The Demonstration of Power – A Dialogue
LC:
This thing of church and religion has conditioned or
geared us not to reach into a higher level beyond the
teaching we have known from the Bible itself. It is a
whole new realm out there that no one has walked in
before. And that is why they without us (Hebrews) are
not made complete. Because we are to walk in what we are
walking in now and it will all come together. And I kept
thinking about Gehazi, and when Elijah touched him and
opened his eyes to see that greater were those with them
than those against them. We don’t realize how much not
seeing ministers unbelief. When we speak of the gospel
going to the ends of the earth, everyone thinks the
gospel is just the word, but the word going to the end
of the earth and the gospel is different. Because the
gospel comes with both the word and power. It wasn’t
just the word. It is nothing to get the word out, we
could take and email all the way around the world, but
what we are talking about is the power, and that is the
difference when you speak of the "word" and the "gospel"
because it was not just the word, it was to be a
demonstration of power. There are words everywhere, but
it is the demonstration of power.
CE:
So Christ spoke the word over the 70 and said, Go out
and minister. Because that was the gospel. It was a
demonstration of power that the 70 walked in.
LC:
There are a lot of people on the corners preaching
words, and you can’t argue with them, but where is the
demonstration of power. That is what the gospel is.
CE:
Some have a word and a smattering of power. But this is
not what we are talking about.
LC:
Another thing, we have seen the demonstration of the
power of God in sprinklings through individuals, but as
a group we have not seen this. It will be a group that
comes together and walks in this power. This is what is
unfolding. We will not need to be concerned with
personalities or some agreement - because if you are
demonstrating the power - and as we see it demonstrated
as a group – that is the thing we are looking for.
Anything else we are doing does not compare to this
demonstration of power. And even this thing of oneness,
which has been so shrouded in the religious concept of
everyone running around "liking each other" etc. has
nothing to do with this. As if they get the highest
manifestation of the flesh and call it oneness. The true
oneness will be standing and demonstrating the power
together. The oneness we are talking about is not based
on everyone doing the same thing; oneness is a meeting
place in the heart of the Father where things happen.
And if we are waiting for perfection before we move, it
won’t happen. Who was perfect? You go back in the
chronicles of the prophets and who was perfect? None of
them. But yet they moved in the power. Forget
perfection, give me the power.
CE:
You can’t tell me when Elijah called down the bears to
kill the kids in the story of the old testament that he
had a good spirit. They called him baldy, and he called
down the bears on them.
LC:
Our concepts have all been screwed up, and that is what
we are getting out of. That is why when we talk of
seeing, everyone tries to look with their eyes - but how
much more. When we talk of seeing, the greatest will not
be seeing the angels and all of the ethereal things, but
it will be to see God in us, and in everyone else. That
is the greatest ability of sight that we can have. All
of these other things are cool and will help us, but to
see through the eyes of God ...then we will know exactly
what to do. It is like our perception has been out of
focus, and we are adjusting the "sight". But not just
see, but see with the power. Because if you can’t see
the ways of God, then how are you going to do the ways
of God. It seems so simple now, but it’s here.
CE:
Old order says the word with signs following, but that
is not the way it is, we will follow the signs. The
signs do not follow the word. There is a completing of
the work before you even get there, so you cannot take
the glory.
LC:
It is just like when Christ was born. For 12 years the
star had been present, and that is how the Magi knew to
come. It wasn’t that they saw Christ and then the signs
came, the sign was there drawing everyone. And we are
seeing the same, and we are being drawn to it. Instead
of just running blindly, hoping that we will run into
something. But we are seeing the signs, and that is what
we are pursuing. And the closer you come, the bigger and
clearer it gets. So, if you are not seeing it and doing
it, how are you going to know what is happening... you
will become like everyone, becoming fat and content in
the word, but there is no growth. And so you eventually
die. The word itself will not sustain. It must be the
word with power.
CE:
There are groups and churches and other worldwide
ministries out there, and they are attracting more
people, but percentage wise, the power has remained the
same. It hasn’t changed.
LC:
And even their drawing of people is based on something
they had 30 or 40 years ago. And even that has eroded.
The power and demonstration has really eroded, and all
they can do is just talk about what they did.
LK:
We can identify with Christ, which is what and who we
are in this age, or we can identify with the
transference and conditioning which we have grown up
under. Whichever you identify with, will draw those
energies to you. And if you identify with Christ, in all
that He is, that will have to manifest fully within you,
because that is the truth. - Christ is unlimited, and so
are we. We have accepted too much of the conditioning.
The only thing which could circumvent this would be
yourself, and your perception of yourself. Your
thinking. You pull out the conditioning, you get rid of
the block.
LC:
The first thing which Isaiah said when he met the Lord,
was woe is me. And so, we too, are still too used to
seeing ourselves through the conditioning, instead of
seeing through the eyes of Christ. It is us accepting
and doing, and not basing anything on circumstances.
JK:
It is time to stop living as paupers.
CE:
We have not understood that it is already happening.
LC:
Our keys are being tuned, and each one of us is a key
being tuned to the same pitch, but different notes. And
it will come together. It is so much about energy and
vibration and understanding what God is bringing forth. |
