Why, with everything we know about Jesus, what we know about faith and the word, do we see more signs and a greater manifestation of the power of God among us? In the same way I also asked the question, because constantly, people are asking for prayer and interceding for them before God, to be healed or simply to get out of the critical condition in which they find themselves. The reason is that many of us asked for his power, but we still do not walk in his love as he had demanded to be worthy of his power or his representation as leaders.
God wants us to have his power, but because of our sinful nature, he wants to be sure that it will be used in love. Truth, blessing and edification and that we are not going to mix with the condemnation, criticism and severe judgment of others, especially against those who for some reason are not to our liking in disagreeing with us. God can not endorse a word one day in the morning, if in the afternoon or the next day, you will insult someone because he crossed on the road or in the channel where you drove your car. Because you had that power you would make it fly in a thousand pieces. Or even worse if you would use it to convince someone for your convenience, lie or run a rumor. "Almighty God can not allow his power to come out at full force from the mouth of a person needed without mercy and with any amount of expletives, that whoever hears it has the certainty that satan speaks.
It takes spiritual maturity, firmness, security and much love to handle the power of God, when we are children we tend to play with everything we have, to our imagination we believe that everything we have is a toy in our hands and we do not measure the consequences of what we do with what has been given to us.
Let's look at this example: When you are young you want to learn to drive because you love being able to walk in a car and show others the greatness and pride you already drive, that's why you ask someone who already knows and he has a lot of experience to teach him but this connoisseur, do not easily seat, but test your patience and your true interest, but as you are not interested in waiting or learning patience, go with the best friend willing to teach you, and together he begins to do of his, to overtake vehicles where it is not allowed, to pass the signals of the traffic light; This would not have been done by someone who knows that it can only cause an accident, commit an infraction or worse still be stopped because it hurt someone, but you do not think about it, you can not see it,
God bless you greatly
