Praise the Lord! I pray you all are enjoying Gods many blessings. I feel particularly blessed, I just spent a wonderful week with my wife, and on top of that we became Grand parents last Friday.Our Son became a father at 12:45am Friday morning his fiancee gave birth to a nine pound baby boy named Daniel Jr. PRAISE THE LIVING GOD!! BABY "DAN" IS BORN!!
This is what Jesus meant when he told peter "When you are converted, strengthen thy brethren "(Luke 22: 31+32)
This is the "Afterbirth" That is missing in so many christian lives, the reason for the lack of power in churches all over America. There is a power shortage at a large number of churches including the church I go to. If it weren't for the power that God charged our Pastor with there wouldn't be any power at all there. Acts 2:1+3 states
Now we are praying that they get married and raise him up in the way he should go. The night baby Dan was born my wife and I went to a Revival service at our church and we knew it was going to be a "hot" service because of all the stumbling blocks put in our way by the "enemy" as he tried to keep us from attending, but we were determined to get there as long as the elevators were working and they were. We arrived in time to catch Praise and Worship and by the time it was over you could feel the anointing coming down from heaven. The spirit of praise was in the building, people were actually entering in to Gods presence. That was something I had never seen before from the faithful at First Church. People were lifting up holy hands unto the Lord, they were crying out to God. You could see God breaking up the stony hearts and setting captives free.
This was something I had been praying for from the time I fist joined "First Church." That night I could see God beginning the birthing process for the change that is coming. Every one in that sanctuary except maybe one or two were born again Christians, having professed Christ as Lord and savior but they have not experienced the "after birth." Peter is a perfect example of what I mean. Peter was the one who said "Thou art the Christ the son of the Living God." (in Matthew 16:16) Peter knew who Jesus was and even said he would die for him, but just like today's believers he could not back up what his mouth was saying. When the going got tough he denied Christ three times. Jesus knew this would happen because Peter, though he could be considered born again he had not experienced the "afterbirth".Acts 1:8 states
8But 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 Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. This is what Jesus meant when he told peter "When you are converted, strengthen thy brethren "(Luke 22: 31+32)

1And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
They were with one accord according to Gods word, one accord with who? One accord with themselves and with the will of God! Some churches are in one accord with each other but not with God. They pursue their own agenda's and ignore the prompting of the Holy spirit. In Some all are seeking God but can't connect with each other because of all the jealousies and back bitings going on. We all need to get on one accord, one church, one faith and one baptism. We need get passed profession of Christ and tap into the power of God, only then will we see signs and wonders.
When a baby is born something follows that event, it's called the "afterbirth" or placenta and most people think it is something you throw away. But the placenta or afterbirth is used for many medicinal reasons.including certain creams and lotions. After our spiritual rebirth the spiritual afterbirth should not be thrown away but sought after and used to give us the spiritual power we need to make a difference in this world for Christ.
