The hand of the Lord is something that the church needs to witness in this day and age. When you see “The hand of the Lord”: 1) It speaks of God’s power expressed in judgement. 2) It speaks of God’s power expressed in blessing. There will be judgement on somebody and blessing on the other. The church should be expecting God’s Hand to avenge them of their adversary: Satan. God’s Mighty Hand works on the behalf of His people: not only in the Old Testament but also in the New Testament.
Deuteronomy 5:15 Joshua 4:24 Psalm 89:13 Psalm 98:1 Psalm 118:15-16 Isaiah 59:1 1 Peter 5:6 Acts 4:26-33 Acts 11:19-21 “And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned to the Lord.” Acts 13:6-12 (NLT) 6 Afterward they traveled from town to town across the entire island until finally they reached Paphos, where they met a Jewish sorcerer, a false prophet named Bar-Jesus. 7 He had attached himself to the governor, Sergius Paulus, who was an intelligent man. The governor invited Barnabas and Saul to visit him, for he wanted to hear the word of God. 8 But Elymas, the sorcerer (as his name means in Greek), interfered and urged the governor to pay no attention to what Barnabas and Saul said. He was trying to keep the governor from believing. 9 Saul, also known as Paul, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and he looked the sorcerer in the eye. 10 Then he said, “You son of the devil, full of every sort of deceit and fraud, and enemy of all that is good! Will you never stop perverting the true ways of the Lord? 11 Watch now, for the Lord has laid his hand of punishment upon you, and you will be struck blind. You will not see the sunlight for some time.” Instantly mist and darkness came over the man’s eyes, and he began groping around begging for someone to take his hand and lead him. 12 When the governor saw what had happened, he became a believer, for he was astonished at the teaching about the Lord. John 10:29 “My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.” John 10:28-29 (MSG) “I give them real and eternal life. They are protected from the Destroyer for good. No one can steal them from out of my hand. The Father who put them under my care is so much greater than the Destroyer and Thief. No one could ever get them away from him. I and the Father are one heart and mind.” The hand of the Lord is something that the church needs to witness in this day and age. The Lord said to Jerry Savelle, “My people are letting their adversary get away with too much and they’re not making him pay for what he’s put them through.” When you see “The hand of the Lord”: 1) It speaks of God’s power expressed in judgement. 2) It speaks of God’s power expressed in blessing. There will be judgement on somebody and blessing on the other. The church should be expecting God’s Hand to avenge them of their adversary: Satan. The judgement came on the church’s adversary. The judgement of God came on the root of the problem, the devil. And multitudes were added to the church. When the Hand of the Lord is manifested, satan is about to be penalized. The church and believers will be compensated. Luke 18: 1-8 This passage is an example of the church asking God to cause the devil to pay for what he’s stolen from us. “Avenge me of my adversary.” Jesus said “Hear what the judge says” Hear means Pay attention to! Lend an ear to! Jesus said it would be avenged speedily. Look at the AMPC Luke 18:1-8 The woman knew that she had rights and had a right to ask for justice. Avenge me of my adversary in the Greek implies that she was not asking for a legal solution only but also an immediate cease of actions from her adversary and to be compensated of the damages caused. The definition of avenger is: a person who exacts punishment or inflicts harm in return for an injury or wrong. Remember that God is limited to do here only what we in faith ask Him to do. Proverbs 6:30 A thief caught must pay seven-fold! Psalm 126:4 NLT Restore our fortunes, Lord, as streams renew the desert. That is God the Avenger! By Mary Leonard
