In the natural world it is very easy for a power outage to occur, a little wind, thunder and lightening and BAM your lights blink. Man's natural equipment doesn't seem to compare or match up with the natures fury. However there is a power that is greater and far more superior than anything other power. THE POWER OF ALMIGHTY GOD!
In the life of a believer, storms both spiritual and natural present a wonderful opportunity to display the awesome power of God. We should never have power outages. We must stay full of the power of God.
Jesus dominated spiritual and physical storms.
Mark 4:38-40, "And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?"
WOW! No power outage there just a full manifestation of dunamis!
God wants us to look just like Him in every situation of life, even during a storm. God has fully supplied every believer with power to be a witness. We are witness of Christ when we dominate storms. We are witness of Christ when we cast out devils and lay hands on the sick and see them recover.
Power outages happen in the lives of those who are luke warm. Power outages happen for those who do not believe. Power outages happen when we neglect reading the word of God and fellow-shipping with Him. Power outages happen when we stay more in tune with the world than praying and being sensitive to God's Spirit. Power outages happen when we live in the flesh and not in the spirit.
God did not leave us here in the earth without power.
Luke 10:18-20 (AMP)
And He said to them, I saw Satan falling like a lightning [flash] from heaven. Behold! 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. Nevertheless, do not rejoice at this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are enrolled in heaven.
Rise up child of God and use this awesome power, there is a great demand in this hour. Don't let the lightening strike your tower. Stay awake and alert on your watch, don't let the lights go out on your block.
Good analogy, just like in the natuaral, power outages occur when something overwhelms the electrical system, whethr it be ice, snow, wind or the combination there of. It could even be too much demand for power on the the system than the sysem can suppy, there can never be too much demand on a Christian's life that we should experience a power outage. Just the opposite is true in our lives, when all the external events try and attack our power grid, that is when we should ramp up our production of the true power*
