God's Power or Politically Correct

Hey Christian, how far are we willing to go with political correctness?



A belated Merry Christmas to all, not “happy holiday”! Are you confused about political correctness? When customer service folks or store checkout people issue the “happy holiday” greeting to me I cheerfully smile and say, “Yes, Merry Christmas!” More often than not I get a relieved response, which indicates they are under orders not to mention anything that would “offend” the wrong folks. Thus we should not be disgusted with the person, but the way we have yielded to an anti-Christ movement in our nation. Is it possible that we Christians are the ones who should get offended?



When Jesus taught us to “take no offense”, He did not in anyway mean that we were not to fight for what is right or what we believe. The Jesus who gave us life through His death was not a pussycat at all. He dealt harshly and directly with the politically correct, the moneychangers and the RELIGIOUS of His day. Do any of those ring a bell for you? Are you aware of any of those right now? Any observation of the news and the dynamic events of this year will illuminate all of the above. So why do we tolerate all these attacks on the knowledge of The God of Peace, our Lord and Savior, Jesus, the Anointed One! Do you feel any fight in your bones right now? If you do then that means that you are potentially ready to do something outside your comfort zone. If you have no fight in you for the Gospels sake, perhaps it is time to ask God for some fire in your belly. Fire to reignite the power that is resident in every believer, the dunamis, dynamic power of the Holy Spirit. God used that power to create numerous miracles and to raise Jesus from the dead.



The Bible declares, “I can do all things through Christ…..” Here Christ means the anointed one and His anointing. Thus, I can do all things through the powerful anointing of Jesus Christ Himself! There is no higher nor mightier power on earth or in any heaven which dare compare to the very power of The Holy Spirit. Behold, Jesus declared, I have given you (each and every believer) power and authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions (evil of all kinds), go with that power, take that authority and go do something!



God used no man or woman to bring the gospel in person to me. God used no man or woman to personally bring a message of believing God (faith) to me. I would daily do what I saw in the word and began to learn from powerful men of God through tapes and books. As I would exercise the name of Jesus over situations, some people would get saved, some would get healed, some delivered from darkness, agriculture crops would be restored, threatening storms averted and countless other victories. Even this year, over 30 years later, a young woman was brought to Sandee and I for help. She had been diagnosed with cancer and was filled with much fear. She had no concept of Jesus but as we ministered to her in faith, the power of God took over. She gave her heart to Jesus and then the power to overcome fear came. The cancer was bound and today she is healed of cancer. God did it but we had to risk something to activate the power to work on her behalf.



What are you willing to risk today to experience God’s power working for you?
