The Power of God (Part 2): Things That Reduce God’s Power in Our Lives

Pr.24.10 10 If you faint in the day of adversity, Your strength is small.

It means your strength, or God’s power in you, is small or ineffective We live in 2 realms Spiritual, Natural To manifest as Children of God, we must know how live in the Spiritual realm so the physical realm is affected. My life today must affect my spirit, which in turn affects my natural realm

The Church is either prevailing on hell is prevailing. Both cannot happen at the same time. (Matt.16.18)

The source of our power and authority comes from Christ. (Matt.28.18-20) What reduces God’s power in our lives? 1.Living Outside Christ

Maybe you are outside the power of Jesus (Act.17.28, Eph.2.5-6, Heb.10.25) 2.Military Bases America has military bases in over 70 nations all over the world including Japan, Australia, Germany, Italy, Israel, South Korea, Iraq, Syria, and Africa too. This cost the USA $100 billion a year to maintain.

Why have military bases? Training and covert operations

(Eyes in the Sky, Boots on the Ground) Many times the devil also plants military bases in people’s lives to bring about a marginalization or limitation of God’s power. e.g. Pride (James.4.6); Rebellion (1Sam.15.23); Fear (1John.4.18), Unbelief (Mk.6.5-6), Ignorance (Hosea.4.6), Sin (Judas Luke.22.1-4, John.12.6), Sexual. Immoral thots (you must fight it), Pride of life (I have arrived,

better than you), Self life (Its about me), Bad dreams, Too much worldly entertainment (TV, Films, Netflix) No wonder Jesus’ testimony was so powerful in John.14.30

3. Passive Power

Whatever you bind on earth is bound in Heaven (absolute). But until you bind, the power is passive (Matt.16.18)

The release power is dependent on your posture. You must align yourself with the truth of God’s Word,

by believing God’s Word. Don’t be like Ephraim. (Ps.78.9, 2Kings.3.26-27)

4. Dealing with Coincidences

There are no coincidences in the spirit. String of misfortunes are designed to wear you down. Remember Job (Job.1.13-19)

Dealing with it. Do the 4R’s: Repent, Rebuke, Resist, Renounce
