The Lightning Anointing: Prayer Note #84



Dutch Sheets continues,  “Yes, at the Cross the counterfeit ”angle of light” met Mr. Light himself and nothing has been the same since!

The great ”light” being even reproduced Himself into a bunch of little lights“For you were formerly darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light”:

Eph. 5:8 —filling them with His very glory!

For the first time Satan understood Isaiah 60:1-3:

            “Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth, and deep darkness the peoples; but the Lord will rise upon you, and His glory will appear upon you. And nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.” 

   Bummer! He must have thought. 

   For the first time he understood that the Old Testament temple was a picture of us, this new race of people called Christians (‘little Christs’), and that the glory of God was in every one of them. ‘Major bummer!’ 

   I think it is safe to say that our intercession releases the lightning of god to flash forth into situations, bringing devastation to the powers of darkness: 

  • Calvary flashing forth again;
  • The light of the world shining again;
  • The royal priesthood proclaiming the excellencies of Him who called them out of darkness into His marvelous light (See 1 Pet. 2:9);
  • The laser of prayer burning intensely;
  • The lightning sword of the Spirit flashing brightly;
  • Jesus and the Father are glorified in the Church (See Eph. 3:21)!

We often forget how powerful the Holy Spirit in us is…how destructive to darkness is His lightning sword. It has supernatural power to overcome the works of darkness—when we release it with confidence.”

Today's Treasure Truth #15: If you are “born again”, you are casting all your cares on Jesus. 1 Peter 5:7

Our thought for today:  God doesn't hide from anyone. He wants us to seek Him so He can be found.
