What does that look like?

I’m hearing the phrase “what does that look like” over and over as of late as it pertains to how we operate as Christians in this world. What does it look like to mentor, what does it look like to be a citizen of the kingdom of God, what does it look like to love folks, and the list goes on. We were discussing, the other night at home group, why is it that when Christ physically left this earth he gave us authority and power………His authority and power to operate just like he did……….and we aren’t able to do it. The disciple did. Was that Spirit and anointing only for them and their day? That’s not what He said. So why don’t we have that kind of moxie? “What does it look like for us to be able to operate in the authority and power that Christ has given us?”

Then it dawned on me. We keep asking “what does it look like” because we are blinded to it. Generations have passed since men spoke and spirits got out of the way. Every generation has thought better of it and let the world and human nature sneak in and speak in their hearts distracting them and us from the truth. I mean we don’t need to fast and pray and take authority in power of your illness sister the doctors will have it under control in no time. Oh we will pray and maybe even fast but aren’t Doctors God provision and power for our day concerning illness now? Do we even believe that God can heel much less want to heal us or has He just abdicated that place of dominion to men? Now He said that we have every right to tap into His natural (supernatural) anytime because He left with us His authority and power to do so.

“Oh, but brother Dave, you have to be praying in the “will of God” for it to be effectual.” Isn’t it God’s will that His creation be perfected? After all, He created it perfect to begin with; it’s us who screwed it up. Healing is just one example.

So again the question, what does it look like? I think we have to get back to the beginning (to Scripture) and come to and understanding of the truth that allows us to accept that what he did and what he said is real without question. I think looking into the giants of the faith and what they found to be truth and accept it as real will also give us evidence to live by. We have to let our eyes and ears be opened by it so that the eyes of our heart can begin to see how great yet how accessible all that His Kingdom has to offer really is. Want to know His will? Creation perfected. His Kingdom increased. This means you and I and the universe set back into His natural order not our own understanding of natural order. All else will fit in nicely into this file.
