God
is calling us, the Body of Christ, to rise up in the power and the authority of the Holy Ghost and be the Church of the Living God. He
has embedded the Holy Ghost in His Church to empower us to finish His
Work. God is calling us to confront and engage this invasion of
darkness and evil that dares to challenge His perfect plan. However,
we must use the weapons He has given us to defeat the powers of
darkness. 2 Cor. 10:4, “For the weapons of our warfare are not
carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;
5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself
against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every
thought to the obedience of Christ;”
We
cannot win against Satan if we are walking in the flesh! As local
church congregations, we will not succeed without the leading and
anointing of the Holy Spirit. Carnality cuts our connection to
heaven. We can promote our plans and dreams but if they are not born
from the heart of God, they will not have God’s favor.
So
many churches have become social connections and financial
institutions. The Church of God should be an entity of prayer. Matt.
21:12, “And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all
them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of
the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, 13 And said
unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of
prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. 14 And the blind and
the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.” The
religious people had made the house of God a place of merchandise and
personal gain. After the commercial aspects of religion were removed,
many came to Jesus in the Temple and He healed them!
The
Holy Spirit is calling His Church to refocus on prayer. He is calling
us back to our knees for a fresh anointing of Pentecostal power that
will change the lives around us for eternity. That kind of power will
only come through intercessory prayer born out of the heart of God
and implemented by the Holy Spirit as He seeks the will of God
through us.
By
the power of Almighty God, we, the Church of the Living God, can pull
down the strongholds of Satan. He has no place to hide in the
presence of God! Darkness is illuminated by the Light of His
presence. When we come to God in faith, submission, and obedience, our
victory is assured in Jesus Christ. God wants to bring us back to His
original relationship with man where God and man walked together in
perfect peace without the influence of darkness and evil. And, that
will be the result for all who will follow Him in submission and
obedience. Time To Be The Church Of The Living God!
