Speaking With Power

In my reading of the Exodus, came across chapter 8:18 and it just stuck out. Here’s what it says:

The Third Plague: Lice
16 So the LORD said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the land, so that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.’” 17 And they did so. For Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod and struck the dust of the earth, and it became lice on man and beast. All the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
18 Now the magicians so worked with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not. So there were lice on man and beast.

With a continuing theme from my previous blog, “Understanding Power”, God seems to be revealing more about, ‘Power’.

It really just grabbed my attention that the magicians couldn’t turn dust into lice. They could cause frogs to appear, make water, bloody, and even turn a rod into a snake, but they could not turn dust into lice. Well, it goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway: There is only one voice capable of creating life from nothing but dust, and that’s the voice of God. In early Genesis, God spoke to the dust and man became a living being. The magicians realized they couldn’t accomplish this, that’s why even they said, “this is the finger of God”. Exodus 8:19

In my previous blog, I mentioned that satan compromised the stream of God’s power to mankind. He got Adam and Eve to download a virus; once that happened, he was now able to control their thoughts and thus feed humans artificial or manipulated data. YET, even with satan controlling the stream of power (to those who haven’t removed the virus and put up a firewall like Brent Wong suggested) he STILL could not create life from dirt. What this tells me is that satan’s manipulated power that he gives, is in no way shape or form complete enough to be comparable with the Power of God. I eluded previously to this battle between God and satan, but really, how dare we compare the Author and Finisher to an interceptor and deceiver? That would be like comparing a luxury car manufacturer with the guy on the street that steals them, changes the VIN #, repaints them and sells them.

The devil is merely being allowed to manipulate streams of God’s power for a time; however, once the voice of a people who are eager to operate in their purposes come forth and speak to dust and creates life (because we are made in God’s image and likeness), satan will know his operation is in jeopardy. He may have gotten humanity to download a virus, but Jesus gave us disk clean up and a firewall! Even the airwaves will be reclaimed and controlled by kingdom minded people. MTV is definitely one television network that will broadcast God.

Once we begin to gather voices, we will be strong enough to overthrow the evil power in this world. We will take it by force! This is eRevolution! The Bring the Fire Revolution!
