Ps. Leo Harris, in that moment, received an amazing revelation from God, and that was the understanding of the Authority of Christ. The understanding that God has given Jesus the Authority over Angels (Hebrews 1:4), authority over Principalities and Powers (Ephesians 1:19 22), over the Church and to Judge all people Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son. John 5:22. What an awesome authority has been delegated to the Son of God! Our faith in the Authority of Christ should be an incentive to victorious living. It should challenge and inspire us and make all Gods promises effective in our lives. Little wonder that the apostle John, on the Isle of Patmos, fell at His feet as dead (Revelation 1:17) when he saw the Risen Lord and heard his triumphant words Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.
Prayer: Lord, give me wisdom to understand how amazing the Authority You have given me is. I pray I may take a hold of that authority and have faith that through it I can do great things for Your Kingdom. Kingdom. Help me not to be afraid but understand that Your authority makes makes me victorious. victorious. Amen. Amen. Scripture Reading: Ephesians #1

Most of us try to live right in order to be ALL GOOD with God but this isnt how God wants it, in fact He asks us to first believe then gives us the power to live our lives right. Our standing, our position, our wealth, our rights and privileges in Christ are all by the Grace of God. (Ephesians 3:20 24) To be the best man or woman of God we can be, we must first understand who we are in Christ and the Authority we have been given. In as much as we are identified in Christ all that is said concerning Christ is also said concerning us. Christ has been given all authority and in Him so have we. Luke 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. With Christs authority we can lay hands on the sick, cast out demons, raise the dead and so much more. When we take hold of the inexhaustible resources of the Kingdom of God, which we have the authority to do, we can see lives transformed. Yesterday, we considered the key of the Authority of Christ. Here now is another key the authority of the believer in Christ, or should we say, the Authority of Christ in the believer. Let us cease justifying failures and let us convert our excuses into testimonies. Let us lay hold of the key that is offered to us, believe it and prove it.
Prayer: Thank You Lord for all You You have given to me. me. Thank Thank You for the authority I now have since I believed in You. You. I pray that You guide and help me to understand and take hold of that authority and put it into practice, in Jesus Jesus name, name, amen amen. men. Scripture: Luke #10:1 24

The Word has divine authority for when God spoke in Genesis 1 let there be there was. In fact the world itself is a by-product of Gods powerful Word spoken. Taking hold of the authority of the Word of God and understanding that His Word is truth, is crucial to growing in our faith. Weve all heard the saying Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. Well unfortunately this is not true Death and life are in the power of the tongue Proverbs 18:21. In fact words spoken over our lives can do great damage and they can leave lasting scars. Take hold what God has spoken over you through His Word its awesome! Psalms 139:13 14 For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Prayer: Thank You Lord that Your Your Word speaks love over me. I pray that I may take a hold of the authority of Your Word, and through it grow into a better person. I pray that my heart is open to the promises promises that You You have spoken over my life through the Word. ord. Give Give me opportunities to share Your Word with others, in Jesus Name, Name, Amen. Amen. Scripture: Hebrews #4

We need to remember that God doesnt say I am the Lord that could heal you or can heal you; no He said I am the God that heals you. Its a statement, a declaration. You see it is the very nature of God to heal the sick. Man may separate himself from the healing power of God by his sin, by his ignorance of Gods promises, by his disobedience, or sheer unbelief but God remains ever the same. Just as on the dullest day the sun still shines, but the clouds separate us from its warm rays, so Gods healing power is always there, always available, but clouds of fear, clouds of doubt, or clouds of disobedience, have crept in between God and ourselves. (Malachi 4:2) Gods healing rays are reaching out toward every one of us; we need to stop putting clouds in the way.
Prayer: Father Father I pray that You increase my faith so that I dont put clouds in the way of Your healing ability. I pray that in my life and the lives of those around me I have faith to know that You are the God that heals me, in Jesus name, amen. Scripture: Exodus #15:1 21
