Luke 6:17-19 (NKJV) And He came down with them and stood on a level place with a crowd of His disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and be healed of their diseases, 18 as well as those who were tormented with unclean spirits. And they were healed. 19 And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all.
Plain and simple. Here is it. Are you ready? The touch of God releases power into our lives.
Jesus needed power when He walked the earth so why wouldn't we? As a believer, a Christian, you have the power of Christ. There is no question regarding that. However, the question to ask and to be answered by you and you alone: Do you operate in the same power as Jesus did when He walked the earth? I am not asking if your spouse operates in the same power as Jesus did when He walked the earth. I am not asking if your parents operate in the same power as Jesus did when He walked the earth. I am not asking if your deacons, elders or pastor operate in the same power as Jesus did when He walked the earth.
The questions: Do you operate in the same power as Jesus did when He walked the earth?
Only you can answer for you. Even if you do not see your deacons, elders, pastor, spouse, parents or anyone else operate in the same power as Jesus did when He walked then earth, you are accountable for you. Do you? He gave His power to anyone who would receive it. Have you positioned your heart, your mind, and your body to receive the power Jesus gives those who will receive?
I do not believe there is anything wrong with the gift nor the giver of the gift. I believe the hang up is with the receiver. Did you receive?
Luke 10:17-20 (NKJV)Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.” 18 And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”
The seventy received; and, even the demons were subject to them in the name of Jesus. Jesus told them, "I give you the authority...over all the power of the enemy..."
Matthew 28:18-20 (NKJV) And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
Acts 1:4-8 (NKJV) And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; 5 for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” 6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. 8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Five hundred were there, when Jesus commissioned them to do the work of the Gospel but only 121 went to the upper room to wait on the Holy Spirit. Does your life reflect you being one of the 121 who waited for the impartation of the Holy Spirit, or 379 who we never heard of again?
The multitude in the opening Scripture references power coming out of the Jesus when the people touched Him. Are you pressing into Jesus to touch Him? Now, Jesus is asking the disciples to press in and wait. He will touch them with the power from the Holy Spirit when He comes upon them.
The touch of Jesus brings us power to overcome the enemy as well as to go and make disciples.
Father, today I position myself to receive the power You give. I seek to receive from You. I ask for the Holy Spirit to come into my life and fill me to overflowing with Your power. I desire to walk boldly, with courage to share the Gospel with all people. I tell fear to go in Jesus name. I receive Your touch of power to release healing to those in need. In the new outbreak of COVID, I ask for You to hear my prayers and extend Your healing to those who are struggling. I pray for pain to go in Jesus name. I pray for peace in their respiratory system to come. I pray for cleansing all over their body in the might name of Jesus amen.
