God has helped the Hour of Power achieve each milestone and face every circumstance over the past 40 years of ministry. The number 40 holds special meaning and significance in the Bible, too, where 40 often signifies a time of preparation with a promise of bigger things to come.
- The flood came as the rain fell on Noah's ark for 40 days and 40 nights…and then came a rainbow.
- God led the Israelites in the wilderness for 40 years before he gave them the Promised Land.
- Jesus fasted and prayed alone in the wilderness for 40 days before he began his earthly ministry.
- After Christ's crucifixion and resurrection, he was seen throughout his community for 40 days.
Today, the Hour of Power optimistically looks toward the future, believing with all our hearts that, as God’s people provide the lifting power necessary to keep this ministry moving forward, we will see glorious possibilities unfold.
