Commander Kellie’s Corner Jesus Is Your Superpower! Hey Superkid! I am sitting here thinking about you and remembering all we’ve talked about this year: Jesus in you, you in Him, how He’s called you and what living IN Him looks like. Last month we began to talk about what living FOR Him looks like. It really comes down to this, Superkid, you are just like Jesus. You may not feel like it, you may not know it and you may even not SHOW it, but you are. You’ve been designed to be extraordinary by the Father who created you. You’ve been called to be extraordinary! Called as in assigned (like homework is assigned) and equipped. Also, called as in “Hey you! Come here and live in Me and be EXTRAORDINARY!” It’s so easy to think of ourselves as anything but extraordinary, because it’s normal to think of our own lack of abilities or skill. When we watch superheroes in movies, we picture superpowers as in the super abilities that Superman or Wonder Woman have. The enemy loves it when we see ourselves as only that—OURSELVES. But we are NOT just that! OF COURSE, we don’t feel super in ourselves! We were not designed to be more than human on our own. Look at 2 Corinthians 3:18, "The Living Bible," “But we Christians have no veil over our faces; we can be mirrors that brightly reflect the glory of the Lord. And as the Spirit of the Lord works within us, we become more and more like him.” The Spirit of the Lord has been at work in you since you asked Him into your heart, but this year, we purposely set out on a journey with Jesus, and He has changed us. In His presence, we have become a mirror that reflects to others the glory of Jesus. The glory is His power, love, healing and His presence. "The Passion Translation" says it like this, “...We are being transfigured into his very image as we move from one brighter level of glory to another. And this glorious transfiguration comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.” Picture Superman changing from mild Clark Kent to Superman! The super man must be on the inside of Clark Kent but Clark doesn’t act anything like Superman NORMALLY. This is where we are different, Superkid. We don’t change what we look like to be super and extraordinary, Jesus is super and extraordinary on the inside, and He changes us! Second Corinthians 4:6-7, "New Living Translation," tells us, “For God, who said, ‘Let there be light in the darkness,’ has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ. We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.” Jesus is your SUPERPOWER, your EXTRAORDINARY! He will never abandon us or leave us hanging without His power, when we know and believe who He is on the inside of us. Last month, from Matthew 10, we talked about MISSION: THRUST, where Jesus gives us this job: 1. Go find the lost sheep. 2. Preach the love of Jesus. 3. Bring healing to ALL those who are sick. 4. Break off the demonic presence from people. 5. Raise the dead back to life. 6. Don’t hold back in any way when giving Jesus and His LIFE to others. Sound impossible? Remember, Superkid, He never expected us to do this without Him! THAT’S impossible! His GREAT AND MIGHTY POWER works IN us and THROUGH us! We are SUPER from the inside out! So, it’s not we who SAVE THE DAY for others, IT’S JESUS! In Matthew 10:9-39, after He gave His disciples their mission, He told them not to trust in any other thing to accomplish it. Then, He said in verse 40, “Anyone who receives you receives me, and anyone who receives me receives the Father who sent me” ("NLT"). This is HUGE! If someone listens and believes when you tell them about Jesus, it’s just like Jesus is the One standing there! It’s true, HE IS! Superkid, never, ever, ever forget this. This is who you are and how you roll! So, like Jesus said in Mark 16:15-18: "Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages. They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed" ("NLT"). OK. Now you can strike a superhero pose. And yeah, you are SUPERCOOL! (Don’t pick up snakes or drink poison on purpose, just sayin’.) Now, get outta here! ♥ Commander Kellie Kellie Copeland is an outreach minister at Kenneth Copeland Ministries and is the developer of the Superkid Academy curriculum.
