“Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these? He who brings out their host by number, calling them all by name; by the greatness of his might and because he is strong in power, not one is missing.”
Power is a free, accessible gift. It hinges upon our faith and knowledge that circumstances have to shift in submission to the word of the Lord.
We are invited to walk in faith with Him in this knowledge. It is a kingdom mandate that we can walk by and attach faith to.
Faith and obedience are honoured and become a manifestation of God’s glory. A testimony to others. It is never by our own power and might but by His. We achieve only by surrendering and resting in Him.
How do we access faith? Faith comes from hearing. Only in close abiding and intentional relationship do we hear Christ and the Holy Spirit.
Being in Him, He in us and the flow created.
“So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.”
Faith is not about deciding what is truth it is by knowing in the spirit.
This hearing gives us confidence. Faith is not just an emotion we can act upon. It is an action response.
There is also a blessing on our being vulnerable and transparent and in exposing ourselves the opportunity to receive and give love.
A divine release in the place of becoming naked. Foremost before the Lord and also with each other.
A season where that is our foundation and place of bonding and unity. It requires a high level of trust as well as faith. It births honesty and authenticity and it enemy proofs us.
It reveals our measure of confidence and security in our identity being in Christ and our death to self.
“Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.”
As we feel embraced by Christ it unlocks our vulnerability so that in confessing to others their prayer and love ministers to us.
It unlocks grace, humility and love in us all for each other. The enemies accusations are excluded and powerfully made void.
This is the way we lead the next generation into their freedom. Into being strong and courageous in the Lord. Into faith and belief in His limitless power.
The illustration shows us vulnerable and naked surrounded by the Trinity and empowered by the Holy Spirit to become a manifestation of God’s glory. Light emanating to push back the darkness.
Three Scriptures that come to mind:
“Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these? He who brings out their host by number, calling them all by name; by the greatness of his might and because he is strong in power, not one is missing.” Isaiah 40:26 ESV
“So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.”Romans 10:17 ESV
“Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.” James 5:16 ESV
