Today, I attended our women's Bible study at church, where we explored the concept of authority that we possess as believers. As we are now seated with Christ Jesus in the heavenly realm, we have been granted authority by Jesus himself. He has declared that we will accomplish greater things in his name than he did during his earthly ministry. However, we often struggle with passivity and fear of offending others, which leads us to hesitate in exercising our authority. It is essential that we learn to align our earthly perspective with our heavenly reality, recognizing that we are already seated with Christ Jesus at the right hand of the Father. We must learn to walk in the authority that he has bestowed upon us, praying with confidence and commanding things to be brought into the light, in accordance with God's Word and promises. As believers, we have the right to decree the manifestation of God's promises in our lives. Unfortunately, many of us fail to exercise this authority, including myself. Although I have been a Christian for a long time and have been gifted and used by God in various ways, I still feel that I am not where I want to be in my walk with Christ Jesus. I am actively seeking to learn how to walk in the authority that he has given me, as I believe I once did, but have since lost focus due to the passage of time and the distractions of life. It is crucial that we learn to maintain our focus, remain grounded in the Word, and prioritize prayer and fellowship with the Lord. By doing so, we will gain a deeper understanding of who God is and who we are in him. This is my reflection for today, and I hope that you have listened intently.
