John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
The Cross In Your Life
.. The proclamation – the teaching – of Jesus Christ will do it’s own work and you do not have to help Him. If you’ve determined The Cross in your life that means you’ve got out of the way, and He’s allowed to do and say exactly what He wants in and through you. We have got to focus on the great spiritual power which is The Cross. It’s energy is released into our lives and those that hear us. That energy that power which raised Christ from the cross is the power coming through you or what you say.
The Only Message
No wonder the Devil fears all of this.. tries to stop this and gets us caught up in social and political debates. We all do it – I do it at times – and I think ‘ stop Kim, that is not the message. ‘ The power lies in the cross – that’s what they need to hear. If we are to see God move in these last days as He did through Jesus and the Early Church – this is the key to it, and this is why the Devil fears because he knows he is no match for the power of God. The power of God is creative, it’s the same power with which God spoke the universe into being..
A Shared Experience
.. Look at this world this evening if the sky is clear. Look up at all those myriads of stars, that is the power that’s working in your life, my life! Let’s get this from our heads to our hearts! No wonder the enemy fears this. The bible says God has shared all things with us His Church – He’s given us the keys to The Kingdom. ‘ Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done as it is in heaven. ‘ That is the power of The Gospel, and The Gospel is The Cross of Christ and what is cost Him. That is our boasting.. .. ..
1 Corinthians 6:12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
Galatians 6:14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
Isaiah 45:22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
1Corinthians 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
1Corinthians 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
