It’s Time the Church Woke Up & Got Amazing Part Two

Acts chapter 3: 6-10 The Church needs to get to the place that they’re doing the same thing Peter did here, bringing forth signs, wonders and miracles that will bring forth wonder and amazement in the eyes, not only of the world but of the religious establishment. 
I’m going to tell you something, religion will stifle Christianity. Religion will put a muffler down on true Christianity. The true Christian is not only born again, but the true Christian is born again, filled with the Holy Spirit, filled with power, and going around and doing amazing deeds that will amaze and astound the religious community. 
It’s time the church woke up and got amazing. It’s time we woke up to the point that God has called me to do signs and wonders, and miracles.  He’s called you, too. 
If you’ve been studying any of my articles that I’ve put in The Net magazine, you have found out that because of his grace, even though we’re undeserving,  his grace has provided everything we have need of to be victorious and over comers in this world now.  We found out we don’t have to wait to get to heaven to receive the ability of God. 
Why are we going need it in heaven? I’m not going to need healing in heaven. I’m not going to need deliverance in heaven.  Amen. I’m not even going to need finances in heaven.  Dear Lord, my parking lot’s going be gold.  It’s what the word says, that the very streets are paved with pure gold. Glory to God, you get a little short, you just go out and sweep a little dust off the streets, hallelujah.
We are the recipients of everything that God has called us to be. You may not be walking in it, but it’s available and it’s there.
I was raised in a denomination that believed all that stuff was finished, that it was over. I was amazed when I found out that it wasn’t over with, that I had been taught wrong all those years. I was in that certain denomination for 24 years. And, as far as I was concerned all that stuff that was in the bible was finished, it had passed away. 
But it’s not.  It’s not passed away.  It’s not going to pass away until Jesus comes.  The word says in  1 Corinthians 13:10 “But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.” And that which is coming, contrary to popular belief is not the New Testament; it’s the second return of the Lord. So, until Jesus comes again everything that the bible said we could do, is still in effect today.
John chapter 9 verse 4. Now, this is Jesus speaking. Jesus himself says I must work the works of God. Now I was truly amazed. I looked this up in one of the other translations. It’s the new American standard, which many theologians believe it is a little closer to perfect than the KJV, it doesn’t say I must work the works, it says we must work the works of God. There’s coming a day when we will not be able to minister in this world. But, until that day and until Jesus comes and shuts this thing down, it is day and we must be working the works of the Lord.
Now, Jesus said he’s the light, Amen. Verse 5 says as long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. Has Jesus ascended? Yes he has ascended.  See, it says that as long as I’m in the world I am the light. 
Turn over to Matthew chapter 5. Verse 14 says you are the light of the world. And a city that sets on a hill cannot be hid. Jesus said as long as I’m in the earth I am the light. But he says you are the light. When you received Jesus as your lord and savior, he came in you and you became the light of the world. You became the enlightening force in the earth. We keep waiting for God to do something. “Well, God my loved ones, they are all lost, they are going to hell. Do something.” Well I’m going to tell you something, he's already done something. Hello. Matter of fact, he’s already done all he’s going to do. Because when he got on the cross, he said it’s finished. It’s a finished work; it’s a done deal, if you will. 
It’s over with, I have finished the work. He says as long as I’m here I’m the light, but I finished my work here on the earth. He says, now you are the light. You are the power, you are the ability. You may not be able to do it. But Christ in you can do all things. That’s why Paul made the statement I can do all things through Christ Jesus which strengthens me. I can do all things.
The first trip we went to Costa Rica, lady came up for prayer, and the Lord gave me a prophetic word that there were those at that meeting that were going to be healed. They would just come up and get it. This lady came up and I didn’t know what she was talking about, because I don’t speak Spanish. I laid hands on her and the power of God hit her and she laid out on the floor for the longest. And we set there and watched her change right in front of our eyes. Her complexion was an ashen gray. We found out later that she was dying of heart problems. The Lord put a new heart in her body. We watched her pink back up, her complexion changed, it got pink, her lips pinked up, they had been blue, actually gray. 
We were there the next year and that lady showed up. This time she was dancing and praising the Lord with a new heart. I don’t take any credit for this, it was all God. All I did was lay my hands on her - God did the rest. Jesus says as long as he was in the earth, he was the light, and now he says you are the light. 
It’s time the church woke up and got amazing. It’s time we let God work through us to bring about those signs, miracles, and wonders, amen.
