At the 9th hour biblical time, 3:00 in the afternoon our time, Jesus cried out, Father, into Your hands I commit my spirit” (Luke 23:46) and died on His own blood-stained cross nailed nakedly for His believers to see.  The COVID-19 crisis was an attack on having Christian fellowship inside the church building as many worshipers were forced to tune into social media on internet via phones, dusted off radios taken out of storage, and sat in front of the televisions more than ever before to listen to the gospel.  The Church buildings may have been on lockdown at that perilous time, but the Spirit of the Lord cannot be barred, banned, tied or locked when believers loose it!  The epidemic is over, and we survived.  Yet something was taken out of us as a Church body.  Now, more than ever, is the time to take it back!

“My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually say to me, ‘Where is your God?’” (Psalm 42:3) As with a breaking of my bones, my enemies reproach me, while they say to me all day long, ‘Where is your God?” (Psalm 42:10).  There are times when even the greatest warriors’ souls break down in distress and sorrow.  These times are marked when, after riding on the clouds of great victories, we come among the multitudes whom have never experienced that “high” and meet their skepticism, disbelief, anger, and fear—the aftershocks of a social crisis. 

 

King David, one of Israel’s greatest warriors, cried out these scriptures from the depth of his soul.  Prayer warriors in Christ today do the same as the ungodly (not born-again church-goers and unbelievers alike) continually challenge us with “Where is your God?”  Look at how much you’re struggling (when they have the means to give).  Your child is off-track (when they have the influence to help).  You see how your family history—your past—is holding you back; you’ll never go forward (when united prayer for you can break every chain in your life).  And, feeling alone, you look up to God in heaven behind that silent glass of tears and bellow from your soul: “Abba Father, deliver me from the snare of the fowler!”

 

That “snare” wants to trap you in bouts of doubt, causing a wavering of your faith in your bright vision of the future and in God.  You have been “high” in Christ because you have testified to His miraculous power in your life thus far; and you know deep down He will never leave you, nor forsake you.  But the devil hates the anointing on your life; and bombards your soul with strong winds to blow out your light.  LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE BEFORE MEN, DEAR CHRISTIAN, THAT ALL EYES MAY SEE AND GIVE GLORY TO GOD. 

 

Do not let your light blow out but carry your Bible and boldly walk into the Church building for fellowship with your spiritual family!  The Kingdom of Heaven is in you (Luke 17:21), and together, in fellowship, we must worship the King of Heaven. Because Peter confessed who Jesus was, he was given the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven—Pentecostal Power!  You, too, can take those keys given to Peter and open up—loose—the flood gates for this same power to fill you up, and bind on earth all causes of distress to your soul and body.

 

The resurrection power which rose Jesus up from the grave to life (1 Corinthians 15:3b-6a) is what the early Christians experienced as Pentecost Power!  The promised Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, was poured out on all humanity, and we were renewed in the image of God, our Father, Jesus His Son and filled with His Holy Spirit, your anointing.  Bind up fear and socioeconomic paralysis, now!  Bind up past pain and failure to act now! And loose your showers of blessing in the flood of Holy Spirit power, now!  You’ve got to believe: “I’ve got the power!” before it can work as miracles in you and around you.

 


You are not weak.  You are not struggling.  You are not going backward.  Rather, YOU ARE PUSHING PAST THE PAIN WITH PENTECOSTAL POWER.  Those who decide not to activate that power within them want you to be powerless, too.  DRAW CLOSER TO JESUS AND THE DEVIL WILL FLEE FROM YOU!  Drawing close to Jesus means that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection (Philippians 3:10a).  We must hold firmly to the Cross and pray fervently in the power of Pentecost! You shall experience the change that is coming.

"Power of Prayer" by Lester Kern

And from heaven, our Father answers giving us a renewed vision, a remembrance, and an undeniable strong sign that we are not alone: that He raised his Son on the third day with His own Power!  What power can raise the dead to life?:  Make the whole world be in total darkness from 12 noon to 3 o’clock?  Tear in two the temple curtain?  Open tombs for the dead in Christ to walk the streets of Jerusalem—the holy city?  Have a Roman (Gentile) soldier confess (along with other Jew and Gentile multitudes) that “Surely, He was the Son of God”?  Disarm principalities and evil powers, making a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in public?  And finally, after all that quick action, wash away all your sins, give back to you what Satan stole from you, and makes my feet like the feet of deer, and sets me on my high places and enlarges those places so that my feet do not slip (Psalm 18:33, 36)?  

 

CLAIM THIS POWER AND HOLD IT DEARLY IN YOUR BOSOM.

NO THING AND NO ONE CAN TAKE IT AWAY FROM YOU BECAUSE

JESUS STANDS AT THE DOOR OF YOUR HEART HOLDING THE KEY SUCH THAT NO ONE CAN OPEN IT AND TAKE WHAT IS YOURS.

 

Prayer is that key to binding the bad and loosing the goodness of God into your life. Invest in taking back what the devil stole from you: Christian Fellowship in God's House of Prayer. Live and experience the results of Prayer Power with your family:



Stop crying, cross-carrying Christian. Through the Power of our Savior’s resurrection and His promised Pentecost Power, our enemies are crushed down and trampled over, no more to rise again strengthening our faith as In God we boast all day long, and praise Your name forever.  Selah! and Amen!
