Power In The Hands

From the teaching 8/6/11

Power In The Hands

What is in the hands of one chosen by God?

Ex. 17:9: And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with
Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.

10So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron,
and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

11And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he
let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

12But Moses hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat
thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other
on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

13And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

Instruction To The Eleven

Mark 16:14:Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided
them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which
had seen him after he was risen.

15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every
creature.

16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be
damned.

17And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils;
they shall speak with new tongues;

18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them;
they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

19So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat
on the right hand of God.

20And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and
confirming the word with signs following. Amen.


Instruction to the appointed Seventy

Luke 10:1:After these things the LORD appointed other seventy also, and sent them two
and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.

And...

:17: And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject
unto us through thy name.
18And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

19Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the
power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

20Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather
rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

Acts 19:11:And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:

12So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the
diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.

I Tim 4:14: Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with
the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.

15Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may
appear to all.

II Tim. 1:6: Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which
is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
