Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear.

Isaiah 59: 1

The New Covenant Era is characterised by the divine power at work. God doesn’t stop performing wonders of salvation, healing, intervention in nature and so many other necessary wonders. As a matter of fact, the divine hand is operating everywhere and The Lord’s ears are always ready to listen to us; that’s the reason He’ll always answer us. Yet, He wants us to pray and to put His power at work. Therefore, do not fail to accomplish your mission assigned by Him!

The Gospel is The Good News which tells us that there is no barrier anymore between God and His people. And that’s the reason why we shouldn’t adopt the liturgical rites of religious people as well. This is the time for us to discover our rights and to assert them! Definitely, The Lord didn’t call us only to become members of some religious group but to effectively take part in His Body. That means that the saved ones are expected to become ministers of The New Testament, people who really enjoy the abundant life and preach it.

The power of God was bestowed upon us when we were baptised by The Holy Spirit. So, The Lord expects us to work as His effective ambassadors here on earth. Since all our determinations made in The Name of Jesus will be answered (I John 5: 15) we shouldn’t fail to enjoy this new prerogative and once and for all, we should start living a life free of sins; diseases and other misfortunes which would put to shame the good Name bestowed upon us.

The divine grace brought by Jesus Christ didn’t operate in our favour only for a short period of time but until the rapture of His Church. Therefore, the idea which allegedly states that God doesn’t heal any longer is false – He still performs healing, deliverance and wonders. Those who are spreading that lie are actually messengers of the devil. The Lord never changes! So, why not trust we can do the same awesome works our brothers in the past did?

The challenge is launched: the hand of God is not too short. Those who are wise will not let themselves be carried away by the enemy’s lies; on the contrary, they’ll use all the spiritual weapons granted to them by our Father. As Jesus said we can ask whatever we wish He made it clear that our faith is quite unlimited; He was straightforward as He assured us He’ll do whatever we ask Him in His Name (John 14: 13). Therefore, wake up and do begin spreading out blessings! This is the way the world needs you!

The Lord has no difficulties whatsoever to hear all our outcries and no difficulties to answer each one of our petitions. We are to blame ourselves for not assuming our position in His Son and, on account of that mistake, we happen to be constantly bursting into tears and urging for His favour. Listen, He won’t bring Jesus back to earth to teach us the lesson we should have already learned by now.

It’s time we stop weeping! It’s time we began singing praises to Him, smiling and exulting our God for our new identity in Christ Jesus. Those who daringly assert their rights get to learn that that was precisely what was missing for them to become true children of The Most High.

In Christ, with love,
