KENNETH W. HAGINThis is our timeto preach the Gospelwith the <strong>power</strong> of God inmanifestation.<strong>We</strong> <strong>are</strong> a <strong>power</strong> <strong>generation</strong>.availableJuly 1stPreorderYour CopyToday!NewRELEASEFromKenneth W.Hagin!Our daily lives <strong>are</strong> surrounded with<strong>power</strong>. <strong>We</strong> have <strong>power</strong> appliances, suchas refrigerators, ovens, dishwashers,and microwaves. Our garages <strong>are</strong> filledwith <strong>power</strong> tools that include saws,drills, and routers. <strong>We</strong> drive vehicleswith <strong>power</strong> engines, <strong>power</strong> brakes,<strong>power</strong> steering, <strong>power</strong> locks, and <strong>power</strong>windows. It seems as though we can’tsurvive without <strong>power</strong>.Political leaders in our nation andaround the world <strong>are</strong> concerned withthe balance of <strong>power</strong>. Economists closelywatch the <strong>power</strong> of one currencyagainst another. Militaries around theworld <strong>are</strong> wary of the weapon capacityand fire<strong>power</strong> of their enemies.<strong>We</strong> <strong>are</strong> a <strong>generation</strong> that is consumedwith <strong>power</strong>. <strong>We</strong> demand it in every <strong>are</strong>aof our lives except one. In the churchworld, not having any <strong>power</strong> is readilyaccepted.Today, a church in which the <strong>power</strong>of God is manifested is not the norm.When a church does rise up and demonstratethe <strong>power</strong> of God, it is brandedas wild.What has the Church come to?Where has the <strong>power</strong> gone?Transmitting God’sPower to the WorldI do not believe that we who <strong>are</strong>called by the Name of our Lord JesusChrist have a right to take a <strong>power</strong>lessGospel to a lost and dying <strong>generation</strong>.Acts 1:8 says, “But ye shall receive <strong>power</strong>,after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:and ye shall be witnesses unto me. . . .”This verse shows us that when wereceive the Holy Spirit, we receive<strong>power</strong>. It’s time for us as Christians tostart demonstrating the <strong>power</strong> of God tothose around us.<strong>We</strong> should not be satisfied with thestatus quo. <strong>We</strong> need to rise up and decl<strong>are</strong>,“I’m born again by the blood of theLord Jesus Christ. I’ve been baptized inthe Holy Spirit and I speak in tongues.And I have the <strong>power</strong> of God in my life!”God wants a people who will standin the gap for this <strong>generation</strong>. He islooking for those who will go into thehighways and byways and not just askthe lost to come in but compel them tocome in. God desires a people who willtake His miracle-working <strong>power</strong> to thesick and dying.When was the last time you laid yourhands on someone and prayed for theirhealing? This is not something that onlypreachers should do. The Great Commissionwas given to every believer.Mark 16:18 says that when any believerlays hands on someone who is sick, thatperson shall recover! Not might recover,but shall.Let the ChurchArise!This is our hour! <strong>We</strong> <strong>are</strong> here forsuch a time as this. This is our timeto preach the Gospel with the <strong>power</strong>of God in manifestation. The ApostlePaul understood this. He said in FirstThessalonians 1:5, “For when we broughtyou the Good News, it was not only withwords but also with <strong>power</strong> . . .” (NLT).<strong>We</strong> cannot, we must not, and we willnot be satisfied with a <strong>power</strong>less Gospel.<strong>We</strong> must be known as the people whopreach the Gospel with <strong>power</strong>! <strong>We</strong> mustfall on our faces before God and seekHim until His <strong>power</strong> is demonstrated tothe world.It’s time to be known as GenerationP—the <strong>power</strong> <strong>generation</strong>—the <strong>generation</strong>that has the manifestation of God’s<strong>power</strong> in our lives.Will you join me and make a commitmentto be part of a band of believerswho boldly invade the world of darkness?Will you take the <strong>power</strong> of God tothis <strong>generation</strong>? It’s time for us to quittalking about the <strong>power</strong> of God.
