“My message and my preaching were not with wise & persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power.”
1 Corinthians 2:4

Some weeks ago at CKRM Leadership Training Centre in Malacca, a lady was arguing about a certain gift of the Spirit which she was in disagreement. While she was contending, the Holy Spirit put a hammer on my hand (Jeremiah 23:29). I asked the lady to look at what I was holding in my hand. She turned her face away in fear. (This lady was at the Florida Lakeland Outpouring with Todd Bentley for 4 months which the Lord prepared her heart. Instead, the Lord blessed her with many gifts of the Spirit at CKRM Malacca).

Then, the Holy Spirit came upon her (Acts 1:8) and she manifested in the gift which she was opposing. Thus it ended the argument and she instantly repented of her unbelief.

2 Corinthians 10:3-6, “For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretention that set itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. And we are ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.”

Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”

Below is part of the article R. Loren Sandford wrote on ‘The Last Days Anointing’:-

“The best didn't die with the apostles; the best is yet to come. When the Holy Spirit comes in power, all arguments end. It's similar to Elijah challenging the 450 prophets of Baal to a duel. "Let's offer a sacrifice, and the God who sends fire on the sacrifice, we'll acknowledge He is God.” (1 King 18:18 -40) When God sent fire to consume the sacrifice, the altar and even the water in the ditch and around it, the people fell on their faces and cried out, "The Lord! He is God! The Lord! He is God!" Thus, the argument was settled completely.

It's time for a massive confrontation with the prophets of Baal, a growing movement of Christians empowered by the Holy Spirit challenging the powers of darkness in public with healing and prophetic words, unashamed, demonstrating God's power and love. Believers, regardless of who you are, God wants you to be an essential part of this end-time army of God.

Paul wrote to the Corinthians: "But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I shall find out, not the words of those who are arrogant but their power. For the kingdom of God does not consist in words but in power" (1 Cor. 4:19-20).

The test of true Christianity--as opposed to the false--is the demonstration of power. Not a doctrinal test, but a power test! Before us right now is a season in which the power of God is being poured out to minister signs and wonders in the public eyes like never before.

Let's not allow fear to defeat us. Fear destroys hope. Hopelessness leads to self-centeredness. Self-centeredness leads to powerlessness. And powerless people don't change the world.”

马六甲 CKRM 第一季报告—第二部份（神的国是一个有能力的国）

“我说的话、讲的道，不是用智慧委婉的言语，乃是用圣灵和大能的明证“
（ 歌林多前书2:4）几个星期前在马六甲超自然事工训练学校, 一名女士在争辩一个她不同意的恩赐。当她在与我争辩的时候,圣灵将一把“锤子” 放在我手中 (耶利米书 23:29)。我叫她看看我手中拿着什么。她害怕地把头转向一边。(这位女士曾用四个月的时间出席在托德本特利在佛罗里达湖泊的圣灵布道会。主用那四个月准备她的心。主在马六甲CKRM祝福了她许多恩赐)。接着,圣灵降在她身上 (使徒行传1:8) 她就彰显出她所不同意的恩赐。争辩因此结束而她也立刻为自己的不信认罪悔改。

歌林多后书10:3-6 说, “因为我们虽然在血气中行事，却不凭着血气争战。我们争战的兵器本不是属血气的，乃是在神面前有能力，可以攻破坚固的营垒，将各样的计谋，各样拦阻人认识神的那些自高之事，一概攻破了，又将人所有的心意夺回，使他都顺服基督。并且我已经预备好了，等你们十分顺服的时候，要责罚那一切不顺服的人。”

何西阿书 4:6, “我的民因无知识而灭亡。”

下面是劳伦桑福德在‘末日的恩膏’所写的一段:-

“最好的没有跟着使徒死去; 最好的还未来临。当圣灵彰显祂的能力,所有的争论就结束了。这就象以利亚挑战事奉巴力的四百五十位先知。"你们求告你们神的名，我也求告耶和华的名。那降火显应的神，就是神。”(列王纪上18:18 -40) 耶和华降下火来，烧尽燔祭、木柴、石头、尘土，又烧乾沟里的水。众民看见了，就俯伏在地，说：耶和华是神！耶和华是神！" 争论就因此完全解决了。

现在是大力对抗巴力的先知的时候, 越来越多基督徒被圣灵恩膏，好让他们能靠祂的能力医治, 发预言来挑战黑暗权势。这些基督徒对自己在大庭广众显出神的能力 并展现出神的大能与爱并不感到羞耻。信徒,不管你是谁,神要你成为祂末世军队的一部分。

保罗在写给哥林多人说: "然而，主若许我，我必快到你们那里去，并且我所要知道的，不是那些自高自大之人的言语，乃是他们的权能。因为神的国不在乎言语，乃在乎权能。"(歌林多前书4:19-20).

基督教真正的考验---能对抗假的---是能力的示范。不是教义的考验,而是能力的考验!摆在我们面前的是一前所未有的季节，一个神的能力在公众眼前彰显出来，神迹奇事就这样发生。

不要让惧怕击败我们。惧怕消灭希望。没有希望会导致一个人自我为中心。自我为中心导致一个人丧失能力。丧失能力的人不会改变世界。
