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.
