STILL PREACHIN
Stanley Hamilton
(Eph. 2:6 NIV) "And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus."
God has already given (past tense) the believer a position of authority in heavenly realms. The spirit world recognizes this position, even if Christians fail to. In Acts 19:14, several men tried to cast a demon from a man. They commanded the demon to leave, in the name of " Jesus, WHOM PAUL PREACHED! They had no personal relationship with Jesus. The demons said, "Jesus we know, and Paul we know, but who are you?" They recognized Paul's positional relationship to Christ. They attacked the men!
The spirit world is aware of the authority of every Christian. That authority is given by Jesus, and backed up by the Holy Spirit, and the promises of The Father!
God has given us the weapon of prayer, and the power to bring down strongholds and even move mountains to those who believe. With all that God has provided, why do Christians walk like powerless milksops through this world, instead of the conquerorsthe bible calls us? Why has this world been given over to satan? God gave the Christian POSITION AND POWER to make a difference in the world, for Him.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR POSITION AND POWER?
