The Greek word Dunamis (from which our English word dynamite comes) describes God’s power available for us who believe. In its various meanings, it means
“Power, ability, strength,
a. inherent power, power residing in a thing by virtue of its nature, or which a person or thing exerts and puts forth
b. power for performing miracles
c. moral power and excellence of soul
d. the power and influence which belong to riches and wealth
e. power and resources arising from numbers; power consisting in or resting upon armies, forces, hosts.”
Prayer literally is like seeding the clouds over our life with dynamite. And making it rain.
As my friend Paul Miller says, to say, “All I can do now is to pray,” is like saying, “All I can do now is detonate my nuclear bomb!”
So Lord, detonate your nuclear bomb over my life.
And, in advance, thank you. Oh, wonderful God!!
