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.
