POWERS OF THE AGE TO COME

LISTEN TO AUDIO VERSION

Heb 6:5

who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age,

NIV

What does it mean to taste in the powers of the coming age?

Rom 8:23(AMP) tells us that we ourselves too, who have and enjoy the first fruits of the [Holy] Spirit [a foretaste of the blissful things to come] groan inwardly as we wait for the redemption of our bodies [from sensuality and the grave, which will reveal] our adoption (our manifestation as God's sons). What hinders the manifestation of the true nature we have as sons of God (the walking in limitless power and glory) is this flesh of sin that we have.

The powers of the coming age are the powers that we will walk in when our bodies have been redeemed. There is so little we can say about this except that we know that for instance, the physical irrational creatures, like trees, hills, waters were created originally to respond to the command of humans, for instance, we should be able to walk on water, speak to a mountain to be moved and it will respond, speak to trees to wither and they will respond etc. But this really is not the case now because we (humans) are still in the fallen state. One of the reasons the creatures groan is because they cannot fully express themselves for we who have been ordained to order them have also been greatly limited in our ability to express ourselves).

Even though we may not walk in all these powers now because our bodies have not yet been redeemed, we can taste some of these powers because of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit enables us to walk in some of these powers; He gives us a foretaste of the things to come.

This study reveals that our relationship with the Holy Spirit and our crucifixion of the flesh is expedient if we must taste of these powers in this current world.

Go into today knowing that it is God’s plan for you to walk in the powers of the age to come.

PRAYER: Dear father. I thank you for your love. I pray you help me walk constantly in a sweet fellowship with the Holy spirit that I may taste these powers. In Jesus name.
