Doing Things That Have An Effect

.

“…the people who know their God shall be strong and do exploits” (Dan.11:32) To know the “THY” of the Kingdom, to know His Word, to worship Him for Who He is, is to be available to “do things that have an effect” (Heb.:”do exploits”) according to v.32. It is possible to do exploits through the enablements of the Spirit, with money, with political power, with influence (Esther), talent and skills. If we will take what is at hand into our hand (and not limit it with the poverty of human experience), God will enable its effect beyond our abilities. Samson took the jawbone of an ass into his hand and slew 1,000 of the Philistines. Mere reason would reckon that an animal jawbone nor Samson could hold up long enough to slay a fraction of that number. But. . . “the people who know their God shall be strong and do exploits”  “Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.” (Rom.12:2, Msg)  “For there is nothing to prevent the Lord from saving by many or by few.” (1Sam.14:6, Amp) “Whatever He says to you, do it.” (Jn.2:5)
