Good morning believing ones!
As BELIEVERS, it’s good when we recognize we have spiritual authority, but we must also know how to use it. This authority goes beyond religion ~ it has to do with RELEASING OUR FAITH IN SPIRITUAL LAWS. Authority is simply the right to use God’s power by enforcing these laws. Similar to earthly police officers who enforce the laws of the land, we have received authorization to enforce the laws of the Spirit. This authority doesn’t come from us, but directly from Jesus.
Family, we have been given authority and power in the Name of Jesus, but we have a responsibility to keep our part of the covenant by speaking and walking in it.
God created us in His Own image and likeness. He blessed them, gave them dominion over the earth and everything in it, and told them to be fruitful and multiply (see Genesis 1:27-28).
Jesus said we could move mountains by speaking to them, but we must first believe in our heart that we are able to do this and can make it happen. This is what Mark 11:23 tells us.
We must remember that God is the One Who gave us the power to get wealth. This was to establish His covenant with us (see Deuteronomy 8:18). See, when we give, we receive in the same measure that we gave. This is a specific instruction on how to achieve these SPIRITUAL LAWS. They only work if we believe enough to do what the Scriptures tell us to do in this area.
God commands blessings on us, and in everything we put our hand to. He will open the windows of heaven for us, according to Deuteronomy 28:8, 12. He promises to bless us, but we must obey Him and do what He’s asked us to do.
Releasing my faith in God’s spiritual laws,
