Of Power and Strength

Of Power and Strength:

“As Caleb walked down the corridor, every step he took echoed. About halfway down the hall of doors, he could see that it was a dead end, so he decided to open one of the doors.

He opened a door to his right. He stepped through the doorway to another red room. In the middle of the room he saw Logan chained to the floor by the ankles.

“Caleb!” yelled Logan. “Logan!” said Caleb as he ran over to him. Caleb grabbed the chains that bound Logan to the floor and began pulling on them, trying to free his brother.

“It’s no use, Caleb. It’s no use,” said Logan. “Faith, Brother, faith. Power and strength comes from the Holy Spirit that burns within us!” said Caleb with authority.

Caleb stood to his feet and heart-linked with the Timeless-One. After about ten seconds, he pulled a flaming white sword out of thin air with his right hand. In one motion, he brought it down, struck the chains, and shattered them, freeing Logan. Caleb fell to his knees in praise.

Logan lay face down in worship saying, “Deliverance is in the name of the Lord! Holy is the God of my salvation!” “Amen,” said Caleb.”

The above is taken from the story, “Corridors” from my book, “The Caleb Chronicles”.

Caleb tells his brother Logan, “Power and strength comes from the Holy Spirit that burns within us!” The Holy Spirit gives us the power and the strength to do things we feel are impossible to do. Such as; forgiving those we feel have done us wrong, speaking up when someone has spoken evil against our Lord, or to pray over our meal at a restaurant. And the one I feel that takes the most power and strength, loving your enemies and doing good to those who persecute you or harass you for your faith.

The world sees power and strength as a physical thing, but in the realm of the Timeless-Ones it has to do with faith, love and prayer through the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is Power. Acts 1:8 "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."

The Holy Spirit is Strength. Ephesians 3:16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,

The Holy Spirit is Love. Romans 5:5Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Sometimes,

I feel chained to this cold floor of Circumstance

Oh, Timeless-One

Sometimes,

I feel I am all alone in this room called concern

Mighty Yah

Fill me now, with Your Strength,

Consume me now, oh Yah with Your Might

Over my worries, may Your Power reign

To be a man of Valor is what I pray

Amen, Selah

Selah, I.H.G.
