The Gospel Goes Beyond Words

"For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake." 1 Thessalonians 1:5

Our Father uses us to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ with much assurance and with much power! There should be no doubts when we confess the Truth, there should be none of this, “we can agree to disagree!” The Gospel of God is in power; it’s in the power of the Holy Ghost, and the power of God changes things! Peter walked through the streets and the people just wanted to get close to him, and if they did they were healed! Our Father is not double minded and we now have the mind of Christ! Our Father is a God of absolutes. Jesus proclaimed that God would perform signs and wonders through us, Mark 16, and that the world would follow us as we are led by Him in the paths of righteousness! Jesus proclaimed that our Father would do the works through us that He did through Him. Jesus also taught us that our Father would do even greater works through us! God has spoken that His kingdom is one of power. These are Truths and whether the world accepts them or rejects them makes no difference! If we have truly been empowered to say yes to Jesus and make Him the Lord of our lives, then these things will happen through us. If they don’t, then our Father would have lied and our Father is not a man that He should lie!

We will absolutely be used by God to proclaim His Truth’s with power and with much, praise God much, assurance! Greater is He that is within us than He that is in the world!
