Receiving the Power of God

Play

Paul gives us the central secret of Christian power in (Eph. 6:10:11), “Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power ‘Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” Christians are unconquerable in the Lord and have the protection of his power when they put their spiritual armor on. Victory occurs when confidence is placed in Jesus. That is when defenses against the wiles of Satan are possible.

When a sinner comes to Christ, he receives power to become a son of God and after Salvation, he can receive extra power from God. (Acts 1:8 and 2:38), describes this extra endowment of power as the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. (Gal. 5:1); (I Pet. 2:11) shows how to clean up lives. Walking in a holy life is the requirement to successfully war against the powers of darkness.

Entering the kingdom of God is by obedience to the will of God. Moreover,the new birth is evidenced by obedience and not lip service.“Not everyone who say’s to me, Lord Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father in heaven.” “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves,” (Jam. 1:22).

Personal Prayer: In obedience to His Word and His will, I will make it. Lord I am weak, but I know through my weakness, You are made perfectly strong. Even though the Devil has taken dominion over certain areas of my life ,I willingly resist Satan’s strongholds over my mind, will, body and spirit. In Jesus name, I bind all the evil roots to my flesh. I release my will to You, Jesus. I let my flesh die and ask You to fill me with Your Holy Spirit. I shall live for You and with You forever and forever.

“Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body,” (1 Cor. 6:18).

The Apostle Paul gave us hope concerning besetting sins like the sexual sins we have been discussing. He gives us principles in Romans 6 that can help us achieve victory if we apply them to our lives.

  • The Fact (Rom. 6:6)Christ has made it possible for us not to be slaves to sin. He gave His life that we might have victory.
  • The Faith Principle (Rom. 6:11). We have to decide we are going to die to the sin and begin counting ourselves dead to sin from this moment on no matter what temptation comes along. This act can be done in faith.

Daniel Prays For His Nation

Play

Daniel prayed to God for the return of his people to their own land. In Daniel’s prayer for his nation, he confessed his own sins using the pronoun, “we” throughout. Daniel knew how to pray. As he prayed, he fasted and confessed his sins, in (Dan. 9:3-19). (In verses 9: 11-13), he mentioned the blessings and curses shown in (Deut. 28). God had given the people a choice of obedience to blessings or disobedience to the curses. The purpose for their affliction was to turn the people back to God.

When Daniel prayed, he asked for God mercy, but not for His help. Daniel knew that God’s people had done wrong and they deserved punishment. While Daniel prayed and fasted, a war was going on in the heavenlies and a heavenly being appeared to Daniel in (verses 10: 5,6), “Behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz. His body also was like the beryl lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in color to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.” The book of Hebrews tells us that God’s angels are all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister to those who will be heirs of salvation.

Daniel alone saw the vision of the angel, but the men that were with him, though they did not see the angel, were possessed of great trembling, so that they fled to hide themselves, vs. 8. Daniel was left weak although this was an angel of low rank, a lieutenant in the forces of God. When Daniel was stopped by a major angel of the forces of Satan, he could not go on with his mighty ministry until God sent a ministering angel to his aid.  Daniel caught a glimpse of a supernatural battle between good and evil in verse 10:13. The angel had to fight against the Satanic Prince of Persia and the Satanic Prince of Greece. The demonic powers had tried to stop the answer of Daniel’s prayer from getting through. This supernatural battle proves that even though the devils tried to stop his prayer, angels were warring to bring the answer. Daniel’s weapons were repentance, fasting, faith and prayers.
