Weekend's been uber cool! LOL! I led praise during CG, well, not to my expectation cos I'm still inexperienced. Luckily the crowd wasn't too big and they were all smiley and supportive. Emphasis on God rather than my blunders and errors. Praises be to God!
Zoe's word on the things unseen and seen, how to give birth to things in the seen world from the unseen, certainly made a stand in all of our lives. At times when we feel that our friends are actually not interested at all, we should think of how and what we can do instead. Transforming the present situation to something we would love to see.
We as Christians have the "keys" and this is the authority to bind and loose in Heaven. What we allow, will manifest. What we don't, diminish. Simple but will we remember this in times of need? To shut things that are bad and put a stop to it. To allow God's ways to manifest in our lives. Will we?
3 basic truths that we should know and they are..
1) We are responsible for the condition of our environment.
2) They key to change is in our hands.
3) We bind and loose through our prayers. ( read Matthew 18: 18-19 )
For truth number 3, we emphasize on verse 19. I'm sure all of you know this verse. In order for prayers to be powerful and be a medium of intercession, 2 or 3 must come together in agreement. So, let's not neglect the power of group prayers from this year onwards, yea?
So, since we are equipped with the authority, what can we do with it? Of course we can bring revival! But how? We need to understand that we are the Agents of Change. The deciding factor for revival to happen? That's Us. We must take ownership of our lives, not be victims of circumstances. God has empowered us with the authority and it's now up to us to make things happen. Are you on the cutting edge? =)
With the authority given from God, we can use it on 7 areas in our lives, friends' and family members' lives.
1) Health
2) Ability ( Gifts & talents )
3) Relationships
4) Vision ( Dreams and Goals )
5) Emotional Life
6) Spiritual Life
7) Thought Life
7 areas brings us Harvest. Use the authority entrusted to you on people's lives around you. Harvest shall be brought in.
Oh yes, to end it off, let's all remember what Rev. Dr. A.R Bernard said yesterday.
We are the authority, the power. Not just a representation or saying "I have power." But without the Holy Spirit, none could ever correctly represent Jesus. Other people are caught up in religious ties, but we don't. We have a relationship with God, like close friends. When we have the Holy Spirit, we can then correctly bring Jesus to the unsaved.
