Hank & Brenda Kunneman on Sunday Service


Scripture

"Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you."

Luke 10:19

In uncertain times, many believers struggle with how to pray effectively. Jesus’ words in Luke 10:19 remind us that we have divine authority—not just spiritually, but in everyday life. This means engaging our communities and standing against evil with bold faith.

Jesus gives us both supernatural power (dunamis) and delegated authority (exousia) to act on His behalf. Prayer is our weapon to activate this authority. Bold, specific prayers can shift atmospheres, expose corruption, and establish righteousness. Imprecatory prayers, as referenced by Charles Spurgeon, aren’t about harming individuals but dismantling the darkness influencing them.

Throughout Scripture, God’s people stood firm against opposition. The apostles boldly proclaimed the gospel despite threats, and Paul confronted idolatry in Athens. Like them, we are called to engage culture, not retreat.

Luke 10:19 is not just a promise—it’s a call to action. When we trust in God’s love, we can take bold steps, serve others, and stand for truth. As Hank & Brenda Kunneman say, “When you aim at heaven, God throws earth in.” Prioritizing God’s kingdom aligns us with His purposes and brings His provision and peace.

Recognize where you need to stand firm in faith and pray boldly for God’s righteousness to be established. Step out in faith to be a light in your community, knowing that even when you don’t see immediate results, God is working all things together for good. Stay faithful—His power is at work in and through you.

REFLECTION

As you go through your day, remember: you are empowered, equipped, and called to make a difference. Step out in faith and trust that God’s authority in you can transform lives, communities, and nations.

Infirmity: Understanding Physical Weakness and Its Implications In our fast-paced world, where strength and vigor are often associated with productivity and capability, the concept of infirmity or physical weakness tends to carry significant stigma.
