When we wait upon The Lord we are empowered with supernatural strength. The strength to overcome, to persevere, and to soar to higher heights like that of an eagle.
“Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the LORD, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable.”
Isaiah 40:28
“He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength.”
Isaiah 40:29
“Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall,”
Isaiah 40:30
“But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, Isaiah 40:31
“So Samson went down to Timnah with his father and mother, and came to the vineyards of Timnah. Now to his surprise, a young lion came roaring against him.”
Judges 14:5
“And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he tore the lion apart as one would have torn apart a young goat, though he had nothing in his hand. But he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.”
Judges 14:6
Supernatural strength comes from God.
When the spirit of the Lord comes upon you then you are able to do exceedingly, abundantly, far above all you could ever ask or think.
Without the spirit of God Samson would not have been able to tear a roaring lion apart, it is impossible.
When the spirit of the Lord comes upon you then you are able to do exceedingly, abundantly, far above all you could ever ask or think.
You see the things that are impossible to man are very very possible to God.
The ways of God cannot be comprehended.
His ways supersedes human understanding, logic, and reasoning.
Without God David would not have been able to defeat Goliath.
You see if you keep relying on your own strength you will never be able to fulfill all that the Lord has empowered you to do.
Supernatural strength requires patience, prayer, and the presence of God.
“The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?”
Psalms 27:1
“Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD!”
Psalms 27:14
Naturally nobody enjoys waiting, but if we really desire to see the fullness of His glory then we must put our flesh under subjection, and keep our Spirit man in line with His Word.
The flesh must die if you really desire to see more of God in your life.
It takes faith, it takes trust and obedience in God to encounter His presence.
Let your life be a living sacrifice, pleasing and acceptable into the Lord.
Allow The Lord to use you as a vessel for His glory.
Your true self can only be found in Christ Jesus.
The strength of the Lord shall propel you into your next level if only you give yourself away to Him.
Let go and just let God.
Quit limiting God for He is limitless.
Quit being self conscious, it’s a hindrance to your progress in the Kingdom of God.
Go ahead, dance like David danced be free in the presence of God.
For in His presence there is fullness of joy!
Let His supernatural strength take over your life.
Wait on The Lord and your strength shall be renewed, if you don’t you’ll only end up wearying yourself.
Life has its fair share of trials, if you don’t keep your eyes fixed on God then you will never see your tribulations.
Rejoice in The Lord always!
Strength will rise as YOU wait upon The Lord.
You have to wait, and when you do you have to trust and obey for there is no other way.
Wait on The Lord, and He promises to renew your strength.
The world will mock you, but remember you have a God who never fails!
Forever the Word of God is settled.
He will never fail you.
Wait on The Lord, and when you do trust and obey Him.
He will do just what He said He will do.
I pray that the Lord shall empower you.
He is your strength when you are weak.
“After some time, when he returned to get her, he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion. And behold, a swarm of bees and honey were in the carcass of the lion.”
Judges 14:8
“He took some of it in his hands and went along, eating. When he came to his father and mother, he gave some to them, and they also ate. But he did not tell them that he had taken the honey out of the carcass of the lion.”
Judges 14:9
Often the blessing comes after you have defeated your enemies.
The blessing does not always come easily, and many will not know where and how you got your blessing.
They will celebrate with you in good times, but they do not know what it took for you to get there.
That’s how it is with the anointing many want it, but few are ready to do what it takes to get the anointing.
You have to overcome some lions, before you can taste the sweet blessings from God.
To overcome means you need supernatural strength.
The bible says since the days of John the Baptist the kingdom of God suffereth violence, and the violent they take it by force!
If you want that blessing then you better be prepared to defeat some lions first.
There are trials before there are tribulations.
Nothing ever comes easy, but if you are diligent and you know who you are in Christ then you will know that you are more than able to overcome all, not some but ALL the devices of the enemy.
The Lord is Jehovah Jireh your Provider.
When your enemies rise up against you the Lord shall strengthen you to conquer them all.
The Lord shall prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemies.
In difficult situations God will make a way out for you.
“When he came to Lehi, the Philistines came shouting against him. Then the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him; and the ropes that were on his arms became like flax that is burned with fire, and his bonds broke loose from his hands.”
Judges 15:14
When you are bound The Lord shall set you free.
The Lord is your deliverer and He shall deliver you.
“Then he became very thirsty; so he cried out to the LORD and said, “You have given this great deliverance by the hand of Your servant; “You have given this great deliverance by the hand of Your servant; and now shall I die of thirst and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?””
