Speaking With Power And Authority

By
The Man Who Saw God Face To Face
Raphael Okechukwu Nweze


28 And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings,
that the people were astonished at His teaching,
29 for He taught them as one having authority,
and not as the scribes.
Matthew 7:28-29

What Speaking With Power And Authority Means
         When God said, “Let there be light,’ there was light. And when Jesus said, “Peace, be still,” the raging storm became quiet. Likewise, when a minister, soldier or saint of God is full of the Holy Spirit, he speaks with power and authority. Whatever he says is what God says. So it is, as it is.
         Every minister of God should be so spiritually enlightened and experienced to speak with authority, as a master of what he preaches. His statement is trustworthy because they are words of Almighty. Therefore, they are laws and commandments. They stand firm.

The Hopeless Situation
        The situation is so poor today, that majority of the ministers shy away from saying the truth. Even their polite sermons are words carefully chosen in order not to offend the heavyweights and bulldozers in the society. After many years of training in their seminaries, the only striking quality you would observe as prominent in the reverends is their boldness in the public places. Empty Boldness, Indeed!
        Being devoid of the Holy Spirit, they cannot teach the Truth, because the Truth is not in them. How can they speak the Truth, when all they learn in the seminaries and convents are man-made doctrines in place of the commandments of God. Their leaders, in their efforts to retain control over the junior ones, do everything possible to prevent the blossoming of the gifts of the Holy Spirit in the junior ones. And at ordinations, they make it compulsory that the new reverends swear an oath to continue to obey the dictates of the blind leaders, even when such directives are contrary to the direction of the Holy Spirit. That is why the ministers are always afraid of their leaders. that is why they readily tell you, "The Vatican said," "The Synod said," "The headquarters directed that." It is good to obey the leaders only when they are right and moving according to the dictates of the Holy Spirit.
        I must warn you that many of the good teachings God gave to the world have been turned upside, without the people knowing it. That is why many end up in the hell fire. Then, it is too late. That is also the reason why many who underwent training in the seminaries and convents are not performing. See how the new pastors, prophets and ministers God is raising up today is beating them hands down (excelling them in the vineyard.). You must learn to seek the Truth, not church or religion. Until you by-pass religions and churches to find the Truth, you will not be able to enter the kingdom and speak with authority.

How To Know The Truth
        "You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free!" John 8:32
        Indeed, you will be amazed when you know the Truth. And reading one holy book is not enough.
        For the comprehensive knowledge and explanations of the Truth you seek, read the book, Know The Truth And Set Yourself Free!

How To Make Oneself Full Of Holy Spirit
         "But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." John 4:23-24

How To Speak With Power And Authority
         When you know the Truth and submit to the Spirit, you shall become full of the Holy Spirit, which is the Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Prophecy. Then you become one with the Almighty. God's will becomes your will. Only then shall you speak with power and authority.

He who knows the truth,
     speaks the truth without fear or favour,
being guided by the wisdom of the Holy Spirit.

He who knows the truth
     Becomes one with the truth.
Therefore, he reigns supreme
     And
None can intimidate him.
