Acts of Grace 4
POWER TO EMPOWER COMPLETELY- Part 4
By Pastor Henry

In the year 2010, the prophetic ministry will be sharpened. Many great prophets with no fear or favor of man will arise and so will false prophets. How do you know the difference? I wrestle with God about this and this is what the Lord said to me - every prophet God raised from Genesis to Revelation was a voice for the oppressed. And every one of them they stoned them to death.

Jesus said to Israel, “Which prophet didn’t you stone?” The messages of true prophets were not popular and were not well accepted. But today, we have all kinds of prophets going all over the place and all they do is gather offerings. They rob the church. If they are not feeding the poor, clothing the naked, speaking for the oppressed, or living a holy life, they are not representing the God of the Bible.

Read 2 Corinthians 11, Paul will tell you the true credentials of an apostle and prophet. They were the ones who shouted, “Repent!” The ministry of John the Baptist lasted only 6 months, and in the end he lost his head. Please, beloved, I say to you, there are many false prophets in Malaysia who tell you how to strike lottery and who to get married to, don’t run around for such “prophecies”, it is nothing but carnality.

Today the church is more equipped than ever before, we have more doctors within the church, more master’s degree holders, more millionaires, and enough buildings all over the world - the church is the richest organization in the planet and yet we are not getting the Great Commission done. People are not getting saved because we are building Christian clubs and not churches. May God help us so that this does not happen here.

This year, there will also be a greater emphasis on the word of God. All ministries will diminish if they do not use the word. The word of God will penetrate every wall man has built and every wall Satan has built. The word of God will go where it has never gone before and Christians will begin to preach the word wherever they are. You don’t need a title in front of you. Jesus was just called Jesus, God in flesh, he walked among us and was one of us. The marketplace is going to explode with soul winners! People will not be afraid to pray in the office, nor will they be afraid to bless somebody. They will not be afraid to lift somebody up or bring somebody to a fellowship. We will be having “church” all over the place!

Regarding the Passover, the Lord’s Supper, it will be set free from religious buildings and religious people and be sent back to where it first started, in the home. Moses instituted the Lord’s Supper when he was in Egypt, it was observed in the home. Jesus came and had the Lord’s Supper in the home. But the religious people have taken it and imprisoned it in religious buildings. Beloved, the time is coming, I’ve said this for many years, and in many places, the Holy Communion, the Lord’s Supper is going to be released from being imprisoned all these years by the church so that it can come home, so that the father and the husband can break bread with his wife and children. God wants to ‘go home’ and not be bound in the religious buildings..

Father, husband, I say to you, God believes in you. You can break bread for your family, the same Holy Spirit is there. He says, wherever, whenever, whoever gathers in my name, I will be there. Break bread, pray for the sick, cast out devils, you have the power, it has been given to you. You are powered to empower others! If somebody is possessed with a demon, cast it out from him, why bring him to church? You are the church! Hallelujah! God believes in you! It’s time you start believing in yourself because he has given you the power, every believer shall do it. And the Passover, I’m encouraging you, don’t be afraid, Pastor Henry gives you the authority to break bread anywhere, in your home, in your cell, in your office, and let the presence of the Lord be there. As often as you can, Jesus said.

And let every woman begin to light the light in the home. Listen mother, listen wife, listen sister, listen daughter, God has given you the privilege of bringing the light back to your home. If the light has gone out anywhere in the home, you have the power to bring it back. Yes, Eve put off the light but Mary brought the light back. So, women, this year, the 10th year of the millennium, is going to be a year many women are going to rise up in leadership in the world and in the church.

Today everything that man does, it has been proven that the woman can do better. There are more women in almost every nation in the planet. Singapore has put up a law because there were more women in the university, more lawyers, more doctors, more in high positions in society and in the corporate world, and they are putting a stop to it. The Bible says it’s a bad sign because there are so many women around but the men are few. Worse still, the word of God says, the children will begin to lead.

Like all revivals, it begins with the women, goes to the children and finally, the men have no choice but to follow. So, men, please release your women. Men, please recognize God’s given them something and the reason he gave you the authority is so that you can release them, so that both of you will exercise dominion together. He did not say the man alone. He said the man and the woman together. Woman by herself is not possible, nor is man by himself, he’s tried for 6,000 years and it’s not possible. Two shall agree and it shall be done, that’s what the Lord is saying. Hallelujah, God will complete it!

Finally, those who have been rejected, those being put aside for any human reason because of rank, position, education, gender, popularity, race or whatever it may be, this is the time where God is going to give these overlooked ones a chance. The oppressed shall begin to arise and the faceless and nameless will begin to accomplish what the ‘great’ ones were not able to do. You are going to see this rise all over. Year 10, you are going to see a lot of great things the ordinary people will do and God will bring it all to completion. Praise the Lord!
