Are you satisfied with an empty Pentecost?
Current mood: thankful
Sharing my morning study...
~And yet we are quibbling and wondering if Jesus Christ is big enough for our needs. Let's take the bars down. Let God come into your life. And in the name of Jesus your heart will not be satisfied with an empty Pentecost, but your soul will claim the light of God and the lightening of Jesus to flood your life! Amen!~
That is a quote from the chapter called "The Science of Divine Healing", from the book John G. Lake: The Complete Collection of His Life Teachings as compiled by Roberts Liardon.
I was listening this morning to Pastor Joseph Prince...a sermon on the sheep and the Shepherd and he brought up some experiments that were done on John G. Lake by medical doctors trying to disprove his ability to heal people. The medical doctors watched germ cells die when they came into contact with John G. Lake's skin under a microscope. They watched brain waves go off the charts and proclaimed that John was a genius as they watched as he quoted various scriptures and readings. He told them that he was not a genius, but what they were witnessing was the Holy Spirit at work in him as He spoke and meditated on the Word of God. Awesome stuff!
Here is another excerpt from the same chapter:
~The world lived in darkness for 5000 years and they had no way of lighting a place like this, except by torches or candles. But there was just as much electricity 5000 years ago, as there is today. Somebody found how to handle it, discovered the laws that govern it, learned to apply it to our need. But to this day, there is no man who can tell us what electricity is or what its substance is. We know we can control it this way and guide it that way and make it do this and that, but what it is nobody can tell us. However, down somewhere on the river there is a machine that is called a dynamo, and it draws the electricity out of the air and transmits it over the wires. And these days they are sending it in wireless waves.
Do you know what prayer is? It is not begging God for this and that. The first thing we have to do is to get you beggars to quit begging, until a little faith moves in your soul. Prayer is God's divine generator. The spirit of man is God's divine dynamo. When you go to pray, your spirit gets into motion. Not ten thousand revolutions a minute, but possibly one hundred thousand. The voltage of heaven comes to your heart and it flows from your hands, it burns into the souls of men, and God Almighty's Spirit is applied through you to their need!
....the voltage of heaven and the Power of God! There is lightening in the soul of Jesus! The lightenings of Jesus heals men by its flash; sin dissolves, disease flees when the power of God approaches.~
Earlier in the chapter John was praying and meditating and said, "Has God no interest in these people? And if He has an interest, why is not something done for them? What is the matter with God? Is God unable to help, or does He not care?" My heart was breaking under the burden of it..."God please explain this to me." He said that his heart grew calm and the Spirit said, "The Church which is His body," and I knew my answer. The Church is the ministering presence of the Son of God in the world. The Church is the generating agency of the power of God in the world.
Pastor Myles Munroe taught me that God does nothing apart from us...working through us. Heaven is waiting for earthly license for heavenly interference. We have heard this in different ways from other great teachers of God's Word. Life and death are in your mouth...victory is in your words...healing is in your hands...and in your words.
We know that God is bringing out leaders to wake us up to do the greater works! I pray that we are willing to be awakened! I thank Him for what he is doing in the church!
Peace,
Teresa
