Power in the Blood (our Blood, That Is)

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. –  2Cor 4:7

We’re supernatural by nature. Living in miracles is nothing new in our ancestry. In this family of ours, we have people who raise dead bodies up and who call down fire from heaven as easy as picking up paper (1Ki 17:17-24; 2Ki 1:10-12). People in your village who have been making noise need to know that someone in your new family once made a sunken axe-head to float and also singlehandedly controlled an entire attacking army (2Ki 6:6, 18).

That so-called occult ‘grandmaster’ who arrogantly thinks he has power to do and undo should know that one of your family members once held back every single thing on Earth for several hours (Jos 10:12-14)! Yes, when Joshua commanded the Sun and Moon to stand still, he was effectively commanding the Earth – rotating at a speed faster than a Boeing 737’s top speed – to halt! Hitting the Earth’s brakes at that speed would cause everything: houses, trees, animals, even the oceans to lurch into space; but that was not a problem for Ol’ Josh, was it?

And we've not even mentioned  the original Avatar, Moses himself! Ang and Korra from Nickelodeon know nothing about Earth/Wind/Fire and Water ‘Bending’. In Egypt, Moses ‘bent’ water when he turned the entire river Nile into blood. He ‘bent’ air when he stretched his hands and a “strong east wind” blew and parted the Red Sea. He ‘bent’ earth when he commanded the ground to open up and swallow up his detractors. And strange fire was everywhere in his ministry: as pillars at night, and as sacrifice incendiaries, etc. (Ex 7:14-25; 14:19-21; Lev 9:24; Num 16:31-35).

And to think these are just the ‘boys’ in our family. In Mat 11:11 Jesus said, “Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there has not risen a greater than John the Baptist: yet he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.” That means the powers those guys wielded is nothing compared to the power we now have in Christ Jesus. No wonder Paul says, “We have this treasure in earthen vessels,” (2Co 4:7).

Beloved, any Devil, witch, shaman, warlock, native doctor or grandmaster that tries you is in for a rude shock. This drab container we move in can be quite misleading, because raw supernatural POWER flows in our blood. You are untouchable, you are unconquerable, you are undefeatable.

“Now thanks be unto God, which always causes us to triumph in Christ.”

HALLELUJAH!

More Blessings await you today; you’ll not miss them in Jesus’ Name.
