When I was Saved by Jesus Christ, I didn't become soft or someone who you could walk on or mistreat. When I became a Christian, I didn't become quiet and introverted. When The Holy Ghost got a hold of me and now resides in me, I became someone that evil people with evil intentions had to be concerned about.
You see, when I open my mouth and speak The Word of The Lord, demons tremble, things begin to change, situations get fixed, people feel better, relationships are mended and hope is restored!
Just because I rather love, forgive and pray doesn't mean I'm weak. What it does mean is that I'm operating in "Power Under Control".
You better recognize who you are dealing with because God didn't create and redeem wimps. God created us in His image and in His likeness! Now that I'm Saved and have been sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, you ought to be careful of how you try to handle me. You see, I am a child of The Most High God and in Him, I have been given power and authority and I am Called to use both!
Same for all of God's people...you have power! So, get out from behind closed doors. Get active in your community. Be the visible, walking, breathing, living and vibrant church who will take a stand against injustices and every detestable and evil work of the enemy.
Together we can make a difference both through prayer, faith and then putting that faith into action.
God's Word confirms all of this and more. Check it out for yourself and know who you are in Christ Jesus!
"But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8 NKJV)
