In this life there will always be someone in authority over us. Authority is defined like this. au·thor·i·ty n. pl. au·thor·i·ties 1. a. The power to enforce laws, exact obedience, command, determine, or judge. Law enforcement can pull us over while driving because of their authority. The judge can rule and make judgment through his authority. In God’s authority demons flee, sick get healed, and people get free from chains and shackles in their life.
Did you know we have authority through Jesus? The bible says that we would do greater things than Jesus. Hard to imagine right but in (John 14:12) its right there. So then if we have the authority through Jesus why is it then we battle with so much sickness, lack, and emotional drama. I say emotional drama because one of the biggest battlefields in your life is in your head. That’s why Jesus said in (2 Corinthians 10:5) to take EVERY thought captive or make that thought obedient to Christ.
We do not have to be sick in body. If you have a relationship with your heavenly father and I don’t mean just on weekends and holidays but everyday love relationship than you should know that your father has already set you up to succeed at all you do. Just read (Deuteronomy 28:1-14). You don’t have to accept sickness just as when the mail person comes to your house. You don’t get the package until you signed for it. So don’t sign for that sickness no one said you had to speak it. Life and death are in the tongue (Proverbs 18:21) we have to remember that the power resides in our mouth. A lot of the time we say oh man I am sick or I feel sick. You just spoke death into your life as Proverbs has said. Instead say I am the blessed of the Lord I am well in body, mind, and spirit. By Jesus stripes I am healed. Maybe you’re dealing with lack of some sort and lack does not always mean financial either but lack in the least. Have you said I don’t have this or that? Have you said how am I going to do it? The bible says in (Philippians 4:13) we can do ALL things in Christ who gives us strength or my favorite (Isaiah 40:31) we have put too much trust in man and not enough in the son of man. We take our eyes off Jesus and begin to sink like Peter did when Jesus told peter to come out on the water to Him. So many times we see our situations so much bigger than our God. When we put God in the right perspective we can know that things will be alright.
Jesus can free us from any bondage, chains, or pitfalls in our lives. His arms are not too short that they cannot reach into the deepest or darkest pit as in (Isaiah 59:1). No drug, alcohol, lust, or any addictions can hold you. We are blood bought. God sent His son to pay a price we could never pay. We don’t have to live in condemnations house anymore. Know that you’re an heir of the highest God and that you are already victorious.
Today speak life. Tell the devil what is and that is he is a defeated foe. Tell that mountain to move in your life. Let the seeds of faith come alive in your spirit man and speak life, speak truth, and speak it often. Today know NO WEAPON formed against you will prosper and that every tongue that lies against you will be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). Please read (Psalm 91) let the word of the Lord encourage you today. You were meant for greatness and a greater purpose.
Dear father I ask that you reveal to your people the greatness you have planted inside of each and every one of them. I pray that every person that is calling out to you that you will hear their cry and that you will respond quickly to their needs. Father I ask today that you plant seeds of faith and boldness in their lives and that you begin to quicken to bring alive all that you have in store for them. Father stand them on your mountain let them taste your glory. Father keep and hold your people so that they may never forget the awesome power of your love, peace, and mercy. Today father teach them by your prompting of the holy spirit, Go with them in grace and mercy and let your peace be with them everywhere they go in your matchless name Lord.
