💁🏻 Concept: Power of the Church

The power of the church refers to the God-given authority entrusted to the body of Christ to fulfill its spiritual mission on earth. This includes proclaiming the gospel with boldness, engaging in spiritual warfare through prayer and truth, and exercising loving church discipline for the purity of the church. This power is not worldly, political, or manipulative—it flows from Christ, the Head of the Church, who governs His people by His Word and Spirit. The church is not weak or passive—it is God’s ordained instrument for declaring the kingdom, confronting sin, and advancing light in darkness.
