Last night while in prayer I had a vision of the ‘Hunga Tonga’ Volcanic Eruption, as it was seen from space. When I first saw the image on television, it was amazing to see, and here in New Zealand we heard the explosion 2000 kilometers away. The plume went up for 58ks (190,000 feet). To give you an idea of how high this was, passenger jets fly between 30,000 to 40,000 feet. The mountain next to where I live is 8,260 feet high. After the explosion the sonic pressure waves from the volcano travelled 6 times around the world at 720mph.

Jesus said these amazing words before He died on the cross. He spoke of the days ahead when He would share His New Resurrection Life with the Church. Most of us can get our heads around the fact that He would be going back to the Father, and that He is now in our hearts as a ticket to heaven, but this whole idea of being one with Him, is just too hard to understand, and maybe a misprint.

“Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. After two days will he revive us: In the third day he will raise us up, (Restore us) and we shall live in his sight. Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.” Hosea 6:1-3

“But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” Daniel 12:4

“I want to remind you that your strength must come from the mighty power within you.” Ephesians 6 10 Living Bible.

Something I've learned as I've got older, is the need to tap into the mighty power that's available within me in Christ. It's a must.When you're young, you're inclined to trust in your own strength more than in God's. But as you get older, you realise the need to trust Him more and more.
