Pray the Word: Activating God’s Power and Authority

You know, this church stands where everybody's welcome at the foot of the cross. I'm not so Baptist that we don't welcome everybody. I don't care what you did yesterday. All I know is I don't know what, but I know who the saving power comes from. Amen? [00:36:11] (22 seconds)  #AllAreWelcome

And he's called me he put 10 commandments into two, and he's called me to do this. He said, to love thy lord god with all the heart, mind, and soul, and the second is to love thy neighbor as thyself. And who's my neighbor? Anyone but me. Amen? Amen. And I have to do that to be right with god and so do you, matter of fact. Amen? [00:36:33] (20 seconds)  #LoveGodLoveNeighbor

And today, the sermon, we're gonna learn how we talk about activating our faith last Sunday. This Sunday, we're gonna talk about activating the power and authority in our lives. Amen? Do you know you have the ability to activate the power and the authority in your life today. I want y'all to sing that again because I believe it. That's a song that for this church. Amen.

``My Jesus is not mean. My Jesus is not hateful. My Jesus loves you right where you're at and says that he came, died on the cross to give you life and give it more abundantly. Amen? He said they'll know you are my disciples by the love you have for one another, not by the sharp words, not by the hate. Amen? But the love you have for one another.

I've heard testimonies that said, Kelly, that they asked the lord to save them and their life changed so completely and they never sinned again by listening to them. I don't know about you, but that didn't happen to me. Amen? I'm watching God change my life by moment to glorified moment even today. [00:42:53] (37 seconds)  #GrowingInGrace

If you think because you got saved, you got it all. Well, yeah, you got all of the power inside of you to do it. Everything because you became a joint heir with Jesus Christ. But it doesn't mean that you have all of the grace yet. And that it may be in you, but you don't know how to enact it. So we talked about enacting our faith. Now I wanna talk about something that's very dear, and I've missed it for a lot of years. I'm gonna tell you. I prayed wrong. [00:43:30] (30 seconds)  #EnactYourFaith

And see, when we start praying the word of God, we start believing the word of God. We start activating life changing authority instead of working from a place of hurt, a place from being a victim, but we work from a place of having that authority, god given authority as true children of god. You see over in Romans chapter eight, it says, we are joint heirs with Jesus Christ. We have been given the power that's been given to Jesus. Jesus said, and we read that over in Matthew chapter 28. He said, all authority been given to me and I'm telling you to go out, baptizing them in the name of the father, son, and the holy ghost, making disciples.

For through even for though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. We may walk in the flesh, but we ought not be warring with one another. Come on. We ought not be. We ought not. Hey. It shouldn't be named in the church of us, talking about one another, us talking. Hey. We should be even praying for the leaders we don't like. Well, how can you pray for this governor? How can you do that? Honey, because God told me to pray for those that have authority over me. That's how I can do it, Terry. He didn't ask me to agree with anything. He asked me to pray for him. Amen? [00:49:15] (49 seconds)  #PrayForLeaders
