The Central Nexus of Spiritual Potency
Galatians 6:14
In order to comprehend the potency of the divine entity (namely, the revitalizing vitality associated with the resurrection of Jesus) within the confines of mortal existence, it is imperative to contemplate the profound sorrow experienced by God. Detach yourself from your individual preoccupation with your own spiritual state, and approach the contemplation of the divine tragedy with an unreservedly receptive mindset. Upon immediate reception, the divine force of God shall manifest within your being. "Direct your gaze towards me..." (Isaiah 45:22). It is imperative to direct one's focus towards the external source in order to cultivate and harness internal force. The reason for power loss can be attributed to a lack of attention on the appropriate subject matter. The Cross yields several outcomes such as salvation, sanctification, healing, and others. However, it is not within our purview to actively promote or preach any of these effects. Our primary objective is to proclaim the message of "Jesus Christ and His crucifixion" as stated in 1 Corinthians 2:2. The act of professing Jesus will inherently yield its own effects. It is imperative to emphasize the central focus on God in one's preaching endeavors. Even if the audience appears disinterested, their transformative experience will be inevitable. When I express my own thoughts, their significance is no greater than the significance of your thoughts to me. However, when individuals engage in the act of exchanging the veracity of God's teachings amongst themselves, they will inevitably come across it repeatedly. It is imperative to direct our attention towards the significant aspect of spiritual potency, namely, the Cross. By maintaining communication with the aforementioned locus of authority, the potential energy it possesses becomes manifest in our personal experiences. Within holiness movements and spiritual experience gatherings, there is a notable emphasis on the outcomes resulting from the Cross rather than on the Cross of Christ itself.
The contemporary critique of the church's perceived weakness is deemed valid. One factor contributing to the lack of strength is the absence of emphasis on the authentic source of spiritual authority. Insufficient attention has been devoted to the calamitous event that transpired at Calvary, nor have we adequately explored the profound significance of redemption.
