Dear Child,
My delegated authority is a gift, but I must know that I can trust you with that authority.
Your obedience to My authority proves your reliability as an ambassador of My kingdom.
Your life must portray the values and principals of My Kingdom.
Adam lost that authority by disobedience, My Son gained back that status for My church, but it will be void and powerless without obedience!
Without obedience, the enemy of your soul has a part in you and you will have sold out that authority once again to the enemy.
Be obedient and walk humbly before Me, that I may empower your calling and your life.
Then your calling and life will bring glory to My name.
Nobody entrusts authority to a child! So grow up! My church must grow up to see My power displayed within My Body.
Thus saith Papa to His children
Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy:
Mark 13:34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
Mat 8:9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. The centurion in this story realized that to have authority, one must be under authority.
If we are to carry the delegated authority of heaven, we must ourselves be subject to the authority of heaven. The power of authority all turns on the ambassador’s own obedience.
Challenge: Are you lacking spiritual authority because of disobedience in some area of your life?
