A Sound Disciplined Mind-Mrs. Nancy Dufresne

One definition of the word psalm is a sacred song or poem. It can be sung or spoken. We have 150 of these recorded in the Old Testament book of Psalms. A hymn is a song of praise. A spiritual song is a song given by the Spirit of God that holds revelation of the Word. Psalms, hymns and spiritual songs are not songs one might sing out of a songbook, but they are fresh from heaven, given by the Spirit of God. This is another way one may continue to be filled with the Spirit. God’s plan under the New Covenant is for every believer to be filled with the Holy Spirit, for that is an emphasis of the New Testament. Living full of the Spirit enriches our lives in many ways, which includes helping us to live a spirit-led life, where our spirits take the lead instead of being dominated by our minds or our bodies. To be strong “in the power of His might” we must also have a strong, fervent prayer life, one that is based on the Word of God. James 5:16 tells us, “…The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes TREMENDOUS POWER AVAILABLE [dynamic in its working]” (Amplified). This kind of praying will cause the power of God to be made available, bringing it into manifestation. This kind of praying will help us to continue to be filled with the Spirit. “To be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might” means to be strong in the Word and the Spirit – be full of the Word and of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:10). As we live full of the Word and the Spirit, we can stand strong against any opposition.