Judges 15:18
This happens a lot to anointed men and women of God.
But Jesus said, “Somebody touched Me, for I perceived power going out from Me.”
Luke 8:46
When we give out His power we need to pray to be empowered again, because the enemy is ready to attack us when we are doing the work of God.
Do you think the enemy is happy when healing is taking place, deliverance,revivals, miracles, when lost souls are being saved,
when you are having encounters?!
No the enemy is not happy in fact he wants you to fall, he wants you to grow faint and weary, he tries to bring counter attacks that is why you must be careful, you must be discerning, and you must be prayerful especially after you have prayed for others.
That is why Jesus encourages the church to intercede.
There are many demons that the enemy has assigned to attack the church.
Watch and be very prayerful.
Remember it’s not by might and it’s not by power but by His Spirit.
“So God split the hollow place that is in Lehi, and water came out, and he drank; and his spirit returned, and he revived. Therefore he called its name En Hakkore, which is in Lehi to this day.”
Judges 15:19
The Lord shall renew your strength.
Cry out to the Lord and He shall revive you, He shall set you free.
Let Your living waters take over my soul.
Let Your Holy Spirit come and take control, and every situation that has troubled my mind. All my cares and burdens unto You I roll.
Always pray for supernatural strength, you need it to run the good race for Jesus Christ without His strength you will fall.
Always pray for The Lord to go ahead of you, if He does not then do not go else you will struggle.
If Samson had not cried out to The Lord in his time of weakness his enemies would have destroyed him.
The philistines sought to know the root of his power, it’s not everyone that should know your destiny.
Protect it.
“Now Samson went to Gaza and saw a harlot there, and went in to her.”
Judges 16:1
“Afterward it happened that he loved a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.”
Judges 16:4
“And the lords of the Philistines came up to her and said to her, “Entice him, and find out where his great strength lies, and by what means we may overpower him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and every one of us will give you eleven hundred pieces of silver.””
Judges 16:5
“So Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me where your great strength lies, and with what you may be bound to afflict you.””
Judges 16:6
“And it came to pass, when she pestered him daily with her words and pressed him, so that his soul was vexed to death,”
Judges 16:16
“that he told her all his heart, and said to her, “No razor has ever come upon my head, for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb. If I am shaven, then my strength will leave me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.””
Judges 16:17
“And she said, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” So he awoke from his sleep, and said, “I will go out as before, at other times, and shake myself free!” But he did not know that the LORD had departed from him.”
Judges 16:20
Samson’s weakness was women.
He failed to protect his calling, his anointing, his destiny.
The enemy will use your weaknesses to defeat you, do not give him the chance.
Leave people to question the anointing you carry, leave them to try to figure out your destiny.
Just keep your eyes fixed on God.
Do not lose focus.
Samson exposing the root of his strength cost him his life.
Do not let this be you.
Be very prayerful and discerning in spirit.
“Then the Philistines took him and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza. They bound him with bronze fetters, and he became a grinder in the prison.”
Judges 16:21
“However, the hair of his head began to grow again after it had been shaven.”
Judges 16:22
“Then Samson called to the LORD, saying, “O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray! Strengthen me, I pray, just this once, O God, that I may with one blow take vengeance on the Philistines for my two eyes!””
Judges 16:28
“Then Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines!” And he pushed with all his might, and the temple fell on the lords and all the people who were in it. So the dead that he killed at his death were more than he had killed in his life.”
Judges 16:30
Samson killed more philistines than he did when he was alive, but yet he still died.
Protect the anointing.
Protect your destiny.
Do not allow the enemy to diminish the fire, to put out the Light, to destroy the power, to weaken your strength.
We all have weaknesses.
Every man and woman of God in the bible had a weakness, and the enemy would try to use that to defeat them, but Jesus overcame!
We have the power to overcome.
Expose the devices of satan, but do not expose your destiny.
Cry out to The Lord, for when you are weak He is strong, and always remember The Lord is mighty to save.
Remember in your weakness He is merciful.
He is a never drying Fountain.
His Cup never runs dry.
He restores your soul
Do not allow your enemies to disgrace you instead disgrace your enemies with prayer.
The enemy wants to set a trap for you, overcome him with prayer.
Continue to do the work that The Lord has called you to do, and do not be afraid for The Lord is with you.
Arise, and go in the strength you have.
Do not give up, for The Lord God Almighty is your strength!
