Our Spiritual Authority

We’ve received multiple blessings from God. One of those blessings is the ability to get the results we want in life because of His unearned, undeserved favor toward us. Healing, deliverance, prosperity, salvation, joy, and everything else we need to live fulfilling lives are available to us; our faith takes possession of them. The spiritual laws empowering us to receive these benefits are at our disposal; as believers, we’re authorized to enforce those laws.

One of those laws states that when we speak God’s Word and constantly meditate on it, we make our way prosperous and have good success. Another reassures us that if we trust in God with our whole heart and don’t lean on our own understanding, He’ll direct our path. Yet another reminds us that the just shall live by faith.

During His ministry, Jesus told His disciples to heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, and cast out devils; we have the same ability He has. Those who believe on Him will not only do the same works that He did, but even greater works than those. The power to fulfill these directives comes directly from Him. This is no small thing; our faith in the spiritual principles God established makes it possible to do what’s impossible by earthly standards.

Believers have the power to experience victory over any situation. By going to the cross and shedding His blood, Jesus replaced the Law of Moses with the law of love, which is the greatest weapon we have in our arsenal. Under grace, all the law is fulfilled in one word: love your neighbors as yourself. If we fulfill the royal law according to this Scripture, we do well.

Prayer:

God, You set us apart from the rest of the world by giving us the same ability to get results that You have. We receive this power by faith in Jesus. Thank You for doing what You did. In Jesus’ name, amen.
