The other side of the cross

I need the baptism. I need the fire. I need the Holy Ghost filling. I need the touch. I need the healing. I want the power. Call it what you what you will, I want it. I'm tired of only a thinking man's Christianity. I'm looking for motivation, change, transformation and action. I need to not be told what to do, as much as how to do it.
A pastor I know said to me just yesterday, "We have allowed cerebral understanding of the word to interfere with the power." I'll go along with that. I want to get the ball and run with it right through all those steps and principles and propositions. Get the assignment. Get the power. Do it.
This is resurrection power. His power. His resurrection in this body. How about that? That's what's walking around in you today and this weekend. Be on guard; that's a lot of power you're responsible for.
Look not to the past, or to your grief, look to Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith, who has seen the other side of the cross. Too many on this side taking notes. Too many with their notebooks and folding chairs. It's over. We've seen enough here. Jesus has already been to the other side and it's His resurrection in this body. Time to live again.
