The Secret of God’s Power Today

Because of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit brings freedom and power today. The secret to the power of God is the person of the Holy Spirit! The Holy Spirit is the One who gives you: The power to live a life that pleases God: “That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God” (Colossians 1:10). The power to know the truth: “And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged” (John 16:8-11). The power to be free from sin’s dominion: “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death” (Romans 8:2). The power to be strengthened in the inner man: “That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man” (Ephesians 3:16). Paul also tells us that when we are led by the Holy Spirit, we will pray correctly: “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered” (Romans 8:26). When you are led by the Holy Spirit, your prayer life will be powerful, not chaotic. With the Holy Spirit, we have full provision. Without Him, we have no guidance or protection. We certainly cannot fight sin effectively without Him. Today, we can compare our situation with what happened after Pentecost. What are we lacking today? They went from being powerless, oppressed, and lacking to being filled with God’s power, strength, guidance, and direction! And today, as in the first century, the Christian life must depend upon the Holy Spirit. Only with Him in charge can you succeed. My Prayer for You It is your time for fullness and abundance! I believe that the remainder of 2012 can be your best time ever, and that means in every area of your life, including your finances. It is important to be led by God in your finances, knowing that the size of your harvest depends directly upon the size of your seed: “But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully” (2 Corinthians 9:6). As you seek to depend upon God’s power in every area of your life, why not launch out into the deep, prayerfully seek His guidance, take a step of faith with your finances, and then expect a supernatural harvest of abundance in your life and business? Nothing touches God’s heart like your giving toward the Gospel. Remember this promise from God’s blessed Word: “Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine” (Proverbs 3:9-10). Sow your most generous financial seed so multitudes can hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As you do, remember our Father’s glorious promise to give you seed and multiply that seed as you sow it. I am eager to hear from you very soon, and I pray that your gift will bring lost souls to the cross. At the same time, I pray that your seed-gift will be multiplied into a vast harvest of financial blessings in your own life, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ! This is your year for answered prayer! As you finish the year strong, seek to be led by Him in every area of your life, including your finances. For we know it is “not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts” (Zechariah 4:6)… Preaching the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ, teaching the unchanging Word of God, and expecting the mighty and miraculous power of the Holy Spirit,
