Imagine being so little of a threat to the enemy, that not only do the demons not recognize you, but even Jesus doesn't acknowledge you as one of His own. “Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ (MT 7:22-23) Many people claim to serve God, some even profit as spiritualists, performing ‘miracles’ or imitating God. But as scripture shows, God’s power is bigger than anything in this world, and the forces of darkness will never be able to truly replicate it, or undo it. Real power comes from real authority. That is the authority of Christ.
Acts 19 - The GENUINE Power of God.

Confidence in the Spirit
Paul's confidence was his faith. In Acts 23 Jesus told him he must be a witness in Rome. He was sure at that point that this storm and shipwreck would not be his demise. He was confident that the God that set him on this mission would provide a way for him to complete it. Even if he didn’t know what the next step would be, or all the details, he trusted that God had a plan. And that plan would be ministering to the people of Malta in the midst of his own crisis. The story of Acts does not end here. The spirit still lives on and works through God’s people. Where do you see the spirit working in your life?

Almost Dangerous
October 31, 2023 • Pastor Spencer Fusselman
Paul's belief in the fact that God can, has, and WILL raise the dead, is the source of his boldness. In our lives when we are called to be as bold we ‘Almost’ get there. We narrowly miss the mark because too often we forget that God can raise the dead! Instead, we say “People don't change” and go on living in our own ‘Christian’ bubble separate from the world where we are safe, but we make no real impact. Paul's life was anything but safe, and as a result, he left a HUGE impact on the kingdom.
