The Church will BE powerful and REMAIN powerful when it allows Jesus Christ to be the head and reign supreme! Does anybody know how much authority the Church has? Jesus said, "T will give you the keys to the kingdom of Heaven." I would say that HE has given us a lot of authority! When someone gives you the keys to their house, or their car, or anything else, they are authorizing you to gain access to places. Now, how much authority do you think the Church has, considering we have been given the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven? In the Great Commission, Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus proclaimed that He had ALL AUTHORITY in Heaven and on earth. That;s a lot of authority! Then He said, "Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations..." REVIVAL, like we have planned in Windom, Minnesota! We are to fit the song, "Onward Christian Soldiers" But have we become "Backward Christian Soldiers" that is one of my questions today for all of us to think about.
