114 OTHER POWERS

The most evident proof of God’s presence and power today is His church. This generally means pastors, faithful church attendees and those bible pounding religious fanatics.

The unbelievers look at those Christians and, because they are not harmed and there doesn’t seem to be any ill effects, scoff at or ignore the evidence that God has placed before their eyes. They have their own people and things that are much more sinister to be afraid of; like terrorists, wild animals, charismatic magicians, supernatural cult leaders, over powerful governments, storms and natural disasters and other people that can do them harm.

The real truth is that any force or power seen in the world today is allowed by and restricted by God. Jesus defeated even death by the results of His sacrifice on the cross. Jesus showed us God’s power over everything visible and invisible when He walked this earth in person. Creatures seen and unseen, the earth’s elements, spirits and demons and life and death were all obedient to His commands.

God’s prophets throughout history were able to command things around them. They travelled through the wilderness unharmed, they walked boldly into the presence of powerful kings and spoke harsh words of warning to them and called down fire from heaven to consume battle ready solders. They even got out of God’s way while he wracked vengeance on those that opposed His chosen leaders; watching as God killed hundreds and thousands of those that hated Him.

The early church had the knowledge and faith to exercise this power also. People that joined God’s church and went against its teachings died and, the church was so powerful that the people, who did not want to know God, were afraid to join it for fear of dieing.

Because of the charity of God’s people, these powers were held back and allowed to become dormant. Unfortunately this has created a lack of faith that God can still control these elements, today.

Witches, magicians, hypnotists, fortune tellers, cult leaders, demons and all manner of evil creations have been actively promoting their powers. Seeking importance as super beings and little gods; trying to and succeeding to some extent to frighten God’s people into believing them.

Don’t be fooled, God’s power is still in the church and available to His faithful. There is nothing that one can see or do in today’s world that God, through His people, cannot do or stop. Those familiar with God and the way He does things are in the church in today’s world; assisting pastors, teachers and the faithful in their Christian growth and strengthening. Mostly, unseen and unthought-of but they can be found in the prayer meetings, home in their prayer closets and at their daily routines, talking to their God about the problems of His people and the opposition that they encounter.

Christian; when the problems seem to gradually melt away, you are encountering this power asked for by those faithful servants of God for you.

Unbelievers; if you’re picking on one or more of God’s precious children beware; God has powers and beings at His control that will make death seem like a relief. If life for you is getting harder and scarier, check out whom you are abusing; if its one of God’s own and you do not stop, life, for you, will only get harder and death and hell might come sooner than you expected.
