The Power for March: Strength

The spiritual power for this month is represented by the disciple Andrew. The coordinating colour is light green and the physical location is in the small of the back.

Like all other Faculties, Strength is pivotal in its expression. When we rely on Spiritual Strength we can overcome every “Giant” as illustrated by David when he slew Goliath. David did not need a protective armor. He knew that God was his shield and buckler. Goliath relied on material and physical strength. He had on his armor and he was huge and physically strong. Yet he was defeated, for his reliance was not on the Strength of the All-mighty One. Jesus demonstrated Spiritual Strength. Before any demonstration, He always declared. “It is not I but the Father in me. He does the work” This supreme Strength can only be attained by unfailing trust in Spirit and a conservation of vital energies.

Affirmation:
“I am strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.”

Let us be mindful of this affirmation when we need a shift from physical and material Strength to Spiritual Strength. This statement invokes Strength for ourselves and “You are strong in the Lord and in the power of His might” invokes Strength for others.

Strength works best when it is supported by faith. So let us gird our loins with spiritual Strength and go forth in faith to do that which is ours to do. We must not allow ourselves to be discouraged by delay, setbacks or even the appearance of failure. “The Lord God is our stronghold.”
