Power means different things to different people. For some, it leads them to enter into a role of participating with the Father in setting the captives free. For others, it is the cause for tremendous abuse, the means by which they build their own kingdom. For some, it gives them the freedom to boldly proclaim the Truth. For others, the Truth as they have refashioned it. We are surrounded by those sent to revive us, as well as those who have even greater weights to place upon us. Power gives some us the authority required to fill the space of Creation that we have been called into. But at points throughout history, even now in the days in which we live, power has led to devastation and abuse. Those of us who have been instilled with the ability to influence others must be so watchful of how we carry such a blessing, suspicious of even the slightest evidence of misuse among our equals. Those called to rule must do so with a spirit of liberating grace towards others. Our command must not be that of a tyrant, lest we become the very ones from whom people must be rescued. The gift of power is the calling to release all in need of such. Our strength must be used to protect the weak, to encourage potential, and to care for those who have been cast off. Good must surpass the intensity of evil in the world today. How can we who have the capacity to make change happen stand by and condemn our environment? The privilege of making right that which is wrong is one that we cannot afford to squander. The call goes out to position ourselves between the offenders and the offended, those who create and those who destroy. To remain quiet is to grant approval. Those with the power to perform, we need you to take your much needed place and live out your calling. We need your power, for you to act on our behalf!
