I WOKE UP (PRAISE THE LORD FOR WAKING UP AGAIN!) this morning exhausted!!

I had spent much of the night in SPIRITUAL WARFARE!!!

NOT that SPIRITUAL WARFARE is a bad thing, but any fight is tiresome!

I THANK God that He has gifted me a PRAYER warrior!!!

The hard thing is that Amanda OFTEN awakes me OFTEN nightly and as I have stated many times, there is little else to do in the wee hours of the night but PRAY!!!!

AND PRAY I DID!

And truly, I UNDERSTAND what Jesus' disciples felt and experienced what Jesus saw:

Luke 10:17-18 (KJV)
17  And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.  

18  And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

I SAW demons fall right before my eyes!

After administering Amanda's 7 AM meds, I laid back down for what usually is my best and most restful sleep of the night-the early mornings.

When I awakened (see above) again, I had a crazy and obscure song ringing in my head!

Now trust me, I AM not and never was a fan or follower of HEAVY-METAL songs or bands, but..............................

That one phrase, the hook of a metal song was pulsing through my soul-

" YOU GOT THE POWER!!!!!"


" YOU GOT THE TOUCH-YOU GOT THE POWER!"

The song was and is the theme song of the movie THE TRANSFORMERS-a movie I am happy to report I never saw!!

BUT the truth is YOU and ME do "GOT THE POWER!!!"

JESUS GAVE US THE POWER!!!!!

Luke 10:19 (KJV)
19  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.
One of the last commandments our Lord and Savior gave His disciples was:

Luke 24:49 (KJV)
49  And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

This PROMISE was fulfilled in:

Acts 1:8 (KJV)
8  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.

TODAY, brethren, may each of us go forth BOLDLY in this POWER!!!

SIDE NOTE-Our English word dynamite is derived from the Greek Word "dynamis/dunamai."


And as they say, "DYNAMITE COMES IN SMALL PACKAGES!!"

3  For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:  


4  (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)  


5  Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;


TODAY, FIGHT ON CHRISTIANS, FIGHT ON!!!


YOU GOT THE POWER!!!
