Today’s Devotional Written By A Young Lady Being Endowed With Power: Tracy Koweh
Blood is Thicker than Water
The Power is Yours………
Luke 10:19 (Amplified Bible)
19Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you.
Growing up, one of my favorite cartoons was Captain Planet. It was a series of episodes about five teens (each with their own unique superhero power), coming together in times of crisis to save the planet. The show would have different creatures or chemical agents taking out the Earth, and beating down the teens until the last five minutes of the show. By this point all five teens have united and pulled their powers together, to unleash the supernatural presence known as Captain Planet. Captain Planet would appear and the victory was theirs to celebrate. Before returning back to his place of residence, he would give each teen their special power back and say, “ The Power is Yours.”
This same dynamic should be true in our families, our homes and communities. Each and every one of us has at least one special gift from God. We all have access to the undefeatable power that is Christ Jesus. The problem is that most of us are trying to save the world, our families, our homes, our lives, all by ourselves. The enemy knows this and he is picking us off one by one. Turning sibling against sibling, parent against child, husband against wife, and we are losing the battle, but the war ain’t over til the Savior sings. If we would come together and combine and our gifts instead of using them to divide us, we can conquer any and everything.
We can’t afford to do this thing alone any more. Today let us link up one to another and let our powers combine to unleash the presence known as Almighty Jehovah. Let us allow Him to come in and destroy forever those creatures and chemical/spiritual agents that are trying to take us out and our families. We have to allow God to intervene: then and only then will the victory truly be ours to celebrate. Declare that no more generations in your family will die defeated, but healed, delivered and set free. No more excuses, its time to take back all the things the devil has tricked us into believing he has stolen from us. When you get discouraged, weak or knocked down but not out…………..remember that before Christ went back to Heaven He said to us……………..The Power is Yours.
