I have the power

My husband gave me a blow torch now he did not know it was a blow torch when he gave it too me, and as for as blow torches go it is small. It is the kind you would use in the kitchen to Caramelize sugar. I love fire and I always have some small flame around, mostly candles but now I have a blow torch and I am capable of so much more. I am sitting around my office looking for things to burn. I have had this blow torch for a while; I did not realize it was a blow torch just thought it was a candle lighter. It sat on my shelf for months and I never thought twice about it. BUT now I have the POWER, the POWER of a BLOW TORCH I want to use it. Nothing else really has my attention but the BLOW TORCH and I will invent uses for it just so I can TORCH things.

This made me think of God’s word. As Christians we have the power of God’s word but how often does our Bible sit on a shelf and get dusty because we don’t realize what we have. Ephesians Chapter 6 refers to the word of God as sword. How many Christian are living defeated lives because they don’t know how to use there sword.

In the book of Daniel with Israel being held captive in Babylon, Daniel reads that the captivity is supposed to last 80 years. It is not until Daniel prays the scripture back to God that he releases Israel from Captivity. Pray the scriptures, there is power in GOD”S WORD.
The only way we can know God’s will for our life is to know God’s word.

Remember we fight from a VICTORY not for a VICTORY.
