In Focus

Why are we not seeing the "greater works"?

Because we need to get back to preaching the message of; Blood and Fire! "The Glorious Gospel". What is this message of blood and fire? Simply put, Salvation from sin, death, hell and the grave through the the Blood of Christ and then Baptism into the Holy Spirit for service. Or maybe in another way;
Our life in a heavenly calling; The Cross and Discipleship
We need to be preaching the life changing message of the Cross of Christ.
We need to be preaching that we take up our own daily cross of discipleship.
We need to be preaching that it is His ministry and His inheritance that He desires to have in us.
We need to be preaching the age old gospel message, with the preaching of the word of God central and the most important thing in our church services.
Yes, we need to be preaching the life changing message of the Cross of Christ, a message of conviction, a message that convicts men and women of their sin and the need of repentance for those sins and to gain freedom from them. That freedom only comes through Jesus Christ.   
This is the only thing that can change men and women from a life of sin and bring them to true repentance. The Lord can forgive every sin and pardon all uncleanness. His precious blood that was shed on Calvary's hill has paid for our sin if we accept Christ Jesus as Lord of our life and ask Him to come in to our heart.
There is a heaven to gain and a hell to avoid. Today the nations and their peoples are going to hell in a hurry. They don't want to know the age old message of the blood of Christ and the true Salvation which comes through Him.
We need to be preaching holiness, without which no man shall see God. This holiness is not of our own making, but is received by faith and that faith (given from Him), it is accounted to us for righteousness.
Now, through repentance a life of holiness before God can be achieved, as we daily live out this wonderful forgiveness from God and His sanctification though the power of His baptism into the Holy Spirit.
Thank God that He has received our repentance, forgiven us and put us on a plain pathway to life eternal with Him, by Him and through Him.

SOUND THE ALARM!  Cry aloud, spare not, lift up your voice as a trumpet and shew my people their transgression and the house of Jacob their sins. Isaiah 58:1 British Pentecostal Pioneers             Edward Jeffreys, son of  Stephen Jeffreys

Jesus said "Greater works will ye do than I have done".

It is 2009 and it is high time that we walked in the power of the Holy Spirit; Healing the sick, casting out devils, working miracles, understanding the spiritual ability of transportation from place to place for the purposes of preaching the Gospel, the Good News. Is this something new, as if it just arrived on the scene with Pentecostal/Charismatic? No! All the way though Church history amazing demonstrations of mighty power in the Holy Spirit have been seen and in fact the use of them has decreased throughout history instead of what should have happened. Now the the Christians who exercise His power need to "come out".

A miracle, derived from the old Latin word miraculum meaning "something wonderful", is a striking interposition of divine intervention in the universe by which the ordinary course and operation of nature is overruled, suspended, or modified.

A miracle is a suspension of normal laws of nature by the almighty God in the power of His Spirit.

The entire Bible is packed with miracles. Christ's birth death, resurrection and ascension are all miraculous.

 Miracles are evidence for the existence of an omnipotent, omniscient, and benevolent God.

The descriptions of most miracles in the New Testament are often the same as the commonplace definition: God intervenes in the laws of nature. In John's Gospel the "miracles" are referred to as "signs" and the emphasis is on God demonstrating his underlying normal activity in remarkable ways.

Jesus is recorded as having turned water into wine; creating matter out of nothing, and thus turning a loaf of bread into many loaves of bread; and raising the dead. Jesus explains in the New Testament that miracles are performed by faith in God. "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, “move from here to there” and it will move." (Gospel of Matthew 17:20).

Get prepared to do the works of Christ!
