You've Got the Power

This morning, as I was walking on the Board Walk, I turned and started walking towards the rising sun.  I couldn't help but begin to Praise His name as I walked towards its direction.  My praising reminded me that we have the power.  In Revelation 4 John writes about what he is seeing in heaven.  He writes that "Each of the four living creatures has six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stopped saying:

"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come."

In verse nine he goes on to say that

"Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives forever and ever, the twenty four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives forever and ever.  They lay their crowns before the thrown and say, 'You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being'."

 A few years ago, the Lord spoke to me about this verse and how we, like the living creatures in heaven, have power when we are praising Him.  He showed me that we too are living creatures and when we give thanks to him who sits on the throne forever and ever that the twenty four elders fall down before him and worship him forever and ever.  We have the power!  This is an awesome insight to know that when we praise Him here on earth that we create a reaction in the heavens that is a reflection of what is happening here.    We have the power!  But, do we use it to its fullest potential?  I don't think so because as I continued to reflect the Lord showed me water flowing from the heavens. It wasn't rain, but rather a sheet of water.  Just imagine when something like a sink overflows and you have a large amount of water running over the side. The impression I had in my spirit is that God is just waiting for us to praise Him so much that the heavens overflow back to the earth and that we keep this flow of praising Him going strong so that the waters will never stop flowing. This has so many implications...we can keep the well from running dry....we can be continually washed...the world around us can be transformed...but, not if we don't use our power....
