By THE SPIRIT it is written what Peter preached at the house of Cornelius in Acts chapter 10:
36 The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all—
37 that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached:
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.
No Believer questions the Truth and facts stated above about Jesus and His anointing for He is the Son of Our Heavenly Father. The Entire Scripture centers around His coming, His ministry, and His current position at the right hand of FATHER. The challenge we face is to fully accept our role as Sons and Daughters IN HIM and be led by THE HOLY SPIRIT rather than led by our mind of logic and reasoning. We must overcome the trust we have placed in our own reasoning and embrace FATHER’S Word above all in our individual lives. Let us embrace HIS Truth which Jesus spoke in Acts chapter 1:
“You have heard from Me;
5 for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
7 And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.
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.”
We received Spiritual power when we received The Holy Spirit yet for most this power lies dormant. Our adversary, the devil, would like us to remain in that state so that the world would be left unaffected and in his dominion. Many have discounted the impact of the devil as though he and his demons no longer matter in the affairs of mankind. You only have to step back and look at the big picture to see the works of the devil around the world. If Jesus had to deal with the devil be assured that we will also. The good news is that Jesus defeated the devil and his authority but we must exercise the same power and authority as we minister to mankind. Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Romans chapter 15:
17 Therefore in Christ Jesus I have found reason for boasting in things pertaining to God.
18 For I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me, resulting in the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed,
19 in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and round about as far as Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
Paul fully understood the anointing of power through The Holy Spirit. Knowing this power, we too will overcome all obstacles lifted up and set before us in our walk. If we are to be Overcomers, we must overcome. Paul wrote in Romans chapter 12:
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
The Beloved Disciple John also understood and embraced the power of the anointing to overcome the devil as he wrote by THE SPIRIT in 1 John chapter 2:
14 I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
15 Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.
17 The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.
Doing good is constructive and restorative in nature. Doing bad is destructive. Let us be strong in The Word and overcome the evil one by the power and anointing given to us by FATHER. We must acknowledge that the evil one is still around and attempting to keep us in the dark concerning his devices and schemes. He uses people and resources in an attempt to bring forth destruction. He oppresses people with sickness and disease. FATHER has revealed the enemy so that we can and will by HIS power overcome the enemy and bring forth the Kingdom.
PS: In order to be strong in The Word, you must read and study The Word. This is why FATHER has me include Scriptures in every writing. Meditate on these writings throughout the day and you will increase in strength.
