« I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power »
Read Romans 8:10-14NKJV
10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
When Apostle Paul said that he wanted to know the power of His resurrection in Philippians 3:10,
he was saying that he wanted to know the power that raised Jesus from the dead.
There is a power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead.
- That power, according to Romans 8:11, is the power of the Holy Spirit,
the power that can quicken your mortal body.
That power is still available to the children of God even after Jesus Christ died, rose, and went to heaven.
It is a great thing to be baptised in the Holy Spirit.
However, there is an experience and encounter that goes far beyond being baptised in the Holy Spirit.
When you are baptised in the Holy Spirit, you speak in tongues, but speaking in tongues is not enough; you need to be baptised by fire too.
Speaking in tongues is wonderful, and I encourage it, but you can’t go to some nations, get into their marketplaces, and start speaking in tongues and think you will win souls for Christ;
you might lose your head or spend the rest of your life in prison!
You need the fire of the Holy Ghost.
- Whether you believe it or not, every force that is in heaven, on earth, or underneath the earth, is subject to that power that raised Jesus from the dead.
This is why the world fears Pentecostalism.
If there was one dead fellow that the devil did not want to rise, it was Jesus Christ, because he knew that if Jesus rose from the dead, he was finished.
However, that power that raised Jesus from the dead was so powerful that with all the things that the devil tried in Matthew 27:62-66, Jesus still rose from the dead.
He is higher than all principalities and powers, and His rising from the dead opened the door for you and me to also be higher than them. Ephesians 2:6CEV says
« God raised us from death to life with Christ Jesus, and He has given us a place beside Christ in heaven »
The scripture shows clearly that believers in Jesus Christ are now seated with Him in heavenly places.
Once you know that power that raised Jesus from the dead, no witch, wizard, demon, or principality will be able to overcome you.
You will begin to command demons, and they will obey speedily.
If you want to know that power, pray today’s prayer point with all your heart.
Prayer focus – Lord, baptize me with the Holy Spirit and fire. Please let me know that power that raised You from the dead.
