"This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all" (1 John 1:5).
If one manifests the power that only God can perform, it clearly reveals that such a person belongs to God (Psalm 62:11). When the light of power comes upon people through such a person of God, the enemy devil and Satan and any forces of darkness have no choice but to go away, all kinds of life's problems are resolved, and diseases and infirmities are healed by the light. God's power has a few different levels and each different level of power shines different lights, and thus, the kinds of work that are manifested according to its level also varies.
1. Definition of spiritual power
What is this 'power'? It refers to the authoritative power that is bestowed by God to those who have cast away every form of evil and become sanctified. Speaking allegorically, a driver has 'ability' to drive his car and a police officer has 'authority' to stop the car. Thus, power is different from authority, and when authority is given to him who can perform miracles, we can say he has received power from God.
2. Differences between the 'Gifts of Healing' and 'Power'
Those who do not understand the power well, think it as being the same as the gifts of healing. But power and gifts of healing are totally different.
The 'gifts of healing' as recorded in the 12th chapter of 1 Corinthians, heal diseases primarily caused by germs. This gift cannot heal people whose body features have degenerated or those who cannot hear and speak due to damage to nerve cells. But with the 'power' of God any kind of disease or infirmities can be cured.
God may give the gifts of healing to those who have accumulated a great deal of prayer with love for souls and are proper in His sight, although they may not yet have become completely sanctified. But if they stop seeking God's glory and use the gifts improperly seeking their own benefits, God will take these gifts of healing away.
Unlike such gifts, the power of God is given only to those who have already achieved sanctification and accumulated a great deal of fiery prayers. Because they have no evil in their hearts, the power of God that was once given to them will neither weaken nor disappear. It means that they would never take advantage of the power to flaunt themselves or for their personal benefit. After they have accomplished sanctification, they come to endeavor to reveal only God's glory and try all the more to achieve the heart of the Lord. That is why they can perform great works.
3. The four levels of power of God who is Light
1) Red light: the power that burns diseases with the fire of the Holy Spirit
The fire of the Spirit works through the red light, and it heals diseases by burning germs, viruses, and bacteria. That is, it cures diseases like cancer, lung diseases, diabetes, leukemia, kidney diseases, joint inflammation, heart diseases, and AIDS. But this fire of the Spirit that belongs to the first level of power can seldom heal such diseases as late-stage cancers that went beyond the limit for life God has set. A higher level of power is needed in order to heal such diseases and to regenerate dead or degenerated body parts whose abilities and functions were lost.
2) Blue light: the power to drive out darkness
The blue light of the second level of the power drives away darkness from those who are possessed by demons and suffer from Satan's work. It can heal all neurological diseases or mental diseases including autism as well as mental disorders, neurosis, and nervous breakdowns caused by the dark forces.
Sometimes signs can be manifested in this level of power that occur when the cases are diseases or infirmities caused by demons or the forces of darkness. Here, 'infirmities' include the inability to see, hear, and talk that the blind, deaf, and mute suffer and the degeneration of body function such as in the case of the results of polio. The ninth chapter of Mark shows us that a deaf-mute boy was made whole after Jesus drove out an evil spirit from him.
This second level of power, in accordance with the will of God, can summon spirits of people that have died or take away souls of people who are alive. Apostle Paul revived Eutychus who had been dead; Peter cursed Ananias and Sapphira, who had deceived the Holy Spirit, and they breathed their last; and evil young lads were killed by bears by Elisha's curse (Acts 5 and 20; 2 Kings 2).
3) White light: the power of the work of creation
The third level of power brings forth the work of creation and all kinds of signs through white light. 'Signs' are the works that cause the blind to see, the mute to speak, the deaf to hear, the lame to walk and jump, and those with polio or cerebral palsy to be made whole. Additionally, the third level of power makes possible the body parts that were deformed or crippled since birth to be regenerated; it makes degenerated parts whole; causes broken bones to set and mend; it allows for missing bones to be created; and connects severed tendons.
So, through this level of power eyes of the blind recover their vision, ears that are impaired come to hear, and rotten or malfunctioning internal organs can be recreated.
4) Golden light: the powerful works that happen transcending space and time
The golden light of the fourth level of power brings about the works that change the weather because the light rules over and controls all things. Even nonliving things obey this level of power. The winds and the surging waves became calm when the Lord Jesus rebuked them. The things of nature and nonliving entities such as the winds and the sea obeyed Jesus' words (Matthew 8).
The fourth level of power causes the works transcending space and time to take place. A Canaanite woman implored Jesus to heal her demon-possessed daughter. Then, when she returned home the demon had been driven away by His power. Jesus walking on the water also shows that all things are under His authority. By prayer a torrential downpour stopped, and carbon monoxide was driven away from those who were suffering from the effect of carbon monoxide poisoning.
4. The Most High Power of Creation
The works Jesus performed belong to a higher level of power than the fourth level of power. It is the power of God the Creator called the 'Most High Power of Creation'. It is not the power that creatures can receive from God but is the power that comes from the original light that God gave out when He was alone before the beginning. The power unfolded when Jesus revived Lazarus who had been dead for four days (John 11).
If we cast away every form of evil, achieve the heart of whole spirit, and keep filling ourselves with spiritual knowledge that is limitless, we can attain to the level of the Most High Power of Creation that is shown at the divine level. After the accomplishment of the power, amazing works of creation can be manifested just as God created the heavens and the earth and all things in them by His Word.
When one with such power commands the crippled to get up and walk, they can immediately rise, walk, and jump. Wounds that have become putrefied or gangrenous can be instantly renewed. This is because the works are manifested through the light and sound of God, who existed alone before the beginning. When the boundless power of creation mingled with the light is exercised, even people who have already exceeded their life limits and people who couldn't be healed by the fourth level of power can be cured.
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, do you want to receive the Holy Spirit and the power and become the Lord's witness all over the world as recorded in Acts 1:8? I pray in the name of the Lord that if you become holy by the Word and prayer, and you attain such a level you can and shall receive the power so that you can lead countless souls to the way of salvation with a longing for the second coming of the Lord.
