LUKE 10:19

‘Behold I give unto you power to thread upon serpent and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, nothing shall by any means hurt you.

There is a family of fishes called electric fishes. They don’t run on batteries, or need a

power cord. Rather an electric fish is one that generates its own electric field using

a specialized electric organ in its body. Electric fishes can generate electric fields and discharge electricity that is powerful enough to stun and kill their prey.

The most famous is the electric eel — a freshwater fish in South America. Its shock is strong enough to stun a grown man.

A specie called stargazers, hide in the bottom of the sea, until their prey comes close. Then with a jolt of electricity from near their eyes, they stun their prey and gobble them up.

For these fishes, they survive through the release of power. Through releasing electricity, these fishes are able to fight off danger and protect themselves from predators.

The power of the Holy Spirit, is often likened to electricity. And through releasing a high voltage of the power of The Spirit, we can stun our enemies and be protected from every evil harassment.

In Luke 10:19, Jesus says ‘’Behold I give unto you power to thread upon serpent and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, nothing shall by any means hurt you.’

For you not to be a prey in this end-time, you must learn to pray. It is through prayer that power is generated. According to God’s plan, the end-time Church is a Church of power! It is a ruling and reigning Church. And it is through, the display of great power that the enemies of God will be brought under His footstool.

Psalm 66:3 says “Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.”

Indeed in this end time, power is crucial. Pharaoh won’t let go without a demonstration of God’s power. And when God’s power is in place, you’re in charge. When His power is at work in you, you keep reigning! Any believer who is not clothed with power will soon become an easy prey. But constant prayer produces a wall of fire around us, that keeps  evil away.

Through prayer we can devastate the camp of the enemy and bring to an end his evil plans.

We must therefore, take on the spiritual responsibility of maintaining a fervent prayer life. Through prayer, we become constantly surrounded by power.  And through the great display of God’s power every enemy of our destiny must surely bow in Jesus Name.
PRAYER: Lord, please grant me the grace to constantly generate power through maintaining a prayerful lifestyle. Indeed by the greatness of Your power in my life, every enemy of my destiny must bow in Jesus Name.

When God places His hand upon a man in life nothing can come against him, this is because the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.  WORDBITE 222.
