His Manifested Power 1 Corinthians 2:4-5 4) And my speech & my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit & of power, 5) that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. Let us set our sights high & refuse the tradition of men. Set our goals higher into the wisdom of God. How can the human wisdom come even close to the power of God's wisdom. It doesn't even come close. The power & wisdom of God, it is sent through the Holy Spirit. For us to have Gods manifested of His power, His wisdom than we should be baptized in the Holy Spirit. I know people say that being baptized in the Holy Spirit isn't for today. Some even goes as far saying that being baptized of the Holy Spirit is satan because it is all emotional. No, it is not emotional; it is of God & IN HIS POWER, it is the One whom Christ said that He must go for the Holy Spirit to come & be our helper!! It is like regular baptism where you die to self & raise up & be a new creature in Christ. That being baptised in the Holy Spirit is where God gives you His power to use. This is a manifestion of God's Power in our life. It gives us a boldness, power of God, We need to quit having a low standard of us be Christians. We put Him on, on the outside of ourselves just doing What Would Jesus Do (WWJD), We need Him on our inside!! We perform the kind deeds, that Jesus did. Did we do it out of Love out of the boldness of God's power inside us. The secret of Christianity is not in the doing, it's in the being, A possessor of the nature of Jesus Christ. We need to be Christ in character, demonstration, & the agency of transmission. Now when a man gives His life to Jesus Christ/God & becomes a child of God, a Christian is a CHRIST-Man. Everything he says, or do; should be done, as coming forth as Jesus Chirst. You become as Christ both inside & outside. Not just the outware but doing the Manifested Power of God. God's Will. Letting the Holy Spirit to fully baptized you in the power that Jesus had to leave for. That we can have this power. One of the secrets of God's power is to abide in the perfect leading of the Holy Spirit. Walking in God's power will bring victory and jealousy of others. As the jealous people will want that victory, that power of God!! Walk in the perfect Love, Power, & being of God!! Doing the Lord's Supper is the reinactment of Christ's last supper. We follow this but, we really need to know the meaning that Christ had done. Matthew 26:26-29 26) And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed it & broke it, & gave it to the disciples & said, "Take, eat; this is My body." 27) Then He took the cup, & gave thanks, & gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you." 28) "For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29) "But I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's Kingdom." We are taking in Christ when we do this!! Jesus has sanctified the church, The church is you & me!! So, we are sanctified in the covenant of the Manifested Power of God. Luke 24:49 "Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power on high." Acts 1:8 "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; & you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, & in all Judea & Samaria, & to the end of the earth". How can the nature of man be changed except that nature is first revealed? The heart of man must first be purged by holy fire & washed from every stain by cleasing blood. So there arises in the heart the desire & prayer for the Spirit of God to eject, Crucify, & destroy every tendency of opposition to the Holy Spirit. He who would understand the ways of God must trust the Spirit's power to guide & keep. The working of the Spirits's power answer that attainment of him who overcomes. In him the joy & power of God shall be. Through him the healing streams of life shall flow. We should be baptized in the Holy Spirit & speak with tongues. For the edifcation of the church & one self as Christ has lead us to. AMEN & AMEN, So Be It. Rev. Londa Picard
