In order for us to accomplish anything great for the Lord and for our own personal lives, we have to understand the power we possess in Christ. As I’m climbing towards my dreams, overcoming obesity and other vices and habits that stand in my way, I need more than just head knowledge of Christ’s power, but I have to possess and walk in power plus authority if I’m going to accomplish anything great for the Kingdom of God. So, what’s the problem?
If I can’t overcome satan with my own personal battles, how will I be able to tear down satan’s Kingdom in the world and be effective for Christ? How will I be able to accomplish anything great upon the earth and see my dreams come true if I don’t first learn to properly overcome the small things including my own flesh? This is my quest in my journey to overcome: to learn how to conquer my OWN strongholds FIRST so I can learn to walk in the fullness of the Supernatural Power + Authority of Christ.
The Lord’s been really ministering to me about Ephesians Chpt’s 1 and 2. There’s several scriptures that stands out, but for starters, Ephesian’s 1:3 has really resonated with me:
Ephesians 1 (ESV)
3 Let us give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! FOR IN OUR UNION WITH CHRIST he has blessed us by giving us every spiritual blessing in the heavenly world.
What does that mean?
When we gave our lives to Christ, we became UNITED, ATTACHED and ONE with Christ. Because we’re united with Christ, The Lord AUTOMATICALLY gave us EVERYTHING heaven and CHRIST possesses. W-O-W! We can stop right there and that’ll give you enough to chew on. We literally have EVERYTHING JESUS has, WE have Everything Jesus Is, We Have Direct Connection, Oneness and Access to ALL OF HEAVEN AND It’s HELP! W-O-W!
It’s the mere association and UNITY we have in Christ that GUARANTEE’S US ACCESS TO HIM, HIS POWER, AUTHORITY & HEAVEN’s HELP. We have possession, dominion and power to impact Heaven, Earth AND over our Own individual lives just by association. Just sit with that, I did and it surely changed how I prayed. I remember one evening having a spiritual attack while asleep and began to recite that particular scripture and you know what happened, I felt the presence of God hover over my room. I must have tapped into something. Pray and read over that scripture and let the Lord minister to you.
As I continue to study these scriptures, the number one question in Ephesians 1:3 that rises up in my mind is this one main thing:
What are those spiritual blessings we have access to in the heavenly world?
Some may say, “that’s easy, it’s Salvation, Power In Jesus Name, Adoption, Power, Authority, Forgiveness, etc.” But more than just knowing that answer, I want to live that answer with conviction while executing that Power & Authority DAILY! I’m literally fighting my flesh everyday and sometimes I’m losing and honestly, I’m tired of losing certain battles. I understand we live in a human body and we’ll fall from time to time, BUT, God didn’t say we have to stay stuck with a particular sin, habit or shortcoming. Christ gave us power to overcome, so it’s no longer ok for me to stay at a certain level of struggle…I’m tired and need deeper answers and a revelation that’ll change my life forever.
The real question is:
Why aren’t we walking in the Lord’s Power & Authority especially for those worshiping the Lord in Spirit and in Truth? What are we missing? What needs to happen for us to walk in this Power + Authority.
Continue to join me as the Lord teaches me the key’s to walking in Power + Authority to not only overcome my daily personal struggles, but Power & Authority to Conquer the world.
As always, Be Encouraged, Stay Connected, Fight and Let’s Become Free Together!
