The
Gospel of Jesus Christ is the path that God has chosen for us to go
where He is going. In fact, Jesus said in John 14:6, “… "I am
the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but
through Me.” Therefore the Gospel is the only path that will be
blessed by God and activate the power of God.
Paul
declared in Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of
Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that
believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” The original
word for “ashamed” comes from a root word which means to
disfigure or dishonor. I think what Paul was saying is that he would
not alter his presentation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. There is
the power of God for salvation and any other need we might have. If
we alter the message, we alter access to the power!
Acts
1:8, “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come
upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in
all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the
earth.” Jesus said that He would send the Holy Ghost as a
manifestation of His Power so that we could be witnesses to all the
world. But witnesses of what? The Power in itself is not the witness
Jesus spoke of. He said, “witnesses unto me.” He was talking
about the message of Good News which He had so freely shared with the
world. He was talking about the Gospel which He had taught and
modeled before men!
This
Power that Jesus talked about is to empower us to share the Gospel
with all the earth. The power of the Gospel delivers the sin-sick
soul! The power of the Gospel brings freedom to the shackled and
imprisoned! The power of the Gospel heals the wounded heart! The
Power of God delivers the soul, mind, and body!
Are
we willing to let God do the leading? Are we willing to go with God
to where He is going? There lies the key to Release The Power Of God
Within You!
