Release Your Power!!!

Oh man! Last night at church the message was titled "Release Your Power". I woke up this morning thinking about it so you know it was goood! The scripture references were Luke 9:1,2,6; Ephesians 3:20 (my favorite scripture) and Acts 3:1-5.

The minister talked about how God has given us too much power to be walking around defeated and letting the devil beat up on us. Jesus freely gives us power and authority once we accept Him as LORD and SAVIOR. So why are we still on the bench? Get off the bench, get on the field, and get in position! We can't walk in authority if we don't activate the power that is within us. She also said that we didn't sign up to be in God's reserved army! We signed up to join the fight! The front line!

It was confirmation for me because the night before I was thinking about how real spiritual warfare is. I have learned that we have to open our mouths and confess, profess and decree the promises of God. It's time out for being quiet. She asked us if we are willing to take hell just to prove God right? I am! Because I know who takes care of me and who has been taking care of me all this time. Even when I didn't acknowledge Him. The devil is on attack in our families, our health, our marriages, our finances, our jobs, our minds and our spirits. God gave us power of ALL demons (Luke 9:1). We are in Christ and Christ has already defeated the devil (John 16:33). At the name of Jesus demons tremble (James 2:19). So exercise your authority over the things the devil is after. Resist the devil and he will flee! (James 4:7).

1 John 4:4 Greater is HE who is in me, than he who is in the world.


PEACE & BLESSINGS!
