Jun 12, 2025

Overview

This message focuses on the spiritual principles and practices necessary for experiencing, manifesting, and sustaining divine power. It emphasizes the importance of encounters with God, hunger for His presence, and practical steps for building spiritual authority and capacity, alongside live demonstrations, prayer, and testimonies.

Accessing Spiritual Realms and Divine Power

  • There are deeper places in God which require spiritual journeying to access the fullness of His glory.
  • Different beings in heaven (angels, elders) participate in divine governance and spiritual court sessions.
  • Humanity is uniquely designed with “Christ in you” as the hope of glory, giving access to divine mysteries and power.

Core Principles of Compelling Power

  • True spiritual power is not theoretical or psychological but rooted in real encounters and transformation.
  • The pursuit of God and revelation is essential; religious routine alone is insufficient.
  • Power is necessary for advancing God’s purposes and cannot be substituted by intellect, eloquence, or manipulation.

Pathways to Spiritual Power

  • Encounter with Jesus: Genuine power begins with a direct transformative experience of Jesus.
  • Move of the Spirit: Power is sustained and increased through the continual infilling and activity of the Holy Spirit, signaled by unending hunger for God.
  • Building Power: There are four Greek concepts for power (exousia, dunamis, kratos, ischus), each developed through specific spiritual disciplines and consistency.
