The Mighty Who Didn’t Know It
Wednesday, June 17, 2026
The La Sante prison, built in 1867 in France, is considered hard to escape from. But in 1927, Leon Daudet escaped by simply walking out the front gate. One of Daudet’s friends telephoned the warden, falsely claiming that Daudet had been pardoned. Daudet was escorted out the front gate and set free. Only later did they discover it was a prison break. If you believe a lie, you become subject to the lie. A secure prison that doesn’t think it has the legal power to keep a prisoner will become weak. A strong man who believes he’s really weak will act weak. So too, the enemy of our faith bombards us with lies. He’ll tell you, “You’re weak, bound to your sins, you can never break free, you don’t have the power to overcome, and you’ll never really know a life of victory, joy, peace, and fulfillment.” If you believe that you don’t have the power, then you won’t use the power you do have. Don’t believe the lie! You have the power of God to overcome all bondages, all sins, and all obstacles. Believe the good news and overcome. You have the power!

We have complete assurance that the LORD our God is unfathomably Holy, incomprehensibly all-loving and all-powerful. So, let’s look at the promises of Mark 9:23: What if a parent prays for healing of a young child and the child dies? How do we answer that? I submit: We don’t, except to embrace our faith and believe, praising the Lord through the power of the Holy Spirit! (Back to the “power of the gift”) : The prayer will ultimately be answered eternally beyond our expectations. Incomprehensible? Of course!
