We Have Powerful Hands


Sometimes when I pray and talk to God, he shows me things. I don’t always understand it, but it never fails to rock my world.

One day I was having my prayer time, when God spoke to me through a particularly fascinating image.

With my eyes closed, I saw my outstretched arm, it was weak, empty and  heavy. It barely had the strength to move on its own. But it was desperately trying lift itself. Trying endlessly in turmoil.

Then I saw  the Holy Spirit enter inside my arm, and the incredible power of the Holy Spirit began to inhabit my veins.

As this all-powerful being pulsed through my arm, I realized I now had renewed strength. And suddenly, the power that now dwelt in my blood, lifted my arm like a puppet, without any effort of my own. And it caused me to surge forward, reach out and lay hands on the sick and broken.

At immediately when I placed my hands on them, I saw the enormous healing hands of God meet my own. He covered my hands with his. And out of this union, many were healed.

What I learned form this experience, is that God wants to heal people, both physically, emotionally and mentally! And that he can use anyone to do it, all he needs is someone willing to let him take charge. We don’t have to pray hard enough, to make things happen. He does it all.  We don’t have to try to be strong and powerful, because he fills us with strength when we are weak. We don’t have to strive, all we have to do is step out. And even though he doesn’t need us to do it, He meets us there, when we move in faith!

Isaiah 40:29-31
“He gives strength to the weary,
And to him who lacks might He increases power.
Though youths grow weary and tired,
And vigorous young men stumble badly,
Yet those who wait for the Lord
Will gain new strength;
They will mount up with wings like eagles,
They will run and not get tired,
They will walk and not become weary.”

Isaiah 58                                                                                                                                            “And the Lord will continually guide you,
And satisfy your desire in scorched places,
And give strength to your bones;
And you will be like a watered garden,
And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.”
