Explosion!

Explosion! What do you think of when I say that word? Dynamite, big demolition of something, fire, debris, power released, big, big, big.

God has a word for explosion; it is called dunamis power. It’s the power of God that ignites a fire in us which produces an explosion of God’s power in our situation.

What are you facing today? Let God put to work His dunamis power on your behalf. It requires our cooperation with Him as the expert. He knows what He is doing. He has been working with this power eternally because it is God Himself, the very essence of His being. It is His ability released on our behalf. That ability is always there for us. What we have to do is to know how to allow the Lord to do what He does best. He loves to perform on our behalf.

Well, just how do we tap into this power? What is our part? And do we have a part?

Our part is to believe, to trust, to have confidence in God’s ability and His desire to perform His ability on our behalf. It’s called faith. Faith is a word for confidence. When you and I have confidence in something or someone, we act on that confidence. For example, you have confidence that when you get into your car and turn the key, the car will start and you can drive it to your destination. When you sit on a chair, you do so because you have confidence that it will hold you and not break. When you turn the stove on, you expect it to cook your food. When you turn the television on, you expect to see a picture. I could go on and on in the natural, but I think you get the idea.

God’s realm is the same way where faith is concerned. If we have confidence in the way He works His kingdom, we will act on that confidence. You have confidence that when you read the word that you are healed, you are healed. You have confidence that when you read the word that you are born again by accepting Jesus into your life, you are born again. You have confidence that when you read the word that God desires that you prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers, you are prosperous and healthy.

In God’s realm, we tap into His power with a decision first, a choice that what He has stated in His Word is true for us. Life itself is one big series of choices that put us where we are this very day. Choice—everybody today is concerned that they have the freedom to make their own choices. Jesus gave us freedom to make choices for good or bad in our lives. God made that possible for us. He won’t step in and stop us from making bad choices; neither will He force us to make good choices. That’s what is so wonderful about His love. His love gives each one of us the freedom to make choices every day. Sometimes making the right choice is difficult because it causes our flesh to submit, to be quiet and do what God says. But oh the rewards of those right choices. You might say that they are out of this world. Purpose to make the right choice on purpose.

Secondly, we tap into God’s power, after we have made the right choice, by speaking with our mouth the right words, based on God’s Word. Right speaking follows right thinking. So, by first making right choices, which produce right thinking, we can do right speaking. What does God’s Word say about your situation? That is what you speak and not what the situation may dictate you speak. You also speak to your mountain, your situation and command it to be cast into the sea or to leave your presence. It has no right to lord it over you when you are full of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Right thinking and right speaking produce right results.

Today find out what the Word of God says about your circumstances, your situation, take your stand and don’t deviate from that stand. Having done all to stand, stand, therefore, until you see the Word performed in your life on this earth as it has already been done in heaven.
