Bible Reading: Acts 1:8, Psalms 18:44

Memory Verse: The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart— These, O God, You will not despise. Psalm 51:17 (NKJV)

The power in brokenness is tremendous. You do your spiritual life a lot of damage and havoc when you are not broken and you refuse to die to the flesh. Brokenness has to do with dying to live. John 12:24 (KJV), “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.” Except there is death to the flesh, there cannot be life spiritually. In God’s ladder of promotion, the way up is down. That is, you kill your flesh. 

There are no stars without scars. There is no crown without a cross. This is where many believers miss it. God values broken vessels who will be able to demonstrate the power of God in their time. We need to exercise that power. We need to be endued with power of God from on high. We need to operate by the anointing. Also, we need to know that power is measured out according to: I. Your faith, and II. Your self-crucifixion.

So we in this generation need to start living and moving in the spirit. We need to enforce the legal right of the Christian. We need to get to the level where, wherever we appear, the enemy is in trouble. Are you there and you have not received the baptism of the Holy Ghost? It is a tragedy. You must do everything in your power to be filled with the Holy Ghost. Jesus said “you shall receive power after the Holy Ghost is come upon you” (Acts 1:8). When you come to Christianity, there are two pathways: A. Path of salvation. B. Path of power. You may decide to go through the path of salvation: surrender your life to Jesus, get born again, confess your sins to the Lord and thereafter begin to live the way Christ wants you to live. Following that, you will make heaven; no problem. However, you may still suffer from some of the oppressions of the enemies, the enemy may still hold one aspect of your life to ransom. Hence, a need to explore the path of power.  Christianity is power. The pathway to power starts with the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues. The forces of darkness some of us are confronting are stronger than the power we currently possess. Hence, you must invest in acquiring the power of God through prayers, fasting, meditation on the Word of God, impartation and by living a broken life; and fight. Furthermore, we need the power of God to walk in signs and wonders if we must expand the frontiers of the kingdom. Except these people see signs and wonders they will not believe.

Quote: The purpose of God and the power of God is available to every man – G. Campbell Morgan

Prophetic Decree: God shall arise in His power and all your weaknesses and troubles shall be scattered, in Jesus name. 

Prayer Focus 

1. (Bow down your head and talk to the Lord) Whatever will prevent me from being a man or woman of power, no matter how much I love it, Father take it out of my life, in the name of Jesus.

2. (Point your finger to the ground) O ground, hear the Word of the Lord, swallow my battles, in the name of Jesus. 

3. Powers stealing from me, in my dreams, you are liars, die in the name of Jesus.

4. Powers undergoing demonic training, because of me, die in the name of Jesus.

5. (Pray this 3 hot times) Power from on high, overshadow my life, in the name of Jesus. 

6. Strange spirits, chasing away my miracles, expire, in the name of Jesus.
