Power… Lord, my husband and I
have been studying into Harry Potter, and it’s all about
witchcraft (false teachers promising and teaching about
false power, demonic power). The little children are into
it because they say it gives them more “power” than
Christianity. Oh, so sad, for I know Your Word says that
You are the Spirit of Power:
Isaiah 11:1-3
– A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his
roots a Branch will bear fruit. The Spirit of the Lord
will rest on Him, the Spirit of Wisdom and of
Understanding, the Spirit of Counsel and of
Power, the Spirit of Knowledge and of the Fear
of the Lord, and he will delight in the Fear of the
Lord.
Lord, how
are we to know we have been anointed with Power? How are
we to know we are operating in Power?
The Spirit of The Lord: Do you
need evidence? Do you need signs and wonders? I told you
(all) not to seek a sign. Just like a grandmother that
prayers for a grandchild she may never get to see, and that
grandchild grows up to be a mighty warrior, a mighty king
for the Lord, just like that, you (all) are to go forth,
operating under the Anointment of Power and Prayer. And you
may not know exactly what your prayers have accomplished
until years later, you may not know (see a sign) until “Thy
Kingdom Comes”.
Self: Ok… Let’s go back to the
original question then. How are we to know we are
operating in Power? You just equated Power with Prayer,
why?
The Spirit of The Lord: Here’s
the outline: I’ll let the Holy Spirit help you pull in the
Supporting Bible Verses:
POWER:
(1)
Acknowledges God (Loves the Lord
Thy God)
(2)
Blesses
Others (Loves others as thyself)
(3)
Prays in
Agreement (Prays to the Glory of
God and the Good of the People)
Self: Supporting Bible Verses:
Matthew
22:37-39
– Jesus replied:
“Love the Lord your God with all you
heart and with all you soul and with all your mind.” This is
the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like
it: “Love your neighbor as yourself”.
Therefore
Lord, what I hear You saying is that the “third greatest
commandment” is to Pray. Correct?
The Spirit of The Lord: Yes my
child. This is how we cast out demons. Power and Prayer is
all about casting out demons and “filling up houses,
mansions” with Blessings, instead of curses.
(1) POWER ACKNOWLEDGES GOD:
1 John 4:1-3
– Dear friends, do not believe every spirit,
but test the spirits to see whether they are from God,
because many false prophets (time wasters) have gone out
into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of
God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ
has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that
does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the
spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and
even now is already in the world.
Proverbs 3:5-7
– Trust in the Lord with all your heart and
lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways (in
all that you want, think, see, say or do) acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in
your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil.
(2) POWER BLESSES OTHERS:
Mark 11:24-26
– Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer,
believe that you have received (it is finished), and it
will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold
anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your
Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.
Self: That’s a strange verses for
Blessing Others… why this verse?
The Spirit of The Lord: It’s the
key memory verse, because you (all) cannot pray for and
Bless others until your hearts are rightly related to the
dilemma of fallen souls. You have to first believe in
your heart (Acknowledge God) and then forgive others
(Bless Others), for that’s the Greatest Blessing I have
given unto man, forgiveness (through the Blood of My Son).
Then, I will hear your cries (your prayers), then I will
answer you, then I will provide for you, then I will free
you, then I will rescue you and all of those you pray for,
In Jesus Name.
(3) POWER PRAYS IN AGREEMENT:
James 5:13-16
– Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone
happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is anyone of you
sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over
him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And
the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well;
the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be
forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other
and pray for each other so that you may be healed.
The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and
effective.
The Spirit of The Lord: Always
pray that others Confess their sins and Repent, and come
back into a right relationship, a powerful and honest dialog
with ME Their Lord, for I want all my children to come home,
now. And that begins with them acknowledging Me and talking
to Me (through you, and you, and you…) about everything.
1 Timothy 2:1-4
– I urge, then, first of all, that requests,
prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone,
for kings and all those in authority, that we may live
peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all
men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
James 5:19-20
– My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth
and someone should bring him back, remember this:
Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save
him from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
BLESSINGS!!!
