In The Fellowship of The Ring,
Tolkien has the wizard, GANDALPH,
say many unique things.

He says once to Frodo…
“It’s is not ours to decide the time we are in…. it is up to us to decide what to do with the time given us”.

In The Two Towers
GANDALPH says this …
of their adversaries,

“ They have the power of their
Master in them…
and they will stand or fall in him”.

Let that phrase sit in your ear and on your mind a minute.

The Power of their Master.

The Master who walked in Israel and ministered throughout that land, told His followers that,

“All Power has been given unto me”.

He told them in John’s Gospel that whosoever followed Him would be indwelt with and possess that same Power.

He even told them that they could do greater works than He had, because of that indwelling power,
which He bestowed upon them when He breathed upon them and told them to …. “ receive ye The Holy Ghost”.

Jesus followers have His Power in them…

to appropriate and put to full use.

Gandalph’s  words, while not prophetic about our stance today, ring true because of what Christ gave us.

He gave us….through those who walked with and followed Him

HIS  WORDS.

He gave us 

and breathed into those who follow Him…

His Spirit.

That same Spirit brings Jesus’ Words to those who seek Him and brings Jesus’ Power to those He calls and commissions.

Jesus followers have
The Power of their Master in them…
and will stand or fall IN HIM.
The Scripture says ….

“ in Him we live and move
and have our being”.

He spoke His Words to us saying…
“The things I do, ye shall do,
and greater things than these
shalt thou do
because I go to The Father.”

Know this….

Believe this…

Live this…

We have The Power of our Master
in us…
and we shall stand or fall In HIM.
