The Church Of God, Church Of Power And Authority!

God is calling His Church back to a position of power and authority. The Holy Ghost inhabits the Body Of Christ with all the power of the Father and the Son. He has already infused His Church with all the authority of the risen Son of God, Jesus our Christ! There is no need for churches who are seeking and following the leading of the Holy Spirit to back away from any challenge they may face. In fact, we all should embrace the commission of Christ and rush into the conflict for the salvation of lost souls. (see Matt. 16:17-19)

Spiritual darkness is so intense in our world that evil runs rampant. Sin and wickedness are out of control! We know by the Word of God that evil men will grow progressively worse! 2 Tim. 3:10, “But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;” Evil hides in the darkness. He thinks he is safe without the presence of Light. However, there is Light, “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid,” Matt. 5:14. The Body of Christ is that Light set on the hill as she reflects the Light of Jesus Christ. The Light of Christ is the Truth of the Gospel that He taught in Word and deed.

God's promise of victory and protection has always been to the obedient. Christ has promised victory and protection for His Church. However, in recent years, through a gradual process of letting the Truth slip away, churches have opened the door for carnal ideals and man-made theology. In a calculated effort to assimilate people into their congregations, compromise has taken the place of Truth. The result has been growing the numbers of church participation at the cost of losing God's favor and anointing. As a result, many churches have become spiritually powerless and ineffective. Satan has taken advantage of this powerlessness replacing the anointing of the Holy Ghost with the power of the darkness of this world. He has infiltrated our worship, our praying, and our preaching. He has come into our religious activities and had his way.

It’s time to show Satan the door, the way out. It’s time that he understands that he is not welcome in our churches. The way out for him is by the power and authority of the Holy Ghost. Oh, let the Spirit of God have control and He will put the enemy in his place. His place is eternal damnation! Rev. 20:10, “And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.” The Church Of God, Church Of Power And Authority!
