The Power That Works in is – Apostle Joshua Selman
The power at work in us (The press for more): The business of encounters with God is not always about deliverance from Satan, curses, yokes, and bondages, even though there is a place for that.God’s goal is not just to set you free in experience from demons and principalities; when done dealing with these things, you are to press into God, to allow you the liberty to grow and become the perfect portrait of a Believer, and effective Witness in Christ. There is a pathway that leads to the maturity of the Believer and it is the responsibility of ministers to build the Believers to ultimately transition from ordinary people to witnesses.
For a preacher present, don’t maintain followers; build Champions out of ordinary people, first from Unbelievers to Believers, to Transformed Believers, and then Empowered Witnesses.
There is a dimension of praise and glory that only the Church/Saints can bring. Paul in speaking about the desire to bring God glory notes the extent of His glory, to help us appreciate the greatness of God. He shows us the extent and vastness of God’s ability.Anytime there is a lack of manifestation of results, God’s ability should never be part of the diagnosis, because God is ALWAYS able! (Ephesians 3:20). It’s important that you know God is able because anytime you’re sent, you ought to have the consciousness of the might of your Sender. It’s what gives you boldness and confidence. As Believers, the level of might of the one who sends you, whether economic or financial, is where you derive your boldness from. No request comes before the throne of God, that causes Him to worry.
The God of heaven possesses the ability to tackle anything within human imagination, bearing in mind the infinite possibilities and mental capacities of mankind. You need to grasp an essential truth about God: your ability to give Him glory is connected to your understanding and awareness of how mighty and powerful He is. When God wants to build the faith of the Believer, He exposes the Believer to a level of His power that has never been seen, and that realization automatically drowns unbelieve. Don’t be too used to pain. God is greater! Don’t be too used to defeat, frustration, and negative conditions, God is greater than your negative experiences! Your mind through pain can build a resistance to God’s power. God is mighty, He really is!
The reason why we keep laboring on people to have faith in God is because God’s power is scarce, importing spiritual realities to this realm and making it VISIBLE for all to see. _Every Believer in this end time who desires to bring glory to God must understand the greatness of God’s power.
The kind of ministries that God is expecting will bring Him glory in these end times is far beyond falling under the anointing, it is about greater dimensions and expressions of His power. When people lift their hands and shout “amen” to prophetic declarations, they often do so with a sense of hope that it works, but many are weighed down by disappointments due to a track record of seeming lack of potency and unmet expectations regarding the manifestation of God’s power.
Our efforts to promote church attendance using publicity shouldn’t feel desperate. There is an abundance and a rich outpouring of the Spirit that should naturally attract people to church. _Lay your hands on your head and cry: Lord, I am available, invest greater measures of your power upon my life! We have yet to recognize that economic hardship is a strategy employed by Satan, causing people and even Believers to compromise for the sake of survival.Some have reverted to seeking dark powers, with a plan to seek God’s forgiveness afterward.
If Jesus Christ instructed a man to catch a fish and a coin appeared, what does it take for a Believer to declare something and see it come to pass?If we don’t contend for the power of God, a generation is rising that will say, “Justify my coming church?”
