The Dunamis logos !

1 Corinthians 1.18 - The message of the cross is an aberration for those who are lost, but for us who are saved : it is the power of God.

This verse probably upsets our conception of the message of the cross ! We believe that preaching the cross of Christ is an evangelistic message. So we excluded him from our meetings with the faithful, believing that he does not build the church. However, if I understand the Word of God correctly, the message of the cross contains the power of God for us who are saved !

How many of us pray for more power, more anointing, more charisms, more spiritual authority, more... And we offer ourselves the luxury of putting aside the “logos” that will trigger the “dunamis” " of God. Now, we really need that power of God to bring the lost to repentance. The world doesn't need a religion, no matter how pretty, it needs the Church to demonstrate the power of the cross.

What is wrong with us, my beloved ? We have not understood the full potential of the work of the cross ! We stopped at a few basics like salvation that saves us from hell. We have neglected to proclaim justification, sanctification, healing, victory over sin, victory over the devil, liberation from the Law and the curse, the power of transformation... and so many others that are the consequences of the resounding victory of the seed of the woman (Jesus) who crushed the head of the serpent (the devil - Genesis 3:15).

My beloved, if we want to see a reform of the Church of Jesus Christ, and it is urgent, it is essential that we return to a full understanding of ALL the message of the cross. Let us realize that all of history converges on that unique moment when the Father and the Son were separated : the cross. If we have to give a year zero to our calendar, this is it because there is one before the cross and one after the cross.

Everyone agrees that we are at the end of time. One thing is certain, it is that the Elijah who is to precede the Lord will loudly proclaim the message of the first church : Christ crucified, power of God for those who believe !

Good reflection.
