a blog where I will not compromise the truth of Jesus and how all things are held together by him. My job is not to see who is telling the better truth, nor is it my job to force you to believe what I believe. My job is just to share the good news of the Gospel in a way that can be understood. The only way I can do that is to tell the truth and because Jesus is truth thats always the best place to start. Everything I speak about can be found in the Word of God. If its not in the Word of God, I will not speak about it. I also want to make it loud and clear, that I will stand corrected by the Word of God, for as long as it is the Word of God I am being corrected with. If I dont understand it, I wont speak about it until I fully comprehend it. Otherwise, I speak the Word of God as precisely as it was written. That is why the truth hurts sometimes, sometimes it hurts real bad because it speaks to a part of us that leads us to conviction. The truth makes us uncomfortable sometimes, especially when it applies to us as individuals personally. The truth also sets us free. Some of us can handle the truth, some of us cannot.
That truth is Jesus, and the power of God is in the name of Jesus. Its the name that is above all names.
Behold, Jesus Christ is coming, are you ready?
