The Power of Gaining insight that wins -Manifestions of the sons God (Part 5)
Proverbs 4:7
[7]Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.
God uses spiritual evaluations disguised as everyday life like storms, fire and challenges in the form of tests to bring us to a place where our spirit man is conditioned to enjoy all the blessings that He has prepared for us .
These sort of evaluations, comes to us, not to break us, or to kill us, but rather to align our divine path to how the Lord wants us to operate and live, in this earth realm.
God wants us to walk in a certain level of abundance, that can not be blocked, favour that cannot be hindered, peace that can not be stolen .
Psalms 66:12 ( NKJV)
[12]You have caused men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But You brought us out to rich fulfillment.
Psalm 66:12 (KJV)
“Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.”
This same verse from different translations above highlights God’s sovereignty and faithfulness, bringing His children through trials and difficulties into a place of abundance and blessing.
“wealthy place” and “rich fulfillment” , from the scripture, mentioned above in two different translations in the book of Psalm 66:12 , can be explained as follows .
From looking closely, we can see that, this scripture describes or refers to a state of abundance, prosperity, and blessing which symbolizes or should be noted as a state of, or the condition of the human spirit, in connection to a higher Spirit.
This connection of the human spirit to the Spirit of God, transcends to a physical place of refreshment, peace, and fulfillment, where God’s people can thrive and experience His goodness, abundance and prosperity. Hallelujah!
So by describing this condition of the human spirit in terms of wealthy place and rich fulfillment.
Child of God, through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, I will narrate the above subject with two powerful mystery.
The Power of God:
The power of God in a believer’s life is transformative, this empowers the child of God to live a life that reflects Christ’s character and demonstrates His kingdom or power.
Empowerment for kingdom Service:
The power of God enables a child of God for an active ministry, equipes us to perform miracles, healings and to demonstrate God’s kingdom here on earth. Praise God !
Acts 1:8
[8]But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
1 Corinthians 12:10
[10]to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.
Supernatural abilities:
God’s power is a supernatural energy that works within a child of God, strengthening him or her for service and witness.
Ephesians 3:16
[16]that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,
III. Strength demonstrated in Weakness:
God’s power is often revealed in our weakness, demostrating His strength and glory.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
[9]And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
[10]Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Example of the Power of God in operation according to scriptures.
The deliverance of Israel from Egypt is a powerful demonstration of God’s power, which proves God’s sovereignty, authority, and love to His children.
Miraculous Signs and Wonders:
God’s power was displayed through miraculous signs and wonders, such as the parting of the Red Sea.
Exodus 14:21-22
[21]Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided.
[22]So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
Deliverance from oppression:
God’s power liberated Israel from Egyptian oppression, demonstrating His care and concern for His children. Hallelujah!
Exodus 6:6-7
[6]Therefore say to the children of Israel: ‘I am the Lord; I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments.
[7]I will take you as My people, and I will be your God. Then you shall know that I am the Lord your God who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
III. God Demonstrates His Sovereignty:
God is a sovereign God and He demonstrated His sovereignty over Pharaoh, and the gods of Egypt.
Exodus 12:12
[12]‘For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord.
Presence of God
The presence of God in the life of a child of God is a very serious and intimate reality, transforming our identity, purpose, and daily experience for the will of God.
Intimate Fellowship and Relationship.
God’s presence signifies His nearness, fostering intimate fellowship and communion with His children.
John 14:16-17
[16]And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—
[17]the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.
God’s presence provides Guidance and Comfort:
The Holy Spirit, representing God’s presence, guides, comforts, and empowers us in our daily lives.
Romans 8:26-27
[26]Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
[27]Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
III. God’s presence is Transformative:
God’s presence transforms us, renewing our minds and character to reflect or to change into Christ’s image.
2 Corinthians 3:18
[18]But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Examples of the presence of God according to scriptures
1.During Jesus Christ earthly Ministry:
Jesus demonstrated God’s power through miracles and healing.
Acts 10:38
[38]how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.
Jesus Christ also demonstrated God’s presence in His intimate relationship with the Father.
John 14:10
[10]Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.
2.During the time of the Apostles in the early church:
The body of Christ which is the church experienced God’s power through signs and wonders .
Acts 2:43
[43]Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
Acts 4:31
[31]And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
They also experienced the presence of God through communal worship and fellowship .
Acts 2:42-47
[42]And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.
[43]Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
[44]Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common,
[45]and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.
[46]So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,
[47]praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.
So saints of God, from this teaching we arrived at this divine insight, the demonstration of God’s power and the manifestation of God’s presence, is the pathway were sons and daughters of God walk in Gods Glory.
The wealthy place or rich fullfillment, where the Lord brought His children into is the place of the Anointing.
Proverbs 8:18-21
[18]Riches and honor are with me, Enduring riches and righteousness.
[19]My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, And my revenue than choice silver.
[20]I traverse the way of righteousness, In the midst of the paths of justice,
[21]That I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth, That I may fill their treasuries.
Through the anointing of God’s Holy Spirit, a child of God can live a balanced, Spirit-filled life, reflecting Christ’s character in this kingdom.
Conclusion
Manifesting the power of God and the presence of God is an encounter which is dependent on the relationship and the fellowship with the Holy Spirit.
The Anointing of God’s Holy Spirit is the actual presence of God rubbed or smeared on us to produce this radiance of God for kingdom purpose, status or identity.
So saints of God, this is the very essence of God, to aligning our pathway to a wealthy place or to a rich fulfillment which is in Christ, so that we can manifest his presence and demonstrate his power for kingdom relevance. Hallelujah!
