Believing the Word of God causes you to not only
see great power, but also experience greater power in your
life. Believing will cause you to devote your life to the
gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. I want to bring to your
attention this great power. What IS this great power?
| How God anointed and consecrated Jesus of Nazareth
with the (Holy) Spirit and with strength and ability and power;
how He went about doing good and, in particular, curing all
who were harassed and oppressed by (the power of) the devil,
for God was with Him (Acts 10:38). |
This great power
is the Holy Spirit. The devil is a liar. He doesn’t have
power over believers, because we are not his children. We belong
to God! Why believe? Because
the great power of the Holy Spirit is available to you. The
reason the devil fights so hard to keep you from receiving
the Holy Spirit is because the great power that defeated
him, and will help you defeat him, IS the Holy Spirit.
Every born-again believer should receive and be filled
with the Holy Spirit. Jesus Himself told the disciples not
to move until they received the Holy Spirit. Consider this:
Mary, the mother of Jesus, was in that first group of onehundred-
and-twenty people who received the Holy Spirit.
Peter went from a weak brother to a mighty warrior after
receiving the infilling of the Holy Spirit. Can you see why
BELIEVE, BELIEVE,
BELIEVE the devil has tricked the Body of Christ for so long, concerning
the infilling of the Holy Spirit? A house divided
has no power. Catch this, saints (the set apart ones): We
have been fooled, but will be fooled no longer.
Why believe? Because great power awaits us to
defeat the devil each and every day. Study! Why
believe? To be set free by the Word of God. Why
believe? So you will know that you are the called-out
ones, which is the definition of the Church. We must
know who we are in Christ Jesus.
Who are Christians? The official definition is
believers in Jesus Christ, not unbelievers. To believe
you must believe all the truth—not half or three-quarters,
but ALL the truth. God is good, and all He does is
good.
Why believe? Jesus is coming back soon for his
Church—the called-out ones—and if you are in unbelief,
you can’t go with Him. If you are in unbelief, you are
an unbeliever in Jesus Christ. The Church, or calledout
ones, are believers in Jesus Christ, the Body of
Christ, Christians. Jesus is only returning for His Body.
Why believe? Only believers will return to Heaven
with Jesus. Do you want the wrath of God to fall on
you? Think about that question.
Believe what the Word of
God says to you. God gave you a choice. Believing brings victory,
power, promises,
and transportation home to Heaven for the called-out
ones. THAT IS WHY YOU SHOULD BELIEVE THE WORD OF GOD.
