A word of Knowledge: The Kingdom of God come with Power

A word of Knowledge

On 

The Kingdom of God come with Power


Mark 9:1 KJV

And he said unto them, 

Verily I say unto you, 

That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.


"The kingdom of God come with power" is clearly referring to the day of Pentecost where, 


(Read also Acts 1:1-7)

Acts 1:8 KJV

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.


Which is to say, in order to have the power to witness onto Jesus, we need to receive the Holy Ghost.

He needs to come upon us all in a distinctly separate experience from water baptism. 


"Witnesses unto me" refers to the following by the power of the Holy Spirit, 


Luke 4:18-19 KJV

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; 

he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, 

to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, 

to set at liberty them that are bruised, 

[19] To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.


Now, if the kingdom of God is merely referring to heaven or the restoration of the physical kingdom to Israel on earth, in which the disciples were mistaken or even (to modern believers) referring to His Second Coming, then Jesus would have been lying to His disciples. 


Therefore, if this understanding is clear, then it should be also clear to you that every believer MUST BE BAPTISED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT,

in order to be able to preach the Kingdom of God and to witness Jesus both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth!


To do otherwise is simply disobedience and doing it carnally by your own strength and intellect. 


Do you see it? 

It is a mandatory command of Jesus to us all!

A Real-life Deliverance Account

My sister and I had just done a deliverance on my mum yesterday (Tue, 28 Nov 2023).  It started when she kept vomitting and feeling very giddy and we laid hands upon her as usual according to the Word for divine healing.  However, it merely gave some relief to her, unlike other times as after a while, the extreme nauseousness and giddiness attacked her again. Then right around this point the demon took over her mind (soul) somewhat partially. The symptoms was that she looked dazed and kept repeating over and over again a number of questions like "Why am I sitting here" etc.  At this point when we talked to her, she did not remember anything that she did for the whole day (current time around 4pm+). It is very much like how a person with dementia would behaved and conversed.  To keep the long story short,  we took 2-3 hrs of casting out the demons in her and she is well now. Fast forward, It appeared that the demons came from H***i B***r (American Missionary) who came to our s

Absolute Surrender: Peter's Repentance

Image
Absolute Surrender By Andrew Murray Peter's Repentance You may be a very earnest, godly, devoted believer, in whom the power of the flesh is yet very strong. That is a very solemn truth.  Peter, before he denied Christ, had cast out devils and had healed the sick; and yet the flesh had power, and the flesh had room in him.  Oh, beloved, we have to realize that it is just because there is so much of that self-life in us that the power of God cannot work in us as mightily as God is willing that it should work.  Do you realize that the great God is longing to double His blessing, to give tenfold blessing through us?  But there is something hindering Him, and that something is a proof of nothing but the self-life.  We talk about the pride of Peter, and the impetuosity of Peter, and the self-confidence of Peter. It all rooted in that one word, self.  Christ had said, “Deny self,” and Peter had never understood, and never obeyed; and every failing came out of that. What a solemn thought,

A word of Knowledge: Stop depicting the Holy Spirit as a dove

A word of Knowledge Stop depicting the Holy Spirit as a dove Luke 3:22 KJV And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. Many people, if not everyone, have misunderstood this verse. They pictured the Holy Spirit coming in the shape of a dove coming down upon Jesus. No, this is not what God is telling us at all.  What purpose does it serve to tell us the Holy Spirit looks like a dove where He obviously does not look like that?  God is not the author of foolishness and  confusion.  We are made in God's image, therefore, God the Holy Spirit's bodily shape is one that resembles that of a man, just as God the Son and God the Father. Now, let us read the verse again slowly: "And the Holy Ghost descended in a BODILY SHAPE like a dove upon him" ...in what bodily shape? It is of course in the shape of a man! And the Holy Ghost DESCENDED in a bodily shape LIKE A
