Teaching from Friends and Guests

The Late Pastor Gary Cooper

YOU SHALL RECEIVE POWER

Greetings in the name of Jesus who is the true Son of God,

I greet you, the pastors and elders, and workers of all nations that has been marked by the Holy Spirit of God to accomplish God's will throughout your land and unto the nations of the earth.

As the pastor of New Life Ministries International I speak to you that we have entered into the greatest hour of demonstrations of the Spirit and the power of God that the body of Christ has ever known. In the book of Acts a revival takes place that changes the face of the body of Christ and as a result during this revival it says that the followers of Christ are called Christians for the first time. Before this historic revival at the city of Antioch we were known as "Followers of the Way", but in this revival something happens and we are no longer called followers, but we are called Christians. This implies that we went from following to being one who demonstrated. One who demonstrated the anointing of the Christ and the anointing that opera ted in the apostles. This is what is about to happen to your generation, to the generation that walks the earth at this time. God is going to pour out His Spirit through tremendous signs, wonders, and miracles.

After this shall come a season of tremendous harvest where the nations of the earth will come to the knowledge and to accept Jesus as the Son of God, and this is all part of your destiny. Do you hear what I am saying? Do you hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying, "Unto this generation I am speaking from the throne of Heaven for you to arise from your circumstances and your situations and to arise unto the anointing of the Spirit of the Lord and to go forward and to demonstrate the Spirit and the power of God through signs, wonders, and miracles and to prepare your hearts for the harvest which will be from every nation, from every tribe, and from every family."

For this to be accomplished we must recognize how we are to walk, to live, to speak, and to make decisions as Christians. Acts 1:8 says, "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judae, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." This verse declares that after we have been baptized with the Holy Spirit we shall receive power and that power has a very specific purpose, and that is to enable us to become witnesses.

Do you hear what I am saying? Each of us who are baptized in the Holy Spirit have received power. The same power that spoke the worlds into existence, the same power that raised Jesus from the dead, and the same power that convinced you that Jesus was the Son of God and for you to accept Him as your Lord and as your Savior. Jesus said in the book of John chapter 7 that out of our bellies would flow rivers of living water. Inside of me, inside of you is the anointing of the Holy Spirit of God and John the Baptist said that Jesus did not give the Spirit by measure, therefore when each of us received the Holy Spirit we received His fullness. Therefore we take upon the ability to create, the ability to produce, and the ability to operate from the life of God.

We have been baptized in the Holy Spirit and received power to be witnesses. Witnesses of what? The first five days of the church speaks to us what we are to be witnesses of. What I am about to share with you is our purpose upon this earth. It is what we are to be accomplishing as we journey through this life.

Number 1 Acts 2:4 says, "And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." The main purpose of the power of God is for us to be a witness of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. We must not be ashamed of this great gift of God, but we must be willing to witness by testimony and by demonstration amongst every nation of the earth. It is our responsibility to testify and to demonstrate the baptism of the Holy Spirit by speaking in other tongues, by prophesying of Jesus and by living a lifestyle that is acceptable to God. The world needs to know the true Jesus, the true Christianity, the true Christian, one who is filled with power and is willing to be a witness of that power.

Number 2 Acts 3:4-9 says, "And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. 5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. 6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. 7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God:" It is our divine responsibility to receive power to be witnesses of signs, wonders and miracles.

In a service one night there was a woman who died from complications with her heart. After several moments I took her by the hand and I commanded life to return into her body, and she was raised from the dead. This is the power of God in operation through signs, wonders, and miracles.

In a service one night in the desert of Mexico there was a woman who had a tumor growing in her throat and as a result she could not speak or sing. I laid hands upon her and the tumor disappeared and the woman lifted her hands and began to sing praise unto Jesus. This is the power of God in operation through signs, wonders, and miracles.

In Guadalajara they brought in a little boy who had never walked because his legs were like rubber. I took those legs in my hands and twisted them around like a rubber band and then I commanded them in the name of Jesus to be made whole and instantly his legs received strength and he leaped from his mother's arms and began to run for the first time in his life. This is the power of God in operation through signs, wonders, and miracles.

Blind eyes, deaf ears, cancers, tumors, goiters, crippled legs, crooked backs, marriages that are torn apart, and children who have gone astray from their families are all subject to the power of God in operation through signs, wonders, and miracles.

Number 3 Acts 4:33 says, "And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all." We have received power to be witnesses of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus.

Out of our mouth should come a constant flow of the greatest testimony that can be given amongst mankind and that is the testimony of the resurrection of Jesus who through the power of holiness was enabled to rise again from the dead and to conquer death, Hell, and the grave. God has given us power to be a witness to testify and demonstrate the resurrection power of Jesus Christ by being an example to the nations of the earth that through testimony and demonstration we raise the dead. Jesus taught us how to deal with devils when He said cast them out. Jesus taught us how to deal with sickness when He said heal the sick. Jesus taught us how to deal with the dead when He said they were to be raised. In this generation we must become bold concerning the demonstration of the power of the resurrection that flows through our veins and through our fingertips to the nations of the earth so I speak to you in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and cast out devils, heal the sick, and raise the dead.

You are a great people and it is your responsibility to take the ability of God which is His power and to be a witness. A witness of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, a witness of signs, wonders, and miracles, and a witness of the resurrection power of Jesus.

I leave you with a prophetic word from God as part of New Life Ministries you have stepped into a season of tremendous demonstrations of the Spirit and the power of God and it will be followed by a great season of harvest.

Prepare your hearts, prepare your bodies, and prepare your families for the greatest Sovereign move of God that man has ever seen. For it will come to this earth and it will come to your hands and it will flow from you unto the nations of the earth. Love God, care for one another, and pray for me. As for now as I release the anointing of the Holy Spirit of God upon your heart and upon your life receive it. Receive the strength, receive the wisdom, receive the power of God, and receive it now in Jesus name.
