Acts 1:8 ( But you shall receive #Power AFTER the Holy Ghost has come upon you; and you shall be #Witnesses UNTO ME both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the UTMOST PART OF THE EARTH. ) This POWER or ability is to be a WITNESS FOR CHRIST JESUS. A witness is someone who can TESIFY~ AFFIRM~ and GIVE CONCRETE EVIDENCE of what they have either seen, or experienced, or had a personal participation in what they are speaking about. Also this Holy Power and ability FROM ON HIGH is to empower you to not only witness for Christ Jesus; but to be AUTHORIZED & QUALIFIED TO SERVE in your gifts, and to walk in your Calling, and to have dominion over demonic & satanic operations, influence, and ALL OPPOSING FORCES to the kingdom of a God. Beloved! don’t try to DO the work of God without the POWER of God. Remember the Seven son of SCEVA ( Acts 19:14–16) NEVER try to DO OR SAY something in the Spiritual Realm, or in the name of Jesus: that you have not been AUTHORIZED by God do. Amen. (Be Blessed)

Being merciful to Others
St.Matt.7:3(” Judge not,that you be not judged. For with what judgement you judge, YOU shall be judged; and with what MEASURE YOU METE OUT OT OTHERS, shall be measured out to you again “) Now, some people have taken that scripture and used it as a crutch to become UNREPENTANT: and others have used it as a SELF RIGHTEOUS STAFF to measure the faults of others. Friend! Jesus is trying to get us to see that if we SENTENCE others with harsh criticism, and judgement, being unmerciful to them; then we will be treated with the SAME CONDEMNATION that we have displayed. Discernment and judgement are 2 different things: because we’re suppose to discern the fruit without discrediting & downgrading the person. If somebody isn’t living or doing what you think is right; then don’t condemn them, because they are already convicted in their own heart by their CONSCIOUS. Just try to correct them, and pray for their recovery out of the snares of the devil, and unrighteousness: because beloved! WE ALL NEED TO COME UP.
Law verses Grace
Rom.6:14 { For SIN SHALL NOT HAVE DOMINION over you: for you are not under the Law, but under Grace. What then? shall we sin because we are not under Law, but under Grace? GOD FORDID: do you know that Whoever you yield yourselves servants to obey; you are the servants of whomsoever YOU OBEY; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness. } This is the difference between Law and Grace: LAW says, I messed up, and I know it, but I can’t help it, and I can’t do anything about because I have a NATURE of sin and are automatically under the wrath of God~Ephesians 2:3) Okay! now GRACE steps in and says; because you are Born Again, and have become a new creature in Christ Jesus, you have been delivered from NOT JUST THE PENALTY OF SIN~ BUT FROM BEING A SUBSERVIENT UNTO IT: because with the Holy Spirit, you now have the ABILITY & STRENGTH TO SAY NO unto the will of the flesh, and of the mind which opposes the things of God. Did you hear that? You have power through Christ to say NO to any sin that seeks to dominate your life. Now! we do thank God that we are in the DISPENSATION OF GRACE, and not under the Dispensation of Law where we must bring some animal, or bird for an offering: but just because we are in the GRACE COVENANT doesn’t mean we can sin all we want; and just expect God’s Grace to accept our UnGodly BEHAVIOR & CONDUCT without consequences. Listen! God’s Grace is powerful enough to LIFT YOU out of a life of continually dominance of sin: but His Grace is also potent enough to KEEP YOU OUT as you cast yourself upon Him, and rely upon Him, and yield unto His Spirit in you to help you live a life that is PLEASING UNTO HIM, AND TO DO HIS WILL, AND WALK IN HIS PURPOSES. Now, We know that a lot of Preachers and Ministers don’t talk about these things; and they just tell you the good parts GOSPEL PROSPERITY, and not explain to you the PENALTIES OF WILLFUL DISOBEDIENCE. None of us have arrived, but we are striving. None of us are where we should be, but we are certainly not where we use to be either. Beloved, as Christ-Like CHRISTIANS; God expects us to let His Spirit work in us to be conformed to the image of His Son Jesus Christ. We represent God on earth to the world. As a Holy Nation of royal priesthood, we are held accountable to the STANDARDS OF GOD’S WORD: and are expected to disciple~ witness~ and win souls to Christ~ in our great commission of going about teaching all nations, and baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, in Jesus Name, for REPENTANCE, REMISSION OF SINS, and then telling them about the wonderful BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST: which endows you with power, authority, and ability to serve. I could go on and on with this, but I just wanted to write, and admonish people about GRACE: in which many people seem to be TAKING FOR GRANTED. ( Stay Blessed )
