The Power Of A Holy Church

To the end that He may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints." 1 Thessalonians 3:13

Just look at the world and all that is going on in it: terrorism, abortion, divorce, adultery, and all of the anti-God legislation that is being passed by governments. Religion is not working. But if we would begin to accept and live in what our Father has provided for us, then think of how things would be. Terrorism comes from hopelessness. Jesus gives hope and faith comes from hope, and faith the size of a grain of mustard seed blows a mountain into the sea! Abortion comes from fear, Jesus Author’s faith not fear, and He does it without condemnation! It wouldn’t matter if every judge and every elected official in the land said abortion was legal, if the Church would begin to walk in what we have studied, abortion would end. We would have the answer and the power of God Himself and the love of Christ working through us would conquer it. Women would stop desiring abortions and doctors would stop performing them. I honestly and actually believe that this is the power that Christ has to offer.

Picture the power of Jesus 2000 years ago, and now picture millions of people walking united with Him. Picture millions of people who are now one with Jesus, walking in His full power, in His full love, with His full faith, with His full mind, with His full heart, and with the fullness of God’s Spirit, actually all being one with Jesus! Picture millions of us being used by our Father in the fullness of His power and in the fullness of His love! That is what God’s Word teaches us that we should be. Picture it, and picture a glorious Church without spot and without wrinkle and without blemish, and then hope for the blessings and peace of Christ to be enjoyed throughout all of the world! Now go back and look at what our Father said in 1 Thessalonians 3:13. God said that He would establish us to be holy and unblameable at the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Our Father will be working through the end time church in even greater ways than He worked through Jesus 2000 years ago! Just as Jesus said He would in John 14:12. Faith comes from hearing and hearing comes from the Word of our Father!
