God gives his message power and providentially supports those who deliver it. God told Jeremiah his word would be like a fire to devour the sinful people. (Jeremiah 5:14; also note 20:9) Elijah had power over the rain and Moses was able to turn the water to blood. (2 Kings 17:1; 2 Kings 18:1-37; Exodus 7:20-25) Though we have no New Testament record of those actual happenings, God did, and does, powerfully defend his messengers. (Acts 12:1-25; especially 20-23; Luke 18:7-8)
