Might is one of the flames of the Spirit, and nobody has been a better example of spiritual might on earth than the Lord Jesus Christ.
Through out the Bible we see examples of might in the dealings of God, which He is careful to show us, when small numbers of men conquer huge armies. Gideon’s testimony of victory, Moses’ testimony including the plagues and the crossing of the Red Sea, Joshua’s testimony of the fall of Jericho, Jehoshaphat’s victory against his enemies, David’s victory at Ziklag, Deborah’s victory, Esther’s testimony of deliverance, not to mention Samson who was particularly and peculiarly anointed with might, the awesome exploits of David’s mighty men, and Elijah’s victory on Mount Carmel testify to the specific anointing of Might.
It would be remiss to neglect the builders when we have acknowledged the territory takers. It takes might to do what Nehemiah did in restoring the wall of Jerusalem. It takes might to usher in a period of revival and spiritual restoration. And Jesus came in might, to save, redeem and restore. He came in might to rebuke storms, walk on the sea, multiply food, heal the sick and raise the dead. There is a flame for the flow of might.
Indeed in the words of Jesus: Acts 1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” The anointing of might is especially for witness and most commonly seen in the ministry of the evangelist as well as churches where the flame of His witness is kept burning, where there is a real desire for relationship with the Holy Spirit and restoration. 1 Corinthians 2:4 “My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.”
The secret of the anointing of the spirit of might is the same as of old, Isaiah 40:31 “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”
And likewise in the New Testament: Acts 1: 4 And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me;” There is a need to wait on the Lord, waiting in intimacy and relationship as the bride of Christ, and there should be a real desire to arise and do the work of the Lord- the ministry of reconciliation. Where these two attributes are found, there is the flame of the Spirit as MIGHT!
