    Last week we spoke of the gospel or thegood news of Jesus Christ. Our oneliner stated We have good news.The Church is the barrier betweenthe end of the age and the gospelbeing presented to the world.

    We now know that man has failed tobecome autonomous, he cant

    rationalize his existence, purpose ordestiny without the only point ofbeginning that is reasonable. We havebeen created for Gods Glory and to

    enjoy fellowship with Him as we obey.

    We have the answers for thehopeless, and the value ofhumanity in the Gospel. The spirit

    of the world has permeated oursociety leaving them in a quandaryin relation to what is going to

    happen next? There is only one way out and one

    door to access that way. Jesus

    said, I am the door

    Would someone get the door?

    The Church can act as a restraint ifwe fulfill our calling to the Gospel.

    Historical evidence tells us that Godis willing to extend judgment if ageneration will turn to Him.

    Abraham had the power to defer thejudgment of God on Sodom andGomorrah if righteousness could be

    foundA prophetic cry in Revelation 18

    speaks to all those who have been

    intoxicated from the Mother of AllHarlots, and from whom theevolution of many false doctrines

    have arisen.

    We must have this attitude towardthis system and toward the Gospel.

    We have prophesied that the Gospelis inseparably linked to the powerof God. Unless we take the Gospelof the Kingdom to the our world

    then the power of God remainsdormant.

    Power is defined as Dunamis and Exousia, one is that which manifest Gods power, the oth

    Matthew 10:1And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him,He gave them power over unclean spirits, to castthem out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and allkinds of disease.

    Romans 1:16For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it

    is the power of God to salvation for everyone whobelieves, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

    Who will spy out the land in ourgeneration?

    Hebrews 6:4-6 (New King James

    Version)

    4 For it is impossible for those who wereonce enlightened, and have tastedthe heavenly gift, and have become

    partakers of the Holy Spirit,5

    andhave tasted the good word of God andthe powers of the age to come, 6 ifthey fall away,[a] to renew them againto repentance, since they crucifyagain for themselves the Son of God,

    Land that drinks in the rain often fallingon it and that produces a crop usefulto those for whom it is farmed

    receives the blessing of God. 8 Butland that produces thorns and thistlesis worthless and is in danger of beingcursed. In the end it will be burned.

    9 Even though we speak like this, dearfriends, we are convinced of betterthings in your casethe things that

    have to do with salvation. Hebrews 6

    We must return with a good report, wemust take this taste that God hasgiven us of His glory and publicize it

    in our world. We cant go back,we dont have to gobackward

    You see where right back where we

    started, we must produce fruit. If wewant the rain, we must

    produce the fruit that the rain

    You see we have been trying to counton us, one of the purposes ofwriting this book was to insure that

    the readers understood that Hewho has began this work in us, willbe able to perform it until its

    completion. Listen to this, this is how committed

    God is to this program.

    13For when God made promise to

    Abraham, because he could swear byno greater, he sware by himself,

    14Saying, Surely blessing I will bless

    thee, and multiplying I will multiplythee.

    15And so, after he had patiently

    endured, he obtained the promise. 16For men verily swear by the greater:

    and an oath for confirmation is tothem an end of all strife.

  • 8/7/2019 The Church Part 9

    15/22

    17Wherein God, willing more abundantly toshew unto the heirs of promise theimmutability of his counsel, confirmed it byan oath:

    18

    That by two immutable things, in which it wasimpossible for God to lie, we might have astrong consolation, who have fled for refugeto lay hold upon the hope set before us:

    19Which hope we have as an anchor of the

    soul, both sure and stedfast, and whichentereth into that within the veil;

    20Whither the forerunner is for us entered,even Jesus, made an high priest for ever afterthe order of Melchisedec.

    This is why I want you to plan onwinning every race Power.

    What two immutable things.

    Oath or Promise. Person (JesusChrist)

    When God says Blessing, I will blessyou, and Multiplying, I will multiplyyou, He wasnt kidding This iswhy we must experience this

    power

    Psalm 2

    7I will declare the decree: the LORDhath said unto me, Thou art mySon; this day have I begotten thee.

    Psalm 110 2The LORD shall send therod of thy strength out of Zion: rulethou in the midst of thine enemies.

    3Thy people shall be willing in the dayof thy power, in the beauties ofholiness from the womb of themorning: thou hast the dew of thyyouth.

    4The LORD hath sworn, and will notrepent, Thou art a priest for ever after

    the order of Melchizedek.

    This power has been sealed by theOath and Promise of God in thePerson of Jesus..

    How do we know that Jesus madeit.. Because we have tarried andnow the Holy Ghost has arrived, it

    says to me every day that Jesusmade it, and now I have power.

    The Holy Spirit is here because Jesus

    is in Heaven..

    Acts 4:7And when they had set them in the midst,they asked, By what power or by whatname have you done this?We have been delegated and authorizedby Jesus to represent him in this world. Allpower has been given to Him, He nowhas given and authorized the church to

    act as His body in His behalf. When theyask, as Pharaoh ask, Who sent you? Wehave the answer.

    Here is the news, This power is notinvisible, it is visible, you are toexercise it based on the delegated

    authority of Jesus Christ. It must bepre-empted by the Gospel.

    The power that exceeds what we could

    ask or think is present here today. It isthe witness of the race that is being

    run. It is activated by your

    report and faith in God.

    Hebrews 12

    1Wherefore seeing we also arecompassed about with so great a

    cloud of witnesses, let us lay asideevery weight, and the sin which dothso easily beset us, and let us run withpatience the race that is set before

    us, 2Looking unto Jesus the author and

    finisher of our faith; who for the joythat was set before him endured the

    cross despising the shame and is set
