God said He was going to do something unusual last Friday night, and He came through. He gave a word of knowledge about "hips and a cell phone," so we asked if anyone knew someone with hip problems that wasn't at the service. Someone did, they exhibited the boldness to call their friend (not a believer, by the way) and told them that God was going to heal their hips. The young lady on the other end of the phone realized while they were talking that the pain, which had been severe for a few days, was completely gone. Very cool.
The message for POWER that night was that God is raising up members of the body to bring justice, judgment or divine order to restore those who are oppressed. As the body of Christ, it is our job to be the judges or deliverers that bring justice to those that are oppressed.
Judges 2:16 "The Lord raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them."
Isaiah 1:26 "I am going to restore your judges, as at the first..."
John 5:27 says Jesus was given authority to execute judgment (bring justice) because He is the son of man , not because He was the son of God. Interesting...
Obadiah 1:21 says that saviors, deliverers or judges shall come up from mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau.
Jesus gave us the authority (Luke 10:19) and expects us to get to work, delivering His children out of the hand of those that robbed them. We're talking about people who have been robbed by cancer, depression, poverty, diabetes, back pain...anything that Jesus paid for. We are called to execute justice and bring things into order, "on earth as it is in heaven."
