A NEW STRENGTH!
Stella Dhinakaran
But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31)
My dearly beloved,
The key to unlock this verse is to wait upon the Lord. Pause and think for a while how wonderful is this thing which gives us hope! Though the disciples of the Lord were with Him for 3 ½ years, they had shortcomings in their spiritual life and were full of weaknesses. Thats why Peter dared to deny Him thrice saying, I do not know the Lord. What a terrible weakness! Thomas too did not believe His resurrection. Even the disciple John, who was leaning on His bosom and loved Him, fled away from Him, when His enemies came to arrest Him. Thus, all of them had weaknesses. But, how the Lord was with them, granted them His strength, and revived them! If you read the Book of Acts, after the Lord died and rose again, He presented Himself before them for forty days. After that, when the time for His ascension to heaven arrived, He told His disciples, All of you gather together and wait; then the power of God will fill you. Believing this word, they gathered in the presence of the Lord and waited in prayer with one accord (Acts 1:14). Read how their spiritual life had changed, because of that. The Lord, who gave them such spiritual experiences, will give each one of you who wait at His feet, the same divine experience. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full (John 16:24). Hence, like the disciples, who jointly obeyed the word of the Lord and prayed reverentially, you too should wait and pray with the same desire and thirst, individually and as a family.
Then He will give you the same divine experience. Several times, I have shared with you our own experience. After reading how the Lord filled with the anointing (Acts 10:38). He waited and waited at His feet and received this divine experience in a miraculous way, after seven years. On hearing it, we too as a family, waited in the presence of the Lord, like him and told Him, Lord we will not let go of You unless You fill us. Today the Lord has given all of us this divine blessing. Thats why as a family we are doing His ministry as much as possible, with godly zeal.
My dear beloved, we are in end times. The coming of the Lord is very near. Do not neglect the spiritual things. Do not put off the days, saying, Ill see later; or there is no time for me in my family life and as such how can I wait? Today, right now, wait in the presence of the Lord. Like Jacob, wait firmly saying, Lord, unless You pour down the filling of the anointing of the Holy Spirit, I will not let go of You. All your physical and spiritual weaknesses and the weakness of your soul will vanish. A new strength will fill you. Your soul will be made bold with strength (Psalm 138:3). You will become a new woman. The Lord will lift you up in such a way that those who see you will say, Is she the one who has changed so much?
Yes, may the Lord help you to live gloriously in Him by receiving salvation, divine strength and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, by waiting on the Lord, according to the above promise!
Prayer:
Loving Lord Jesus,
You are my divine Helper. I place my complete trust in You. I come before Your presence and lay all my problems at Your feet. I pray for Your blessings in my life. Strengthen me and help me to soar above the obstacles. Grant me the desires of my heart and help me to lead a victorious life for You, Lord. I give You all praises and glory.
In Your matchless name I pray.
Amen.
