Word from the Father
If you have power and no one to obey you, how can you demonstrate it? No matter how powerful you are, and there's no platform for you to act, the power will become useless. And if you're powerful and lack control over it, you'll misuse it. A powerful man without wisdom is worse than a foolish man. If you see a powerful man who could solve your problem, and you fail to believe, you deliberately shut the door of help to yourself. Obedience and power go hand in hand. I Am the Almighty God. I Am the Great I Am That I Am. I Am the Owner of every power. Everything originated from Me.
When Naaman heard about My son Elisha, what did he do? He asked his master for permission. If you ask, you shall receive. He got what he requested. He set out with his team and lots of gifts for My son. When he got there, did My son come out to meet him? He was a leper, and there's a way to deal with such people. They should live in isolation because it's a powerful demon. He only sent a servant to tell him what he should do. Though he was angry, he obeyed. Whether you obey willingly, or somebody persuades you to obey, as long you do what you were asked, either willingly or reluctantly, you'll get a positive result. He was desperate for a solution. That's why he set out from his country to another country.
What did My son ask him to do? He was to bathe himself in a dirty river! Was it easy for him? Did he obey? What happened in the end? He got a positive result! That means there is power in obedience. Two things took place there—spiritual power and obedience. Many of you want a solution to your problem; however, you cannot pay the price. Even if you see or hear about My servant who has the power to find the solution to your problem, you will not believe it, and even if you get there, you'll not do whatever he asks you to do because it sounds foolish to you. Right from the beginning, My word is always foolish. The spiritual solution is always foolish because evil sounds foolish to all of you. That's why Satan could easily rock the boat of your life. But remember, with faith, even the most foolish of tasks can lead to the greatest of miracles.
Elisha was just a Prophet, while Naaman was an Army General. Physically, he was in a position of power higher than My son. Why didn't his position solve his problem? That means power is greater than power. There are physical and spiritual powers; the latter is greater than the former. You cannot compare an ant with a cockroach. There's a huge difference between both. Today, there is no such power in the church anymore because all of you refuse to settle Me. You refuse to do My will. You cannot heal a leper with an empty vessel. Many of you are like empty vessels. You've exchanged the power I gave to you with the things of this Earth. All of you should go back and learn from the lives of My servants in the time of old. Remember, it is through your obedience that you can tap into the spiritual power that is greater than any earthly power.
