POWER PRINCIPLES.
Chapter 1: LIFE AFTER RELIGION.
Religion is man’s attempt to know God and involves rituals and regulations, works and words without power. Religion brings spiritual death. Power of God is the visible demonstration of His desire to reveal Himself to man. Spiritual power is God’s kingdom in action and brings spiritual life. The types of power are political power, intellectual power, physical power, financial power, military power, the power of energy and religious power. The call from Jesus is not to worldly power but to spiritual power. Power is the spiritual might, ability, force and strength. Authority is a legal and rightful power to act on behalf of another. Taking authority is the act of demonstrating power, possessing the right to exercise delegated power within defined boundaries. To possess the promises, you must choose to do so, you must understand the principles and you must apply the principles. Every biblical promise has two parts, the promise which is the content, the actual words and meaning of the promise and the possession of that promise. The basis of spiritual power is repentance.
