KINGDOM POWER

Last Night at Disciple College we explored God's Power which is available for Kingdom People. We were taught the importance of being Kingdom People, and how Kingdom People are called to be effective - and that means that through their lives they will be able to change situations and change lives. God will use Kingdom People to lead others into the Kingdom, to heal the sick, to raise the dead, to set captives free and so much more. Kingdom People see transformation happening, its a part of their lives. Kingdom People take authority over the enemy and do not allow him to have any hold over them. Kingdom People celebrate the Kingdom, are part of the Kingdom and are subject to The King. Kingdom People honour and bow before the King and give Him His Rightful Place. Kingdom People are committed to the things of the Kingdom - no matter what! Halleujah anyway, someone once said!

So we explored four aspects of Power which is related to earthly power, but can very much be related to our Power from The Holy Spirit:-

• Power Surge - being ready for the unexpected when God is at work among us, protecting ourselves too from opposition power, which is defeated! Its about being on fire with Gods Power

• Power Connection - connected to the right sources, plugged into God's Power and switched on. Recognising that apart from God we can do nothing.

• Power Partner - being in relationship with God and recognising who it is that gives us the Power - as Yoggi Cho once wrote in his book - The Holy Spirit.....my Senior Partner

• Power Plant - a generation of God's Power, being in the place where God is working and doing stuff - not being in the wrong place, but seeking those opportunities for God's generating power. A place where God comes upon His People and then we are sent out into communities and make a difference......

WHATEVER FORM OF POWER from GOD that You need today.... ask Him.

Seek First the Kingdom and all these things will be added unto You - Hallelujah!!!!

Finally: Envoy Val has recently reminded us of a chorus which may encourage today

With Christ in the Vessell we can smile at the storm, smile at the storm, smile at the storm,

With Christ in the Vessell we can smile at the storm, as we go sailing home.....
