Yom R’vi’i, Tammuz 26, 6003 – July 11, 2018
Dynamite On The Inside
It is unusual to think about perhaps, but the Greek word used for “power” and for “strength” are often the word we get “dynamite” from in our language. I speak of the scriptures. This one helped me this morning as I thought about struggles I am personally facing, as well as struggles I have seen others face recently.
Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
In this scripture, the phrase “be strong in the Lord” means to “be empowered with dynamite power on the inside” if we try to translate it from the Greek in an easy to understand fashion. We get to share in our Father’s power to do His work here. What follows next is equally encouraging as we head into spiritual warfare.
Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
We need to reach out to our Father and pursue His will and His ways. Only then can we truly understand what He wants for us, and our mission here in this place. Thank God that we have been given the armor to defend, and the sword of the Spirit in the utterance (word) of God.
Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Today, let us not forget that we have that dynamite power on the inside.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in this earth into the hearts of mankind. Let Your will be done perfectly here as it is in heaven. Send us now Your overwhelming provision that it might overflow to those around us. Deliver us from the evil here. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. We need You and Your help, Father. Help us all to forget the evil done to us or by us, and replace those thoughts and memories with only thoughts and memories of You. You are our only chance to make this happen. Restore Your people to You, Father. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been eaten or taken or held back in any way of that which is good, and the much more besides. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God, Your kingdom YAH, in the hearts of mankind. We ask all these things of You, Father, in the name of our Messiah YAH Yeshuah. Amen.
