Time To Use Your Authority

Time To Use Your Authority

Exodus 14:15–16- And the Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward. 16- But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it…

The problem with the body of Christ today is not that we are not praying. We are praying. But many of us are praying desperate prayers. We are praying, “God, help… God, please… God, do something about my problem!”

If you are smiling a little by now, most likely, you know about such prayers and might have prayed a couple yourself. My friend, God does not want you to pray pleading prayers all the time. He wants you to use the authority He has given you to pray powerful prayers, to boldly command and to “stretch out your hand” and see miracles happen.

When Moses stood before the Red Sea with Pharaoh’s army in hot pursuit, the Bible tells us that he cried out to God. But God told him, “Why do you cry to Me?”

There is a time for you to cry out to God and there is a time for you to use your authority. God told Moses, “Tell the children of Israel to go forward. But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it.”

The “rod” you have today is the name of Jesus. As you command in Jesus’ name, your “sea” will open and you will go on dry ground through the midst of your problem.

Do you realize that Jesus did not say, “Go and pray for the sick”? He said,” Go and heal the sick.” (Matthew 10:8) So stop pleading and asking all the time, and start using the authority you have in Christ.

Jesus told the church, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore…” (Matthew 28:18–19) My friend, God wants you to go and use the authority that He has given you. And as you go, miracles will flow!

Confession:
When I start using the authority I have in Christ, miracles will flow. I command mountains move in Jesus precious name.

    Luke 9:1-2; 10:19 When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick… [and to 72 others He said, 10:19] I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. I will use the authority with the power of the Holy Spirit and command every mountain to bow in the name of JESUS CHRIST I command every door to my destiny to be open by the authority and power given to me by my Lord and savour JESUS CHRIST AMEN.

    Praise the Lord! All that we need to overcome our problems has already been provided to us! Authority, Dominion, Power – all is ours through Christ Jesus. It’s time to begin putting this into action – it’s time to begin to proclaim what isn’t as if it is; declaring what we want to see. So many times, the Lord must have replied our prayers with ‘Why do you cry out to Me?’, but because we are so busy feeling sorry for ourselves, we lose sight on the finished works of Christ and the true authority, dominion and power that has been given to us! More testimonies are coming to The Refuge Church this year as we continuously use our authority! So excited for this years manifestation of Wonders Without Limits and it has already begun!

    Thank you so much sir for this powerful, powerful devotion! God bless and increase you sir and give you more strength to impact lives and change destinies through His platform at The Refuge Church, amen.

    Indeed, the same power and authority manifest in Jesus is now available to us as believers. Jesus says: “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.” (John 14:12).
    When we pray and believe it will be done as Jesus says whatever he ask for in my name believing, we shall receive.
    Thank you Lord for your word. “It is written ^

  16. HALLELUJAH GLORY BE TO GOD, in the beginning it was so God gave us Dominion ,and authority in Genesis 1:26,28 . His purpose for man is to take charge of things He created. As God created us in His own image and likeness , the same power have given to us to speak for things that are not as though they were .
    This power,Dominion or authority is to command challenges principalities, lack ,infirmities out of our lives and call forth things we want to become. Even in the new testament Jesus said all power and authority have been given unto me . What can nit happen to JESUS can nit happen to us For we have been made complete in Him who is the Head over all power and authority :colossians 2:10
    So When I start using the authority I have in Christ, miracles will flow. I command mountains move in Jesus precious name.
    Thank you so much pastor for this powerful devotion, may the strength the grace and the power of God rest upon you sir 🙏
    We love and celebrate you sir.

  17. Amen! What a mighty God we serve. He believes in us so much that He graced us with Son so that things will be well with us and we can operate as Christ did, with authority in all things. Today we rule, command, have authority over this earth, overcome and proclaim our victory through Christ. There are times where desperate prayers will be required, but this year we will see and operate in the Kingdom mindset. Understanding we have Dominion, Power and Authority to Command and Draw forth what is ours, even if we don’t qualify for it or it exceeds our expectations. We serve the Most High who delights in us being above and not beneath in all matters concerning this earth. Therefore I declare that as I operate boldly in the Dominion, Power and Authority Christ has impacted in me, miracles, signs and wonders without limits will flow forever more in mine and my families lives in Jesus name. And I command mountains to move and be removed in Jesus precious name, amen.

    Thank you so much Pastor, God bless all you pour into these devotionals to help us grow into God’s desire for our lives. May the Lord enable yours Sir and Mama Joy’s cup to be in an abundance of overflow in Jesus mighty name, amen!
