We Have Power and Authority

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: St. Luke 10:18-20

Worship song: Step on The Enemy

 


Meditation:

    Jesus has bestowed upon his disciples the authority to tread upon serpents, scorpions, and all enemies. The same empowering authority is given to every believer. We possess the right and liberty to exercise this authority boldly over every serpent and adversary. As children of God, we are equipped to trample on serpents and scorpions and every force of darkness. Nothing can harm us when we operate this divine power. Revelation 12 reminds us that the serpent, Satan, along with his cohorts of darkness, is actively working to deceive the world. 

    However, we will not be dismayed or discouraged, for while the serpent may bruise our heels, we are empowered through Jesus Christ to crush his head. Jesus Christ, the ultimate seed of the woman, triumphed over Satan through his death and resurrection. When the enemy strikes, remember we have been given the authority and power to impede his plans. 

    Our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual wickedness in high places and the rulers of darkness in this world. All these are united together to destroy our faith and defeat our God-given purpose. Do not be petrified, for He who is with us is greater than those against us. 

Let us pray:

    Adonai, my God in whom I put my trust, I exalt you, Lord, for your matchless power and greatness. Almighty God, we are grateful to you, O God, for the privilege granted to us to trample on and crush serpents and scorpions and to triumph over our enemies. Father, now that we know the power that we have, we come boldly to the throne of grace as we seek to exercise our divine power through the authority granted to us by Almighty God. With the authority granted to us, we declare every serpent spirit crushed in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Almighty God, we trample and crush the serpents that rise against us. Father, by the power and authority granted to us, we crush the serpent of lies, fears, and deception, and we march on as victors over our adversaries. We declare victory over every evil scheme and plan of the adversary in the name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. Amen. 

Blessings. 🙏🙏

    Blessed morning. God is faithful. Pray with me. Learning to lean. Learning to lean. I am learning to lean on Jesus. Finding more power than I ever dreamed. I am learning to lean on Jesus. Loving God, help me trust you with my decisions and future. Let me lean on you with all my heart instead of relying on my own imperfect understanding. Give me clear guidance in my life. I ask for your help to direct my path.Help me to follow you with all my heart, even when it's difficult. Guide my steps and fill me with your peace. I rest in your love and trust that you will make my paths straight. Amen. Stay Blessed. 🙌🏾

Spiritual Decline

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Isaiah 59:1-4 Worship song: Here's My Heart   Meditation:      Spiritual decline refers to a decrease or deterioration of one's connection to the Divine, marked by a decline in faith, moral integrity, spiritual wisdom, or religious devotion. This is often caused by disobedience to God's word, increased idolatry practices, indulgence in worldly pleasures, and a decrease in godly and ethical standards. Neglecting to pray and a lack of spiritual energy, demonstrated by a loss of desire to worship and connect with other believers, mark the beginning of all spiritual decline.       When we neglect God's divine direction and uphold our own standards, it demonstrates spiritual blindness and a hardness of heart. It is our unholy actions that create a barrier between us and God. As stated in Isaiah 52, our wrongful actions caused God to turn away, preventing Him from hearing our pleas as He withdraws Himself f...

Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalms 139 Worship song: Where Can I Go   Meditation:      Overwhelmed with emotion, the Psalmist reflects on God's incredible, infinite power and omnipresence, marveling that God is intimately acquainted with every detail of his life, even his most hidden thoughts and feelings. God's wisdom and knowledge are unattainable; none has the power to obtain them. While we can earn academic titles, and be blessed with the spirit of discernment, we can never earn the boundless wisdom and knowledge that belong only to God. The Psalmist acknowledged that God's power is beyond human understanding. He realizes he cannot hide from God because God is always watching.       As Psalm 139 states, there is nowhere to flee from God's presence. Though we might hide our wrongdoings and indulgences from human view, all our actions, whether righteous or wicked, are laid exposed before God to whom we must give account. We cannot ...

The Stumbling Blocks

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Ezekiel 14:1-8 Worship song: At Your Feet   Meditation:      The Lord rescued the Israelites from Egypt and took them away from their lifestyle of bondage in slavery and their customary worship of idols. The Israelites encountered the love of God and were granted freedom through his divine power. Nonetheless, they regularly transgressed against the Lord and returned to idolatry, and for that, many of them did not reach the promised land. Like the Israelites, many of us, after encountering freedom, have returned to our former lifestyle, allowing our self-will and desires to cause us to be entangled again in the yoke of sin and transgressions.       Those who believe in Christ experience a spiritual rebirth, a transformation from their old lifestyle governed by sin to a new spiritual identity in Christ. Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old, for Christ can do a new thing in you. Esca...

Squatters Occupying the Land

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Numbers 34:1-13 Worship Song: Way Maker   Meditation:      God made a covenant with Abraham in which he promised he would multiply his seed and make of him a great nation. God promised to bless him and his generation and give them the land of Canaan. The land was already occupied by various inhabitants, but God had to evict them so that Abraham and his descendants could possess the land. Our thoughts and hearts are vulnerable to the controlling influence of Satan's forces, who act as spiritual squatters.       To remove these spiritual intruders, we must invite Jesus Christ to take possession of our inner lives. Satan and his cohorts will remain inhabitants until we actively invite Jesus Christ into our lives to forcibly evict these unwanted spiritual tenants. Jesus Christ wants the Holy Spirit, the Comforter to reside within us, but we are too comfortable frolicking with the residents that he wants to dri...
