UNDERSTANDING THE POWER OF GOD
Luke 5:17 AMP
One of those days, as He was teaching, there were Pharisees and teachers of the Law sitting by, who had come from every village and town of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was [present] with Him to heal them.
God is about to release the Spirit without measure in the Church, so it is necessary to have a spiritual understanding of the power of God in all wisdom.
Colossians 1:9 (MKJV)
For this cause we also, since the day we heard, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that you might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,
As Physics is the study of natural, or physical power or energy, so also in the spirit, Christianity is the study of God’s character and power: power of godliness (2 Tim. 3:5), power of protection, healing and deliverance (Act. 10:38), and the power to get wealth (Deut. 8:18).
Now, just as there are physical laws that govern the generation, release and reception of physical power, there are spiritual and moral laws that govern the generation, transmission and reception of God’s power (Rom. 8:2).
For instance, the power of God is generated by praying with the power of the Holy Spirit with tongues and travail (Act. 2:1-4; 1Kgs. 18:42-44).
The power of God is released or transmitted through words and thoughts of faith (Lk. 5:17).
The power of God is also received by words and thoughts of faith, or rejected by words and thoughts of unbelief and offense (Mk. 6:1-6).
In the natural, power can only be transmitted into a house with a working fuse. If the fuse for a particular room is blown, power will not enter that room, because the fuse is either blown or not in place at all.
Similarly, spiritually, the power of God can be released in a church service, but each individual person, like a room in the house, must have his fuse of faith activated by his thoughts and words for him to receive the power of God that has, or is being released (Lk. 5:21-26).
Let us learn and put into diligent operation these spiritual laws through prayer, faith and honesty, so we can enjoy the benefits of the power of God without measure that God is about to release in His Church!
