Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin because of humanities one problem: everyone has sinned. However, there is one solution: Jesus Christ. Jesus can and will free you from the power of sin, if you confess Him as Lord and believe that He died and rose again. This will bring you into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

In order to defeat the tempter, you need to be aware of his lies. There are three main lies that he uses, and when you realize he is using one on you, you can defeat him with the sword of the Spirit. However, before you pick up the sword you must be in the girdle of Truth. Victory is assured, but you must fight!

God has power for His Church and power for you! This power is available if you will ask the Father for Jesus the Son to baptize you with the Holy Spirit. This is the same power that took Peter from denial and hiding out to boldly proclaiming the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and thousands were cut to the heart and were saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

The Church should be the evidenced power of God on the earth. We should offer salvation, healing, purpose, and redemption by the power of God. We should confront sin, falsehood, and the enemy of our souls with the weapons God has given us. The world needs a Church full of power. The Church needs Christians full of power to be the Church. You need the power of God made available form Pentecost.
