I think we all remember the C & C Music Factory song from the early 90's. You heard it on your car stereo, saw the video on tv and even saw it on commercials. When you heard Martha Wash belt out those lyrics, "I got the power," you really felt like you had the power. But unlike the song that eventually faded away, we do have a power that lasts forever. And it's available for us. That's the power of prayer. James 5:16 (Amp) "Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false step, your offenses, your sins) and pray (also) for one another, that you may be healed and restored (to a spiritual tone of mind and heart) the earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available (dynamic in it's working).
Let's take a look at this power:
You've got the power.
The earnest heartfelt, continued prayer of a righteous man. A righteous man, means a man that is in right standing with God. A righteous man can pray without hindrances. His prayers will be hertfelt prayers that flow out his heart continuously to God.
He's got the power for you.
God makes tremendous power available.
When we pray, the power supply that comes from God, dwells in us. Making tremendous power available to do the extraordinary works of God. Such as healing the sick, breaking curses and bondages. Jude 1:20 "But you beloved, build yourselves up (founded) on your most holy faith (make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher) praying in the Holy Spirit." Praying with this power places you far above your problem and allows you to see your problem the way God sees them, defeated. Pray, equipping yourself to keep the enemy away from you.
We've got the power.
Prayer is "dynamic" in it's working.
Looking back at James 5:16, the Amplified Bible put this prase in parenthesis. Like an add-on to the meaning. The word dynamic means, force producing motion. The root word in dynamic is dyna, which, in Greek, means power. Dyna is also the root word for dynamite. Which means power to blow up, shatter or destroy. Praise God now we have the power to destroy, shatter and blow up the plans of the devil. You don't have to live with the enemy defeating you. Blow him up!
You are righteous when you pray. You have such tremendous power available for you that it's dynamic (dynamite) in it's working.
Read, meditate and pray this weeks scriptures:
Romans 8:26-27
Jude 1:20
James 5:16
God loves you and so do I!
