Killing the power within

June 17, 2010

Pt. 1

By: Shone Bagley, Sr. – Ordained Minister / M.C.C.

Shone Bagley, Sr.

What I am about to say will shock you…it is all about telling you that the Kingdom of God is at hand…

If you were to define “God” better known as “el,” you will find that it means “power” or “strength.” Therefore, “God,” meaning our Father the Almighty God of Heaven and Earth simply means, our Father in Heaven and Earth is all “powerful and strength.” This is a fact, as well as being the children of God simply means that we are the children of power and strength. Therefore, with the understanding that we were formed in the image of God and the Spirit of God breathed into our nostrils, then we as children of God are equal to God meaning in form and power.

Philippians 2:5-6 (KJV) 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

God has all power within Heaven and Earth and we as His children have power on earth, called dominion. The shock for some is to know, in all that you just read, nothing has changed from Adam up until you reading this now. The only thing that has changed from Adam up until you is the disobedience onto God our Father in Heaven by not keeping His commandments. This is why Jesus was and is so important; we needed a pure lamb that allows death to pass us. We needed to be saved from death, so through Jesus’ blood our sins were washed away so we can present ourselves obedient onto God, by keeping His commandments.

What religion has been keeping from you is the fact of knowing who you are in God. In fact, the majority of so called Preachers/Teachers have been keeping you enslaved so they can, just as the system of the government has, get rich off of you; the poor stay poor, as the rich get richer. If you don’t believe me, drive down the street of any black community and see if there is a grand church or two, of some kind of denomination, while the community itself is falling apart.

We have churches on almost every corner preaching about Jesus, while some are collecting your money and do not have the basics to help those who need it. Everyone wants to be a leader, but not enough have the guts to roll up their sleeves and help the people who need it. Again I ask, Where is God – where is the power that they speak of? What good is Jesus saving your soul while your spirit is dead in hope?

Follow me now:

Temptation is something that we all will have until the end of time; however, to be tempted is not the same as falling into sin! You have the power through the blood of Jesus and the commandments to overcome sin; just know that Satan will always tempt you.

Matthew 4:8-9 ( KJV ) 8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him (all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them); 9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

Point 1 – The kingdom of this world is so different than the Kingdom of God. What has been happening to the people by the so called Preachers/Teachers, is that they’ve been directing the people to look at the kingdom of this world. They are using “God” to give you the riches of this world, knowing Satan and within his power will give you all you ask; it’s been called, “prosperity.” Be aware when you call out “God” it might not be the God of the Heaven and Earth, but it might be from the god called Satan. Remember, “all these things will I give thee” the scripture states.

The fact that you call out God does not mean it is the God of Heaven and Earth. Keep in mind when you call out “God” you are calling out “power.” Satan has the “power” to give you all that you desire from the kingdom of this world. So, is the God you say thanks to, is it truly the God of Heaven and Earth? How you would know is by… to be continued.

From your loving brother
