THE UNTAPPED POWER OF CHRIST BY: TD JAKES

One of the things that needs to be better understood within the body of christ is the power of christ. In many cases, the church needs to understand this as much as the world does. Christ is not a weak, impotent, unresponsive force. Our God is a God of power-He impacts every situation and circumstance He is allowed to enter with revolutionary, life changing power.

One christian can chase a thousand, and two can chase ten thousand because our God allows it to be so. (Deuteronomy 32:30). The Church bears all the power neccessary to heal marriages and to heal those who are sick-physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. The Real psychologist's couch resides in the Word of God. The church can impact every community-its families, its economy, its health.

When Jesus came to a city, the magistrates and all of the city leaders knew it. He worked in such a way that everybody knew it He was there. He changed things.

Its time that more of us in the body of christ be noisier about the power of christ-to be movers and shakers who will go into the enemy's camp and take back what he has stolen from us. We have the answer to domestic violence, racial tension, immorality. His name is Jesus. We don't need to look to the White House, but to the church house. We don't need to take over the ballot box, we need to kneel before the altar. This is not to say that the church today is so perfect that it couldn't be amended or improved. But what is wrong with the church is of man, not christ. His power is absolute, unchanging, and perfecgt.

The power of christ can be criticized...but not contained. It can be frustrated or thwarted...but not stopped. It can be hindered...but not quenched. If God is behind even the smallest thing, it becomes mighty, effective, and powerful to the tearing down of all types of strongholds.

It's time we used the name of Jesus to decalare that the enemy no longer has any authority over our own lives, or the lives of our families. We must force the issure with the enemy. We must be radical enough to make him loose us and let us go.

SAY TO THE ENEMY TODAY,"IN THE NAME OF JESUS, LOOSE ME. LOOSE MY FAMILY. WE BELONG TO GOD AND TO HIM ALONE!

Galatians

Brethren, If a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness: considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
