Don’t Compromise
Many years ago, God gave me a prophecy. I was walking through a time of intense criticism and struggling with fear of man. It felt like everyone was against me and that I was standing alone. I couldn’t seem to get past it. Then one night, a man called me out during a meeting and said, “I see you on a racetrack. You’re out in front; you’re leading the way. But the crowd is yelling at you. They’re telling you that you’re doing everything wrong. And I see you getting off the track and going into the stands to argue with the spectators.” Then this man said, “Even if you win the argument, you’re going to lose the race. Forget the people. Stay on track.” Has that ever been a word from God for me!
Prayed…
Father, we keep our eyes fixed and focused on You
We keep our eyes looking up, and looking into what You have said we will do
By Your power and by Your grace, we will choose to obey You and Your Word
Yes, we will do what You say to do
If You say go, we will go, if You say wait, we will wait!
We will walk on the water, even though others say, no, you can’t!
It is our desire to do all that You have said we can do
Hallelujah, thank You, Lord
We want to be free, unhindered, unencumbered, enabled, and empowered
Strengthen and anoint us to do all that You have called each and every one of us to do

The following excerpt is taken from First of All & the Awakenings by Billye Brim:
Two Greek Words
First, the King James Version of the Bible uses one English word, power, to translate several different Greek words. The two of most interest to us here are: dunamis and exousia. The Companion Bible, Appendix 172, defines their meanings under the heading “The Synonymous Words of ‘Power’”:
1. dunamis= inherent power; the power of reproducing itself: from which we have Eng. Dynamics, dynamo, &c. See Acts 1.8.
2. exousia= authority, or, delegated power; the liberty and right to put forth power. See, e.g., John 1.12.
A police officer does not have the dunamis to stop heavy traffic. Human physical strength is no match for a motor vehicle. But when a uniformed officer holds up his or her hand, all traffic stops. The authority, exousia, behind the badge demands compliance. One scripture in which the KJV uses power to translate both words is Luke 10:19. I have inserted the Greek words.
Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power [exousia] to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power [dunamis] of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
The seventy, to whom Jesus spoke directly, did not have the dunamis power to dominate the demons of the kingdom of darkness. But Jesus delegated to them the authority (exousia) to dominate Satan’s cohorts.
Authority is delegated power.
Jesus defeated Satan and the kingdom of darkness for mankind by living a sinless life in the flesh…By His suffering and death at Calvary…By His triumph over death, hell, and the grave… In His making an open show of Satan’s defeat… and in His Resurrection. After He presented His blood to the Father, and the Father’s acceptance of that blood, Jesus returned to earth, and said something to His disciples that applies to all believers thereafter.
Matt. 18:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power [exousia] is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Matt. 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Matt. 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
In His Great Commission, He said, “All authority is given unto me in heaven and in earth, Go ye therefore…”
Jesus delegated the authority on the earth to His body on the earth.
The following is a prayer for our nation by Pastor Lynne Hammond:
Father, in the name of Jesus, and according to your Word, we pray for those in authority in our nation. We lift up President Donald Trump, his family, his staff and cabinet members. Let Your Word cling to them and let them not depart from your plan. Strengthen them with mighty power by your Spirit to stand against wickedness, lies and deception. Guide President Trump’s decisions; let Your light shine upon his path and show him the path of reversal for every evil way. Continually surround him with godly men and women who impart wise counsel to him. Cause the way of the wicked to be set to confusion and come to nothing. Deliver us from the traps and snares the enemy has laid for us, and let the wicked be caught in their own devises and be brought to shame.
We take authority over the plots and plans of the enemy against this nation. Let prideful and lying lips be silenced in Jesus’ name. Slanderers will not be established in America. We pray for our Congress, our Supreme Court, our Military leaders and our intelligence agencies. Let the wisdom that is from above reign in this nation and be constantly speaking to our leaders. We exercise the authority you have given us to tread down all the power of the enemy. We cast down and demolish imaginations and arguments that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God, and we bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. We bind spirits of strife and division, civil wars and tumults, spirits of hostility, lawlessness and blasphemy, and fires from hell that have burned in our cities.
We speak grace and peace over America. We pray and believe for the voice of truth, salvation, revival and restoration to be proclaimed and heard across our land. Grant unto your servants everywhere that with all boldness we may speak your Word. We pray for a mighty outpouring of your Spirit with signs, wonders and miracles. We expect the wisdom of this world that is earthly, sensual and devilish to depart and vanish until Your, mighty work in America becomes a beacon of hope for all people everywhere. We expect the voice of rejoicing to be heard in our nation for your goodness, mercy and prosperity, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
