One morning I wake up, I heard a voice like an angelic voice, saying, 'Psalm 4:5 and Psalm 12:5'. After I reached my office, I checked the verses through e-sword immediately.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD. (Psalm 4:5 KJV)
For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him. (Psalm 12:5 KJV)
In researching the meaning of the poor (H6041) in Psalm 12:5 through e-sword, Hebrew : aw-nee' , it means depressed, in mind or circumstances, afflicted, humble`, lowly`, needy, poor. It's rhema word from God, I better take heed and meditate it. Here is other translation of Psalm 12:5.
HNV - Hebrew Name Version
"Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise," says the LORD; "I will set him in safety from those who malign him." (Psalm 12:5 HNV)
GNB - Good News Bible
"But now I will come," says the LORD, "because the needy are oppressed and the persecuted groan in pain. I will give them the security they long for." (Psalm 12:5 GNB)
MSG - The Message
Into the hovels of the poor, Into the dark streets where the homeless groan, God speaks: "I've had enough; I'm on my way To heal the ache in the heart of the wretched." (Psalm 12:5 MSG)
CEV - Comtemporary English Version
But you, LORD, tell them, "I will do something! The poor are mistreated and helpless people moan. I'll rescue all who suffer." (Psa 12:5 CEV)

Sharing on 1 Cor 4:20
This excerpt of sharing I received from Ps Paul through email... good to share
“For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power” 1 Corinthians 4:20.
Bill Johnson wrote, “The original language puts it like this --- “The Kingdom of God is not in logos but in dunamis.” Apparently they had a lot of teachers who were good at speaking many words, but displaying little power. They did not follow the pattern that Jesus set for them. Dunamis is ‘the power of God displayed and imparted in a Holy Spirit outpouring.” That is the kingdom!
He further wrote, “The spirits of hell are at war against the anointing, for without the anointing mankind is no threat to their dominion. The spirit of the antichrist is at work today, attempting to influence believers to reject everything that has to do with the Holy Spirit’s anointing. That spirit has worked to reduce the gospel to a mere intellectual message, rather than a supernatural God encounter.
Those who restrict themselves to mere words limit their gifts, and may unintentionally lead believers to pride by increasing knowledge without an increased awareness of God’s presence and power.”
Miracles, signs and wonders are the manifestation of the Holy Spirit to bless the Body of Christ. The importance is the fruit of blessing produced through the manifestation. Where miracles are absent, so is the glory of God, which is the manifested presence of Jesus.
