There are different degrees in natural power. The same is true with Holy Ghost power.

The degree of Holy Ghost power is dependent on the degree of power administered AND the degree of a person’s faith to receive.

Faith activates the power.

John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Amos 3:3 How can two walk together except they be agreed?

There are conditions, perimeters, and boundaries to access the power of God. This is why there hasn’t been the demonstration of the power of God that we truly desire.

Are you longing for that power in demonstration greater than it’s ever been?

1 Corinthians 14:14 For if I pray in an [unknown] tongue, my spirit [by the Holy Spirit within me] prays, but my mind is unproductive [it bears no fruit and helps nobody].

If you don’t have all the ingredients, you don’t have the perfect recipe. God has given us all the ingredients.

Praying the word AND praying in tongues is a necessary ingredient to have the demonstration of the power of God.

We should see increase every day, spiritual things and natural things - He created the world for our pleasure.

The more you reverence the Holy Ghost, the more He will move in your midst. Don’t try to hurry or pressure Him.

To be effective in intercessory prayer, we must persevere in prayer. Intercession is not bound by time or space.

We should always pray until we have a note of praise or victory - we will either start laughing, praising, or singing.

A great move of God cannot come, even though it is His will, unless the body of Christ, the church, gives birth to it.

God is looking for volunteers who will sacrifice even the legitimate pleasures of life and come aside from fellowship with others and spend time on their face in intercession.

The more you fellowship with Him, the less you will long after natural fellowship, not that you will have no fellowship with other people, but you will balance out the scales.

God is enlisting men and women today, people who will respond to Him.

Are you one of them?

God’s eyes are searching for a people that want to be a part of the demonstration of the Power of God.

Jesus wants us to meditate, learn, to rise up with the understanding that the Power of God is real. Why? Because He wants our faith in the power of God not in the wisdom of man.

God does not have to generate more power. He is power.

For the move of God one must put time, energy, and effort for that demonstration of the move.

The Bible is a recipe book of the power of God.

James 5:16 The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].

1 Timothy 2:1-2 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men. For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

In God's recipe for prayer, we are to start by praying for all people.

How do you pray for all people?

In Ephesians chapters 1 (and 3), Paul shows us:

Ephesians 1:18-19 And [I pray] that the eyes of your heart [the very center and core of your being] may be enlightened [flooded with light by the Holy Spirit], so that you will know and cherish the hope [the divine guarantee, the confident expectation] to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints (God’s people), And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength.

Should you be encouraging individuals with the Bible? Absolutely. But you need to also help them connect with a body of believers where they can be enabled with all the fullness of the Body of Christ.

Ephesians 4:11-13 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:

How do we get the power working?

God’s power in our bodies and in our lives is activated by our faith filled words, agreeing with God by saying what He says about us.

The Glory of God | Pastor Phillip H Jackson 

God’s original intent was for man to speak with the Glory of God behind his words.

Because God so loved the world, we are suppose to be changing the world.

God can speak our future in our spirit in the blink of an eye.

The physical is subject to the spiritual all the time.

The major loss is when Adam disobeyed God and lost the Glory of God. It was God’s Glory that gave Adam the authority to function in the earth. God’s Glory caused every word that Adam spoke to be obeyed by the world. Adam was never to work with his hands but to work with his words.

God placed Adam on the earth as the governor to command the world and tell it what to do.

We have authority on the earth but God is the owner.

Jesus came to the earth with the Glory of God so man can now see how to live upon the earth.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue. We have the authority to control everything that pertains to our life.

Everything in our life should be held to these standards. We either give it the right to live or we give it the command to die.

Because of the Glory of God in our life, a lot of what we pray about should be spoken to by us.

We should have more knowledge of the Glory of God.

The Body of Christ is in a special position in the earth. We are the spiritual Body of Christ that God is preparing for Christ all over the earth.

Jesus has returned the Glory to the Body of Christ and it’s time for the Body of Christ to exercise that authority on the earth now and command it to live or command it to die, command it to go up or command it to go down.

We should call sickness and disease dead. It has no right in our body.

Every time there is a miracle, it is from the Glory of God. Whenever God intervenes, it’s the Glory of God.

The Glory of God works in the financial realm also.

The same Glory that Adam lost, Jesus has given back.

The Glory is here to support every word that we speak.

The unseen realm has more authority than the seen realm and we have to start entering into that authority by what we say.

1 Corinthians 2:1-5 – Our faith is in the power of God.

James 5:16b (Amplified Bible) – Our earnest, heartfelt, and continued prayer makes tremendous power available.

Electricity is a natural power harnessed by man. The Anointing is the power of God…it is immeasurable.

1 Corinthians 14:14 – If we pray in an unknown tongue, our spirits, by the Holy Spirit within us, pray. We are praying beyond what our minds can understand.

