Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus,

Attending a good bible-based church should result in corporate power evidenced by godly manifestations. However, a significant number in the Body of Christ have scant revelation knowledge by the Holy Spirit because they seek God only within those walls. These are they who become bored or easily distracted when not entertained, and perfectly content with being spoon-fed the WORD of God for a few minutes once or twice a week. These are they who come with the hope of “feeling” something sans revelation knowledge that faith has nothing to do with emotion. These are they who enter-in, hoping that the Spirit will “come down” sans revelation knowledge that the Spirit of God lives within each Believer; hence He comes with them. Attending church should result in a display of corporate power to such an extent that the saved can hardly wait for corporate prayer, and the un-saved await the opening of its doors. As relayed in CKMusing256, Kenneth Copeland (2011) reiterated a phenomenal statistic: that of 2.2 billion worldwide Believers in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, a significant number are not Bible believers. Such necessarily reflects a belief that, except for salvation, little else in the WORD pertains to them on a personal level; as though Abba Father’s gift of redemption through the saving blood of Jesus is acceptable but further favor is not; hence no confidence to ask. One example is the Believer who, ‘though struggling from paycheck-to-paycheck, is adamantly opposed to any Spirit led teachings pertaining to abundance. Thoughts that abundant life is synonymous with greed are of the fiery darts of God’s enemy because the wealth of kingdom citizens has nothing to do with hoarding for self. The Blessing is to establish God’s covenant in the earth. That is, we are blessed to be a blessing: to replenish every desolate place, bring healing to the sick, and God’s compassionate love to the broken-hearted; not for self-aggrandizement but to the honor, praise, and glory of God. Sons and daughters of God are to exhibit the faith of Abraham and Sarah who believed what God said about his seed as the dust or stars (if countable) even though both were old. Or like Mary, when the Angel brought God’s message that her first child would be God with us, who even having known no man responded: “be it unto me”. Or like the Roman officer whose faith declared: “just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed” Matthew 8:8b (NLT). Or in the manner of the other Shunammite Woman who twice refused to speak anything into the atmosphere other than “It is well” before reaching the Prophet Elisha. The Sovereign LORD works through us because He gave man dominion over the earth and nothing out of the mouth of God returns void; and Jesus having taken back the keys of death and Hades has given us authority in His Name for its use. (John 16:13; Eph 4:30, 2:8-9; 1Jn 5:14-15; John 10:10 [AMP]; Luke 12: 16-21; 2Pe 1:3; Phi 2:13; 1Ti 6:17; Proverbs 10:22; Isaiah 61:1-6; 2Co 9:8-11 [AMP]; Genesis 13:16, 15:5-6; Luke 1:38b; 2Ki 4:23-26; Genesis 1:26-28; Isaiah 55:11; Rev 1:18; Matthew 28:18; Mark 16:17; Luke 10:19; John 16;23-26).
