This isn’t temporary power. This isn’t seasonal anointing. This isn’t God just having a good day or somehow being in His prime. No—this is who He is eternally. Which means there will never be a moment when God wakes up and is less powerful. Come on! There will never be a season where heaven runs out of authority. There will never be a situation where God says, “I can’t handle that one.” And when you put it all together—yesterday revealed Him, and today proves Him.

When Jesus died, He went down—into that dark place. He went into the grave, and He declared, “I’m going down there to show the devil, to show death, and to show the grave—I will testify against them. My very life stands against them.” He proved that a sinless man could go down into the grave and rise again with the keys of death, hell, and the grave—victorious. “I’m going down… but I’m coming back up.” And everything had to answer. Yes—everything had to answer. Death was on the ropes. God showed that He has the power, and He has the authority. He did—and the grave couldn’t hold Him.

Suddenly, there came a sound from heaven, like a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. They were all together, in one accord. And there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and they were all filled with the Spirit of God. Together, the Spirit gave them utterance, and they began to speak in other languages. And it was an observable experience—people saw what was happening in the Spirit.

The Passage of scripture comes from James 5:13-20 | NKJV
13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 16 [j]Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, [k]fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. 17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. 18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.

Bring Back the Erring One
19 Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, 20 let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save [l]a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.
