Your Power

Today’s Focus: Your Power
Scripture: Matthew 9:1-8

Greetings Kingdom Citizens
In the last message we talked about the difference between the Son of Man and the Son of God. In this set of scriptures, Jesus reveals a secret to the scribes that after this message, I pray it changes the views about the true power and potential you have. The secret is found in verse 6. Jesus says “ye may know that the Son of Man hath power on Earth to forgive sins”. This is very very loaded so let’s break it down.

First, in order for any spirit to operate or have dominion on Earth, it has to have a body. That is why your true self is inside your fleshly body. That is why your body is a house or a temple for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Now, since God is Holy and He gave His children authority over the Earth, the only person who has authority in the Earth are God’s children or mankind. So the only way Jesus could operate or have authority on Earth, is that He is a man. So that is why He calls Himself the Son of Man. God needs man’s permission to intervene on Earth because He is Holy and have to abide by the rules He set. So the only way God can intervene is through prayer and intervention. So in actuality, through the power of the Holy Spirit you have power on Earth to do the Will of the Father.

Finally look at verse 8! The people marveled at what power God has given to men. Funny, they actually marveled and thought the exact right thing, but the problem is over long-term did many of them believe it? Sad, some wonders happen right before our eyes and we will not give God His credit. We have power on Earth and I have experienced it and have seen it. Now, it is your choice whether you want to think you are powerless but God wants His children to use the power He has given us and to do His Will. Now the next statement may shock you or maybe it will not, but it is meant for you to stop thinking religious and think Kingdom.

God gave you power on Earth, when you die and go to Heaven, you have no authority or power there!

In other words, have fun, live good and do the Will of God and be the leader God knows you are and set the standard for the Word to show, Jesus Lives! Once you die, it is over until Jesus returns and the New Earth comes down. God wants you to have fun, but He also wants you to put Him first. You have power, use it!!!
