2 Corinthians 13:3-6 - "I will give you all the proof you want that Christ speaks through me. Christ is not weak when he deals with you; he is powerful among you. Although he was crucified in weakness, he now lives by the power of God. We, too, are weak, just as Christ was, but when we deal with you we will be alive with him and will have God's power. Examine yourselves to see if your faith is genuine. Test yourselves. Surely you know that Jesus Christ is among you; if not, you have failed the test of genuine faith. As you test yourselves, I hope you will recognize that we have not failed the test of apostolic authority."
As we look at today’s Church around the world, we see many preachers who have the form of godliness but deny the power of God. They may have nice sermons that are full of 'promising a lot of stuff' or being funny that entertain the people, but they do not have the power of God that confirms their words; they do not speak with Kingdom authoritative words backed by heaven...As a result, the world looks at the Church as weak and unimportant. The world cares little for the words and messages from supposed representatives of Jesus and the Kingdom of God...It's time for the true Church of Jesus Christ and its spiritual leadership to rise up in these Last Days. The Apostle Paul talking to the Corinthian Church gave a bold declaration when he stated, “I will give you all the proof you want that Christ speaks through me.” And in these Last Days...so will I: With apostolic authority!...
Paul stated, "Examine yourselves to see if your faith is genuine. Test yourselves. Surely you know that Jesus Christ is among you; if not, you have failed the test of genuine faith." How about you? Have you passed the test of genuine faith? I'm not talking about faith to believe for 'stuff', but to impact and transform the world- Is it evident to the world that Jesus Christ is with you? Does Jesus work with you and back up you words with Kingdom power and impact? Or are your words spiritually empty and void of Kingdom miracle confirmation? That is the true measurement of the Church of Jesus Christ and its spiritual leadership in today's world!
