Are you a Real Christian?

We are talking about the power here to raise the dead. The same power that raised Jesus , Lazarus and others is available to us 24/7. It's also to be used to heal the sick and move any other mountain in our way. It looses chains both here on earth and in heaven. It binds spirits both here and in heaven and we were told to do this.

Matthew Chapter 16:17-20 Jesus replied, "You are blessed, Simon son of John, because my Father in heaven has revealed this to you. You did not learn this from any human being. ¹⁸Now I say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it. ¹⁹And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you lock on earth will be locked in heaven, and whatever you open on earth will be opened in heaven." ²⁰Then he sternly warned them not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.

As long as we try to bind a problem or issue in ourselves, it is bound on earth and God won't resolve the issue... It is bound here on earth, I have bound it, therefore, it is bound in heaven. If I release it to God for Him to resolve the problem, I have loosed it here on earth, therefore, it is loosed in heaven and God can and will resolve the problem or issue. I have let go and turned it over to God.

It applies to healing, salvation, learning, meeting our needs materially as well as spiritually. It applies to everything, but only for those of us who are God's children the elect, the chosen ones who answered his call. The people of the world can use their usual means for achieving success. They must use the laws of worldly business. Achieving material success through the worldly methods. These methods don't work well for those of us who are born-again and serve the true God and I am speaking from personal experience on this. Our success in the material world is usually limited EVEN HINDERED by world standards, because God is trying to show us HIS way on this. When he gets the glory, he will do even beyond what you could ask or think.

If we live for the things on this earth we will lose them plus our eternal life in heaven. We believers need desperately to be guided and empowered by the holy spirit who resides within us. We need to feed him daily the word so we can be ready when the enemy comes to steal and destroy and he will. But guess what, there is no need to attack a weak 'Christian', who has already given in to temptation. Satan attacks the strong and this is one way you can know you are in his will. If you are not experiencing difficulties in this life now, which are attacks by Satan, then check your faith, study of the word and prayer life to make sure it is what it should be. We actually are to embrace persecution as Paul did as that's when we know we are doing the right thing. Stand up for Jesus and he will stand up for us.

The power of the Holy Spirit is for us NOW and we need it even more as these last days are approaching and upon. The miracles, signs and wonders of the early church are also for us now. ALL OF THEM AND MORE as Jesus said. He said we will do even greater things than he did IF WE BELIEVE WE CAN. We simply need to rest in him and stand back and watch him move.

For someone to say healing, casting out of demon's, miracles etc. were only for the early church, I would simply ask them what of the ones who have experienced these things since then and even now? Are they all liars? My own grandmother was healed of stomach cancer and my father of a brain tumor, should I say it didn't happen, you only imagined it? How foolish a thought.

If you don't believe something guess what? You will never then experience it's joy and wonder, but don't look down on others who have experienced these things lest you blaspheme the very power thereof. If you don't speak with other tongues or prophesy, don't make fun of those who do, instead seek God for these things for yourself. If the church that you attend does not believe in these things, that gives you no excuse to go farther in God for yourself.
