The Power of Dorothy!: Spiritually Speaking: Words of Power and Inspiration for Everyone! - 9781490817224

This book shows God's awesome power in today's chaotic world. Power is strength, strong natural or moral abilities, potency, possessing or exerting with great force, or an inward, God-given gift. At the end of The Wizard of Oz, we learn that Dorothy possesses the power to reach her happy destination, but didn't know how to use it! Such is the life of many Christians today. After the resurrection, Jesus said the following to His disciples: "And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth" (Matthew 28:18). This book tells how we can effectively use the power that Jesus died and rose from the dead to give us. In order to live a victorious, abundant life, we must first be plugged in to the power source. This comes by receiving Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior (being born again), being baptized in water and of the Spirit, and be directed by God's Holy Spirit through the awesome power of prayer! When Dorothy finds herself in the Land of Oz, she follows the instructions of the Good Witch, uses the power she already possesses, and finds her way home. Likewise, we can exercise the power we already possess by following the commandments of the Good Shepherd (John 10:11)! Strangely, we can learn a lot from a fairy tale, can't we?
