IntroductionGodhadcommissionedMosestodeliverIsraeloutoftheirslaveryinEgypt,
butMosesfelthewasnotequippedforthetask."Whatisthatinyourhand?”Godasked."Arod,"Mosesreplied.Hesawnospecialsignificanceinit.God proceeded to demonstrate to him the miraculous potential in that
seeminglyinsignificantrod—andMosesactuallyfledinterrorfromhisownrod!But when God showed him how to use the rod as an instrument of divineauthority,itwasallheneededtofulfillhistask.
WiththatrodMosesdefeatedthemagiciansofEgypt—strippedPharaohofhis power— humiliated Egypt's gods—and brought Israel out from slavery tofreedom.
You, too, have a rod in your hand: your Bible. If you can understand itsunlimited potential, you can use your Bible asMoses used his rod: to extendGod's authority into any situation where Satan opposes the people and thepurposesofGod.
Over the past three yearsRuth and I have been fighting a continuingwaragainstSatan,whohasopposedusandourministryinmanydifferentways.HisprimarygoalhasbeentokillRuth.InthiswartheHolySpirithastaughtushowtotaketheBibleasourrodandextendGod'sauthoritythroughitintoeveryareawhereSatanhasbeenopposingus.
