Word for Today:  May 11

Power’s evidence.

Pentecostal Power so prevalent in the New Testament is, unfortunately, not a present day reality in the majority of churches.

Signs, wonders and miracles are not the real evidence of Holy Ghost Power.  What is the evidence of the Power of God?

• Changed lives are the evidence of Holy Ghost Power.
• Sin, repented of and removed is evidence of Holy Ghost Power.
• Love and forgiveness prevailing toward those who have wronged us is evidence of Holy Ghost Power.
• Clean living and holy thinking and right doing are all evidence of Holy Ghost Power.
• When we care more for prayer and fellowship with the Father than we do for personal pet pastimes that is evidence of Holy Ghost Power.
• The evidence of Holy Ghost Power is True Worship, Joyful Praise and Strong Word Preaching and Teaching.
• When we desire God more than anything else… when we seek Him and cry out to Him and long for Him, this is evidence of Holy Ghost Power.
• When everything that offends is cut away and put down… when all our Idols are smashed and reduced to dust, this is the evidence of Holy Ghost Power.

You cannot experience the Power of God without SOMETHING HAPPENING.

God’s Power produces results.  It is not more education that we need.  It is not “super-star” orators that we need, It is not bigger and more comfortable buildings that we need.  It is not more efficient organization and more talented administration that we need.  It is not more professional choirs and musicians and more highly skilled worship leaders that we need.

What we need is the Power of God

And ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you… Acts 1:8
