We are still seeking to fully understand the meaning of the mystery of the Kingdom of God, when Christ would be revealed to humanity. The struggle that seemed invincible and spread to all people came with the birth of Jesus. He came to teach us to be more than conquerors in every aspect. However, because people transformed the Truth into a powerless religion, everyone suffers from the lack of God's power.

We are suffering from the evil done in the 2nd century, around the year 150, to Montanus, a pastor who healed the sick, cast out demons, and brought the lost to the same level of faith seen in the days of Jesus on Earth. As the Roman Empire criticized the Church for being monotheistic, and its apologists gained the support of the people, the Church decided it was necessary to rely on culture and study rather than on the power of God.

Today, in leaderships where there is no reverence for the Word, those who make arbitrary decisions contrary to the example left by the Savior prevail. The mystery that had been hidden for millennia was revealed with the coming of Jesus. However, the lack of reverence for Christ's true and fruitful teachings causes people to live outside the plan prepared by the Father. Thus, many churches teach carnal doctrines.

The Holy Spirit has been working throughout the Earth, leading millions of people to surrender to the God of wonders. The Almighty used prophets to announce the coming of the King and Messiah, when everything would be explained. Jesus is the Messiah who came to give life, and life in abundance, to all who follow Him and do His work (John 10:10). Why would we have life and do nothing, if He gave us the example of how we should carry out the divine work? Pray!

Jesus did not become victorious by chance, nor through the power of any emperor. Christ's victory came through taking our place and dying for us. Those who understand this sacrifice and surrender to the Savior declare themselves His servants. In the battle against Satan, the Son of God went alone into the realm of death and defeated the power of Hell, suffering our pains, sicknesses, transgressions, and iniquities (Isaiah 53:4–6). We need to learn to do the work!

The Church must return to the teachings left by the Master of masters, the Lord, who is the Word of God and the Creator of everything that exists in the material universe and in the spiritual realm. Without a doubt, we will be victorious when we accept that we are God's messengers to accomplish the same works as Christ. This assurance came from His own lips (John 14:12). Examine yourself!

We must believe in the work of Jesus on our behalf, the mystery hidden for centuries. Never let yourself be dominated by anything evil. We are the agents of the Most High in this world to act like Him and fulfill the ordinances of Scripture. We do not have to submit to the powers of evil, but rather follow the guidance of Heaven!

In Christ, with love,
