The headline The Drudge Report this morning (Saturday, September 13, 2008) said “4 million without power.” The reference is to the aftermath of Hurricane Ike slamming into the Texas coast.
As I read those words, the Lord spoke clearly to my spirit and said, “they are without electricity but not without power.”
The news report stated it might take several weeks to restore power to those affected by Ike. But the Lord said to me “tell my children that will never happen.” The Lord said that His children are never without real power but they must not give in to the fear of the situation or the unknown.
“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7
In speaking to me this morning, the Lord starting bringing to me scripture after scripture to me dealing with His power and the authority that He has delegated to you and I as believers. He has given us the power. . .the authority to deal with every situation that we face.
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” Matthew 28:18
“Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” Luke 10:19
“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” Acts 1:8
The Lord said that some will doubt but He reminded me of Matthew 22:29 which says:
“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.”
I turned on the TV briefly to watch Fox and Friends when I heard a doctor speaking about all the potential problems with disease that people could be facing. The Lord brought Matthew 10:11 to my remembrance:.
“And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.”
The Lord said this is a time that we rely totally upon Him and not our own thought processes or worse the opinions of the news media.
“That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:5
He said that the same resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead will manifest as believers repair, rebuild and restore their property.
“But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto me.” Matthew 9:8
“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” Ephesians 3:20
Finally, He said that in the storms of life, Ike being one of them that our trust and focus should always be on Him.
“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.” Romans 15:13
