POWER TO CREATE

In 2017 I read a book The Fourth Dimension by Pastor Paul Yonggi Cho. It impacted my life a lot. I did not like reading books about the Bible. I preferred to read the Bible. The fact that I am a slow reader does not help either. 

There is a passage that I found very hard to understand. 

Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods” ’? John 10:34

I am sure there is only one God. I could not be a God. Little or otherwise. As I read I understood that I have the power to create in me. That power came from God's breath in me;

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. Genesis 2:7

Unfortunately it took the church a long time to understand that we have  the power of God through the breath He gave us. People struggle with this. But there are many unsaved who have already come to understand this. They use this power to do works that look like miracles. They access the power of God but do not give Him the credit.

As a Christian we have power given to us and we have authority. Authority comes from Jesus; 

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 1 Corinthian 3:16

And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.” 2 Corinthians 6:6

Authority through Christ sets us apart. Because we are saved, God dwells in us. He gives us permission to use the name of Jesus to ask anything; 

You did not choose Me, but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit--fruit that will remain--so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you. John 15:16

The fruit we bear are the works we do in Jesus name. It is to give credit to Him. We glorify His name. 

When we have a meeting to attend we pray. We have power to control that meeting. Before you enter the room, ask God to enter the room in front of you. Ask Him to take control of the meeting. Ask that His will be done and state your case to Him. Command the atmosphere and how the meeting should go in Jesus name.

Be careful that you do not manipulate. That is different. You are speaking to God and using authority in Christ. See it the way He would see it or want it. Keep this as your context. 

I pray that you learn to use the power and authority you have in Jesus name. I pray you learn to see things the way God sees it in Jesus name.

If you have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour you may say this prayer;

Dear Heavenly Father,

I ask you to forgive my sins in knowledge or ignorance. Please forgive me. I accept Jesus as my Saviour. I ask that Jesus comes into my life as I live to be a witness for Him. Please change my life and make me into the person you want me to be, in Jesus name I pray. Thank you.
