If people do not see the power of God in churches, they will seek the power of another god elsewhere.
Churches today should be able to demonstrate the Power of God in their services because the bible says " you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be My witnesses"  Acts 1:8  

Our actions and our speech should show the world around us what the Lord has done in our lives.  We should be living epistles which are read of all mankind.  Our testimony should be one of truth and love.  Our speech should be seasoned with salt and light.
My speech and my proclamation were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and power. 1 Cor 2:4

Jesus is summoning us to walk in greater power than we have ever known before.  He is entrusting us to complete the mission that He began when He walked in this earth.  
When Jesus chose the twelve, " He gave them power and authority over all the demons, and power to heal diseases." Luke 9:1-3  Jesus is choosing you and I today.   He has given us the same power he gave to the twelve disciples so why are our churches so dead and dying?   People will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,  unloving, irreconcilable, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, without love for what is good,  traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,  holding to the form of religion but denying its power. Avoid these people! 2 Tim 3:1-5   Men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw yourself.  But godliness with contentment is great gain.  1 Tim 6:5-6


  Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.  John 14:12   Its time for the Sons of God to be made manifest.  Its time that we start walking in the Power of the Holy Spirit and do these GREATER WORKS that our Heavenly Father is commanding us to do! 

For God has not given us a spirit of fearfulness, but one of power, love, and sound judgment. 2  Tim 1:7
May you be strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for all endurance and patience, with joy giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled you to share in the saints'  inheritance in the light. Col 1:11-12

Our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.  He will transform the body of our humble condition into the likeness of His glorious body, by the power that enables Him to subject everything to Himself.  Phil 3:20-21 

God, who said, "Light shall shine out of darkness" —He has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of God's glory in the face of Jesus Christ. Now we have this treasure in clay jars, so that this extraordinary power may be from God and not from us.  We are pressured in every way but not crushed; we are perplexed but not in despair; we are persecuted but not abandoned; we are struck down but not destroyed.  2 Cor 4:6-9 

 





 

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened so you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the glorious riches of His inheritance among the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of His power to us who believe, according to the working of His vast strength. He demonstrated this power in the Messiah by raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His right hand in the heavens.  Ephes 1:18-20
