National Call to Prayer

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, we are asking this question: Are you down-stream or upstream from God’s Blessings? We may NOT SEE what Almighty GOD is doing, but we KNOW that HE DID IT BEFORE, HE WILL DO IT AGAIN!

We do NOT have to be IN the places where Revival is taking place. Lots of people have made the trip to Asbury College to witness firsthand the SPIRIT of GOD moving again. They have returned with a bit of “Revival Fire” with them and started their own Praise & Worship to experience the actual Presence of Almighty GOD in their circles.

His Power & His Authority!

Now when He concluded all His sayings in the hearing of the people, He entered Capernaum. A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and ready to die. So, when he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, pleading with Him to come and heal his servant.

And when they came to Jesus, they begged Him earnestly, saying that the one for whom He-Jesus should do this was deserving, for he-Centurion loves our Nation, and has built us a synagogue.

Then Jesus went with them. And when He-Jesus was already not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him,

Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof. Therefore, I did not even think myself worthy to come to You.

But say the Word, and my servant will be Healed.

For I also am a man placed under Authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him-Roman Centurion, and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him,

I say to you, I have not found such great Faith, not even in Israel!

And those who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant alive and well who had been sick!

Dear ones, we are LIKE the Roman Centurion who Believed that JESUS IS The Messiah, the Living Resurrected Son of Almighty GOD – Immanuel who is GOD WITH US! Yet this Roman Centurion was humble enough to ASK for healing of his servant.

Without physically touching the servant, without sending a disciple, without having the Jewish elders lay hands on the servant – JESUS by HIS SPIRIT actually HEALED a human at the request of a non-Jewish Roman army officer.

When it comes to Spiritual control of the earth, POWER has never been the determining factor. God’s POWER is and always will be infinitely superior to all other beings. Authority, the right to control, is the issue for us to understand.

God is still honoring His original decision to rule and work on earth through People. Therefore, Christ needs humans here on earth through whom to release and exercise His Authority. These humans are His Body, the CHURCH. He provides them the AUTHORITY; Holy Spirit provides the Power.

Authority is the right to rule or perform an activity; Power is the strength or force needed to do so. Some illustrate this through a police officer. His badge is his authority; his gun is his power. Authority controls and releases Power; Power backs up and enforces Authority.

Authority is also a representation. This word literally means “to re-present” or “present again.” One to whom Authority has been given represents the one who delegated it, “presenting again” their will, wishes, laws, etc.

A police officer doesn’t say, “I have decided that you aren’t allowed to drive this fast.” She says, “The law decided and declared by the city, county, or state she represents states that you cannot drive this fast.” She represents the Will and Authority of another.

A person with representational Authority derives it from the one who sent them. Just as Christ represented the Father who sent Him, we represent Christ who sent us LINK = John 20:21-23.

Jesus operated in the Father’s AUTHORITY. WE operate in Christ’s. Authority!

Holy Spirit of TRUTH, we PRAY in agreement with Your Word in Matthew 28:18-20 &

Mark 16:14–18;  Luke 24:36–49;  John 20:19–23;  Acts 1:6–8 

Jesus came and spoke to them, saying,

ALL AUTHORITY has been given to Me in Heaven and on earth.

Go therefore and make disciples of ALL the Nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe ALL THINGS that I have commanded you; and lo (Believe this), I AM with you ALWAYS, even to the end of the age. Amen!

The hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and Truth; for the Father is seeking such to WORSHIP Him.

God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must Worship in SPIRIT and TRUTH!

BE LIKE JESUS TODAY, in everything we SAY and in everything that we DO!

Amen and Amen and Amen!
