Holy Ghost Fire: Not Just for the Big Men of Faith
<p>Before we start, somebody play me 'Superpower' by Limoblaze, because what I have to say today is going to fill you with the power.</p><p>But of the Holy Ghost. </p><p>About a month ago, I attended a vigil and saw someone cast out a demon; Mind you, this was not a pastor, just a church member. He commanded the filthy things to ‘get out’ of the young lady, and it was that passion and audacity that inspired me to take my walk with God seriously and also to write to you today.</p><p>But my God, you should have seen that power.</p><p>Now, I have to break it to you. You can do that too.</p><p>My mom once told me she wanted to see a pastor about something, and I got a bit annoyed, not because she was wrong, but because she insisted on seeing a pastor when she could have handled that problem herself, as a recipient of the gift of the Holy Ghost.</p><p>Sure, pastors have certain advantages because they are called to that role and have greater intimacy with God. But God has also asked us to do everything Christ did on earth.</p><p>What I loved about the vigil was being encouraged to do what pastors do—to pray for others and bring healing to others. At one point, while I was praying, I didn't feel qualified to pray for someone's healing because I saw myself as less than the great pastors we have on earth. </p><p>Don't look at the "giants of faith" and think, "That's only for people who pray for hours and never mess up in church. I'm just trying to get through my week."</p><p>Sometimes we treat the supernatural like it's only for a select few. But if you look at Jesus, His followers were just regular people, flawed, confused, and ordinary, who just said "yes."</p><p>Take Peter, for example, baba even cut off a soldier's ear and denied Jesus three times. </p><p>As you grow in your faith, remember that spiritual power isn't restricted to some people. The same Holy Spirit who worked miracles in the Bible lives in you. When you step out in faith, whether you pray for a stressed coworker or trust God's promises, you make room for miracles. Your hands are blessed, and you are anointed, okay?</p><p>You can do amazing things, too, not because you're perfect, but because the Holy Spirit lives inside of you. I can't wait to see and hear all the powerful things you will do!!</p><p>In faith,</p><p>Your fellow powerful Christian, Twi-Twi</p>
