DEFINITION
A finger is one of the five members at the end of the hand. The fingers are used for work. Also, fingerprints are used to identify individuals, while thumbprints especially can stand in the place of signatures.
The finger of God is a term often used to describe the power that has God’s “thumbprint” or signature on it. When the exercise of miraculous power is unquestionably divine (not devilish), the ancients would scream,” This is the finger of God!”

CONTEXT
In Luke chapter 11, Jesus cast out demons from a mute man. At the end, the man began to speak. His detractors, however, claimed that He was using evil powers to cast out demons. In His answer Jesus explained that He was casting out demons with the finger of God.
Also, in Exodus 8, Aaron was commanded to strike the ground with his rod. He did, and lice covered all the Egyptians and their beasts. The magicians of Egypt tried to imitate the miracle, but could not. They surrendered, and acknowledged that this was the finger (power) of God.

RELEVANCE
1. The finger of God can be used to cast out demons. Generally, during deliverance ministration, you can bind and cast out devils by the finger of God. When you say, “I cast you out by the finger of God”, what you are saying in essence is that you cast the demon out by the omnipotent power of God.
2. The finger of God as a spiritual weapon can be used to silence lying spirits. This is useful either during deliverance sessions or in warfare prayers.
3. The finger of God can be used to overcome the powers and charms of magicians, witches and wizards. It can be used to render them powerless and to disgrace all who use evil powers.
4. It can also be used to overcome the spirit of infirmity. When sickness in the body has manifest or latent demonic roots, the finger of God can be used to deal with the situation.
