Today's "Faith Food" devotional by Kenneth E. Hagin contains one of my very favorite of his testimonies of faith!
Edge Of Authority
. . . 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. —
MARK 4:38,39
A tornado arose one spring day in Texas. Most people had
gone into their storm cellars. We didn’t have one. I was bedfast and almost
totally paralyzed anyway. I became fearful. If the tornado were to strike, it
would strike my corner room first, because the wind was coming from that
direction. The house would cave in right where I was!
In desperation, and without thinking whether or not I could
do it, I said, “Dear Lord, I’m Your child. When those disciples were about to
sink, they awakened You and said, ‘Carest thou not that we perish?’ And You did
care. You awoke and rebuked the wind. I know You don’t want me to perish, but I
can’t get out of here. I’m here on this bed, and
this wall is about to blow in on top of me. So I now rebuke this storm in
Jesus’ Name!”
As fast as you’d snap your fingers, the storm stopped. It
grew calm. I rejoiced. I didn’t know then the great truths about the believer’s
authority. I had gotten to the edge of it and had exercised it without really
knowing what I had done. But God wants us to get the revelation of the truth of
His Word so we can understand what belongs to us and use it in our lives.
Confession: I will get the revelation of the truth of
God’s Word and understand and use what belongs to me.
AMEN! THIS is OUR responsiblity! We have been given all of the promises in the Word of God that belong to us as bonr again believers, members of God's family and of the Body of Christ! Now it is up to us to grab ahold of these promises, meditate on His Words and make them our own! Here is Hillsong with "Your Word":Shalom in Him!
