It seems like the past few weeks God has really been
challenging me on my faith and the authority that He has given me. Am I
really standing in faith believing? Am I really using that authority
against the enemy?
Or am I just “hoping” God will do what He said He would
do? Am I giving the enemy permission to do what he wants because I don’t
stand in authority?
I have seen the Hand of God move lately in ways that amaze
me! And then I ask myself why I am amazed!? Didn’t I ask Him to move?
Didn’t I tell the enemy I was stronger than he?
Matthew 10:1 says, “And Jesus summoned to Him His twelve disciples and gave them power and authority over unclean spirits, to drive them out, and to cure all kinds of disease and all kinds of weakness and infirmity." (Amplified)
Jesus told His disciples, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you” (Matthew 17:20).
Perhaps you don’t feel quite able to move the mountain. Jesus said in Luke 17:6, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you."
I think what God is speaking to me is that it really all comes down to my heart, my attitude, my faith. I know He can … but there’s always that question, “Will He?” That small seed of doubt is planted and then I become “like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind” (James 1:6).
So here’s my challenge…. will you join me in asking and believing God for the impossible?
I don’t even know what that may look like to you; but I’m ready to
stand firm in my faith, face the enemy with the authority God has given
to me, and watch miracles happen!