The Holy Spirit dwells within us. The Holy Spirit comes upon us for service to humanity. The Holy Spirit needs our voice.

God is no respecter of persons. (Acts 10:34, Romans 2:11, Ephesians 6:9)

1 Corinthians 14:2 – When we speak in tongues we are speaking to God. Speaking requires using our voices.

True humility is recognizing that in ourselves we are nothing…but in Him, we are everything. 

Jeremiah 33:3 – We cry out to God from our spirits, not from our minds. 

Get Your Lights Turned Up Brighter | Pastor Phillip H Jackson

God's promises are in His Word and need to be transferred from the page into your heart. How does this happen?

God has made provision for the Body of Christ to walk in light. We have to know what that light is. The Word of God is the fuel for our light to get brighter, even in the midst of a world that is getting darker. Proverbs 20:26 says the spirit of man is the candle of the Lord. This is how God works.

It all hinges on the image you have of yourself. Get the image from how God sees you – as a new creature. The old image has passed away. Image got started at the very beginning when God made man in His image and likeness. Words paint pictures, and God's Word paints pictures. They are spiritual images.

God's promises are in the Word and need to be transferred from the page into your heart. How does this happen? Speaking the Word gets it into your mouth. From there it gets into your heart. From the heart it starts creating images. Once the image is in our heart, we have to release it out of our mouth.

That completes it and it starts to affect the natural. Something happens to the Word in your heart. It gets connected to your belief system and you start believing it. Faith is then released when you speak that Word out of our mouth.

In the spirit realm things work differently than in the natural realm. Learn to trust your spirit and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit works with your spirit. The Holy Spirit is communicating with your spirit continually. Determining between your natural mind and your spirit is key, because God uses your spirit for revelation.

The Word entering our spirit gives light. So get more Word for more light. The Holy Spirit helps us find what we need for any situation in the Word of God. Praying in tongues helps with this. It is the avenue the Holy Spirit uses to search for answers that we need.

Faith is now. Never push the promises of God into the future. Regardless of what it feels like or looks like, believe God and His Word. If it isn't “now faith” it's something else. It's faith that God receives. Release His Word out of your mouth as positive, present truths, with conviction. God is not a man that He should lie and His Word never fails.

The Power of God is Always Available To The Believer | Pastor Cheryl S Jackson

It makes no difference your situation or circumstance in life, God’s power is always available to the believer.

Every act of God is received through faith; faith in the Word of God, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, faith in the precious Blood of Christ, and faith in the power of God.

It makes no difference your situation or circumstance in life, God’s power is always available to the believer.

The tangible manifestation of the power of God can be so strong that the person vibrates (trembles) in the presence of the anointing.

Notice the “and” in I Corinthians 2:4 -

“In demonstration of the Spirit AND of power.”

God is the One who does the anointing.

God anointed Jesus with the Holy Ghost and with power, and then Jesus went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil.

As believers the first thing we need to understand is that sickness, disease, poverty, discomfort, or anything that is not healthy or wholesome did not come from God. All those things originated with the disobedience of Adam in the garden.

The serpent came and the first thing he did was to instill doubt. The first thing that the enemy comes with is doubt. Doubt can take hold if we do not take preparation time to study the Word and fellowship with the Holy Spirit.

Three books to read daily that will build you up on the truth:

Even though God anointed Jesus, He in His own hometown could do no mighty works because of their  unbelief.

Two conditions for receiving:

The anointing is tangible and is transferred when the minister touches the person to whom he or she is ministering.

The person receiving the anointing has a responsibility to receive the anointing and must activate that anointing by faith.

We receive by faith.

We have faith in the Word, in God, in Jesus, in the Blood of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the Gifts of the Spirit, in the pastors, and in the corporate anointing present here.

How do you release your faith? By believing and saying. Faith is released by believing in the heart and speaking with the mouth.

There are many ways that healing is administered. One way is by touch, by the laying on of hands.

When hands are laid upon you, the power is transmitted by touch from Heaven through the minister to you. By faith you must believe that you receive.

Yield yourself to the Holy Spirit when hands are laid upon you. Continue to say, “the power of God is working in me.”

God wants to bring order into your life.

For a mind to be renewed a believer must spend time with the Word of God and avoid distractions.

The Holy Ghost moves upon chaos and brings order. 

He wants your spirit to grow and to develop so that when storms of life come your spirit is so developed, saturated and strong with the Word of God, you don’t even notice the storm and you’re not moved by any part of it.

Giving mental agreement to God’s Word will not help you.

Change comes when believers do the ABCDs:

The Bible contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of life, the doom of sinners, the happiness of believers. Read it to be wise. Practice it to live holy.

The answer to every situation in life is found in the Bible. Take the time to get the answer from the only book that has the answer to every situation. Get in the Word of God for yourself and stay with what God says.

