Pastor Jack recounts a personal experience of conviction over violating God’s direction regarding his diet, which led to a powerful teaching on obstacles to kingdom power. Drawing from the disciples’ question about when Jesus would restore the kingdom, Pastor Jack identifies four signposts along the pathway to power: sin (things we do, requiring surrender of flesh to the cross), disobedience (things we don’t do, requiring submission to Jesus’ lordship), weakness (when we can’t do it, requiring nourishment from God’s Word), and confusion (when we don’t know what to do, requiring listening only to God’s voice). He emphasizes that the Holy Spirit gives us not just spectacular power but ability – the power to walk in daily obedience.
