Smallest Seed

What power do they have? That's the apostle Paul's measure for authenticity. Some in Corinth seemed to question his apostleship, favoring Apollos over him. But these detractors were all talk--they could argue with high-sounding words and probably used scholarly theologies to refute Paul's teachings. But Paul said talk is nothing in the Kingdom. Zero. Photo by Lopez Robin on Unsplash . "For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power," he said. So he wanted to go to Corinth and find out   "not only what these arrogant people are saying, but what power they have." Kingdom is about demonstrating supernatural power. The church should go back to this and not waste time on human theology and titles and degrees on it. The church should desperately seek after supernatural revelation from the Holy Spirit that results to supernatural power. For an important spiritual help, click below: CLICK HERE!

For sure there will be a great deception in these end times orchestrated by the Beast and the False Prophet mentioned in the Book of Revelation. The aim is to deceive even the elect, if that were possible. It is clearly directed against the church, first and foremost, then to the world at large. Photo by Taras Chernus on Unsplash . Elsewhere in the bible we are given hints of how this will happen. Like what Jesus said about wolves in sheep's clothing. And the wide road to destruction. Some people will claim they are the Christ, or the Christ is "there" or "here," and lead many astray. However, no details are given on how this can take place effectively.  I mean, we know for a fact that Christ is in heaven and won't come back till the Second Coming. So how can Christians be deceived with the idea that he is already here? Satan will do it right inside the church. In fact, the deception was introduced even long before and is in progress now. He's using peo

A lot of believers online are trying to sound confident about the development of cured Covid cases, and I celebrate with them. In fact, lockdown policies would be moderated in some parts. This is welcome news. There's an increase in the number of patients surviving. Who wouldn't want to see Covid finally gone? But there are whispers about a second wave. [Picture by Nuno Alberto, Unsplash]. I believe God showed me a mental vision of how the church is now being pushed to a corner and gradually given no other option but to seek refuge in God's supernatural ways and power to solve the Covid crisis. Believe it or not, the ending of Covid is in the hands of the church--it depends on whether church would succumb to God's power or rely on what man could do. What Jesus Would Do I mean, even church today relies on the government for protection against Covid 19. Just imagine Christ seeking medical protection and food supplies or ayuda from Pilate's government because

The Covid crisis (especially the lockdown and the second wave) is going to force the church in a corner where it has no choice but to tap on heaven's supernatural resources. I hope I'm wrong, but some prophets say a second, deadlier wave is on the way. And if so, we're in for a really tough ride, I mean the church.  Photo by James Kovin on Unsplash . The thing is, we should get the message loud and clear now and not wait for a second wave to happen. God wants the church to get out of the Babylon system (worldly ways, man's efforts and denominationalism) and join Him in his supernatural move today, before the end comes. God's agenda is the total restoration of what he has given us before Jesus returns. God has given the church awesome authority, powers, spiritual gifts and supernatural abilities that not even angels and devils have seen since the beginning of time. But church in its incredible stubbornness just trashed all that and preferred it's own ways a

This is NOT a time for usual things. Much less for church traditions. If in CIY Fellowship we've been doing things so unusual, it's time to leave these "elementary teachings" and go on to the next level of maturity. As there's a new normal in the world, so there is in the heavenlies. Actually, the new normal in the spirit realms has started long before the one in the world came to be. [Picture by TedwardQuinn, Unsplash]. Just as the Jesus' spiritual church started long before man's church in this world started. Least is the Greatest In these last days, God is introducing some brand new things to the Philadelphia church [Revelation 3]. This church is weak (it has "little strength") and probably belittled and despised. The least church by all earthly measures and standards. But in God's eyes it is a 5-star general in his army, being in possession of an "open door" from the Lord that no one can shut. To this church Jesus ha

Here's Part 1 Imagine that poor guy in Mark 3 suffering from a shriveled hand a long time even if he went to the worship place (probably a long-time member of it) where God, the Healer, was supposed to be worshiped. All religion and no power. The "spiritual" high-ranking Pharisees were even there. I remember churches where pastors have titles and degrees, adept at their human theologies, and yet the sick there remain to be sick. [Image above by Kendal, Unsplash]. But Jesus did a spectacular miracle. You know what a shriveled hand is? "Shriveled" means wrinkled and contracted, says Google. It's atrophy and drying of a limb due to sickness, like extreme thinning of the hand and arm, and kindof twisted. See image below. The man in Mark 3 was suffering something like that. I imagine it to be severe, because the miracle created a sensation (besides being done on a Sabbath), so much so that the authorities wanted Jesus killed. Picture borrowed from thi

What caught my critical eye at once was the man with a shriveled hand in the synagogue in Mark 3. What was he doing there remaining unhealed? There were Pharisees around with the Herodians, so why didn't they pray for healing? Surely, their religious expertise have made them read about miracles and healing in the Old Testament done by God. But why did this man go on suffering from a shriveled hand? Why was there no miracle in the synagogue? [Picture above from Natanael Melchor, Unsplash]. What kind of synagogue was that? The members claimed to worship the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob but that man's hand remained shriveled--until Jesus came. Church is like that today. They worship Jesus, the Healer, but their very members remain sick and suffering from ailments. Even their pastors have maintenance medicines. Some even die of diseases or rushed to the ICU for serious medical attention. They know Jesus only as Savior. Jesus is a lot more than that. He is our Portion. Whe