People, promises, and problems: they all deserve an answer. If you cannot find the answer in the Bible, then don’t answer.

The root cause of any person’s dilemma, situation, or frustration is a mind that is not renewed with the Word of God because they endeavor to handle things in a natural way.

When the mind has been renewed with the Word of God, the spirit through the mind can control the body. The renewed mind can control the body. It takes a body to produce an act. It takes the mind to produce an act.

The only time you can arrest your mind and your body is when  your mind is renewed and your spirit is developed with the Word of God.

The Anointing of God | Pastor Phillip H Jackson

Spiritual rulers of the world were behind the crucifixion; if they had known what His death and resurrection would accomplish, they never would have crucified Him.

What we think, or the way we’ve been taught, often hinders us from moving into the realm of the Spirit and engaging in tongues.

Because of how the Holy Spirit affects our lives, we have to learn to yield to Him from the inside out.

We are the Body of Christ, and nothing is withheld from us. We can receive the things of the Spirit, but the world cannot.

The renewing of our minds is a process; we have to align our minds with the Word of God.

The redemption is for us personally, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost positions us to minister to others. The redemption positions us in the Body of Christ, enabling us to access the supernatural by the Holy Spirit.

God is choosing those who agree with Him. We qualify or disqualify ourselves for redemption by rejecting or agreeing with God.

The majority of things people have difficulty with naturally in their bodies are spiritually induced. When it is spiritual, healing comes through the Spirit.

It is by the Spirit that God wants to bless the Body of Christ, affecting the world around us.

The Spirit is in us, but the anointing comes upon us for ministry to others.

When we discover the real, true image of God living in us, here's what happens:

All of a sudden our lives change. The importance of life changes when this revelation comes.

When we start to understand it, the way we react to people changes.

Understanding the image of God and getting the real, true image of who we are in Him are both vital to living a victorious life.

There are two paths we can walk down. We can live spiritual or we can live natural.

We are created to live in both worlds. But most of the time we allow the wrong world to dominate our lives because it was the first world we learned.

Before we were raised to life in Christ Jesus, we were only natural people, governed by the wrong spirit.

After the death and resurrection of Jesus, we could step onto the spirit path, because our spirits have been made new. The Spirit of God now resides on the inside of every believer. And The Holy Spirit can now work from the inside out.

When we look at ourselves we shouldn't see what the world says we are, we should see the image of Jesus Christ. That is how God sees us. That's what He says in His Word.

When we identify ourselves as something other that what God says we are, we are lying. Because God can't lie. He sees what we truly are in Him. We ought to adjust our understanding of our image to line up with what He sees.

As we see God more clearly in the scriptures, the more He gets brighter and clearer in our minds and in our hearts, and He also gets larger in our lives and a bigger part of our lives. We become brighter and more beautiful as we see God as He really is.

As He becomes brighter in our life, we start looking and living more like Him. This is the whole point. The more we receive the revelation and knowledge of our God and our minds, the greater the change in our lives from glory to glory.

The glory of God in our lives and on our lives is the presence of God in our lives and on our lives.

Why is He in us? He's in us to put us over. He is the greater one, greater than he that is in the world. We are to acknowledge and start developing that image of the greater one in us. We don't have to shrink back.

As He becomes brighter in our lives, we start looking and living more like Him. The more we receive the revelation and knowledge of our God in our minds, the greater the change in our lives.

The Path To Prosperity | Pastor Cheryl S Jackson | Grace Christian Center

You can catch the Spirit of Faith if you want to. You can win in life, knowing 1 John 4:4 is real - greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.

God never lies. His Word is truth. It is forever settled.

Somebody else's experiences (or even your own) don't supersede the truth of the Word of God.

Prosperity is just as real as the new birth. It came in the same package.

True prosperity is putting God first in every aspect. This includes your checkbook. Jesus gave up His riches in glory so that we might become rich.

If you're not able to follow in the footsteps of a person of God because you can't afford it, don't throw it away. Put it on the shelf. Take it to heart. And be diligent in your pursuit of it.

Not many things happen over night. Some things take longer than we expect. Don't give up. Don't stop holding on to the Word.

God told the serpent that One was coming who would bruise his head. The fulfillment of that promise took 4,000 years. Don't give up. God's Word came to pass then. It will come to pass for you.

Not only did Jesus bruise the enemy's head, He brought us back into full relationship with our Father God. That fullness includes prosperity.

To walk in prosperity, you're going to have to believe the Word.

God's vision imparted to your heart is supposed to be bigger than what you can do in yourself.

The first thing you ought to give is the Word. Give people the truth.

Give God the opportunity to get involved with your finances. He knows what is coming.

I'm endeavoring with all my heart to get you to a place that you don't have to think about prosperity, that you're living prosperity.
