The Power Trinity

The Power Trinity

Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

 I don't think I'm going to be able to finish this today, but this is what I am hearing the Holy Spirit saying to us.

F. A. A. -   The Power Trinity

                 Faith, Anointing, Authority.

If I were to ask you today... how many want to have a more effective Christian Life? 

If I were to ask how many want to have more power in your life as a Christian?

If I were to ask how many want to see more manifestation of the power of God in your life?

If I were to ask how many want to lay your hands on the sick see them recover?

If I were to ask how many want to know that when you tell the devil to get out he has to go? 

If I were to ask these questions today, how many would say by an uplifted hand, you're talking to me?

Well I am asking you these questions today, and while I am asking these questions of you I am also asking them of myself. 

I can't speak for everyone, but I can certainly speak for myself I want the full measure, full manifestation, of the power of God that is available to me.

In other words if God has revealed it in the Bible to be to me, then I want it.

Something that stirs me, and concerns me, and should concern all of us, is when we look in the Bible and we see such a great disparity, from what God describes as the normal Christian Life, in comparison and contrast to what we call the normal Christian Life.

When I look in the Bible, I see as the normal Christian Life... Healing The Sick, cleansing the lepers, and casting out devils.

In the Bible I see as the normal Christian Life, setting the captives free, opening blinded eyes, unstopping deaf ears, Yoke's being destroyed, bondages, habits and addictions, an evil desires being destroyed, and prisoners being set free.

Now I know this is a little scary, this is reaching out there a little bit, but I have to ask you isn't that what you see in the Bible when you read it?

Isn't that what it says? Am I being true to the scriptures when I say these things?

Just because the scriptures challenge us, and they show us where we are falling short, doesn't mean that we should ignore them, or that we should set them aside as unreachable, and unattainable.

On the contrary...

It should stir us up. 

It should fire us up.

It should challenge us.

It should convict us.

It should make us want to reach, and stretch, and get a hold of what belongs to us.

What would make us settle for less than God's best?

Why would we settle for less Joy?

For less peace?

For less prosperity?

For less power?

Paul talked about a life that was ever reaching, ever stretching, ever pressing. Never satisfied

To many believers that is a strange concept, because so many have become comfortable, and adjusted, and very satisfied right where they are.

One of the greatest operations of the word of God, and the power of the Holy Spirit, is to stir up within the hearts of God's people, a passion, a hunger, a thirst, and the desire to go farther, to rise higher, to dive deeper, and to experience the power and the glory of God in ever-increasing fashion.

One of the saddest things that can ever happen to a saint, or body of believers, is to reach the level of comfort, and to become satisfied and adjusted.

Satisfied is a dangerous place, because it's right next door to petrified.

I never want to live the land of satisfied. Thankful, grateful, appreciative, yes, a thousand times yes. I can never fully express my thankfulness and my gratitude, and my appreciation for what God has done in my life. For where God has brought me from. And for where God has put me, I am so thankful.

But I am not satisfied. As a matter of fact I have within my heart, and within my soul a divine dissatisfaction, that has been planted there by the Holy Spirit.

If you allow the Holy Spirit to have his way in your life, he will always plant within your spirit, and within your soul, a divine dissatisfaction. A pressing, a hunger, a passion, and the desire to see more, and to be more.
