Authority in Jesus - Home Group Bible Study Series #4
Posted: Sunday, February 14, 2010
by Marijo Phelps
A really short devotional type piece.
When your mind is going FIVE (or more) directions at once – take authority over your mind in Jesus name and command your mind to come into submission to Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
Take authority over the things in your life which are defeating you.
Prayer: Father I want to glorify You. I need your help. AMEN
Authority in Jesus comes in various ways:
1. F asting – deny your flesh and Christ comes forward
2. Word of God" is a feast – stand on the Word – claim those promises – let His Word change you
3. Prayer – don’t just ask, get a notebook and listen to Him – write it down
4. Praise
5. Thankfulness
. 6. Service – being available to be obedient
. 7. Giving
Romans 5:3-5 3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. (NKJV)

Good work. And happy Valentines to You to. Belated!Thank you Reshma for reading and your comments. Glad you "stopped by".
The one thing I strongly agree with in this article is when you say "Take authority over the things in your life which are defeating you."In order to beat these things we must operate at a higher level than the source of problem.Thanks Tim - and the authority is because of what Jesus has done for us at the cross in defeating satan.
great advice!Thanks Aaron and welcome to Searchwarp!
Love your insight and understanding of the simplicity and importance of all your points! Prayer, gratefulness and service are my favorites. I love your heart!Thanks Star - I appreciate the encouragement and getting to know you better through your writing too - waiting for more!I just submitted one that I wrote yesterday. It is called "The Message" Hope you like it. The only problem (and I say that tongue in cheek!) with SearchWarp is that we become friends with people all over the world and rarely have a chance to meet. I would love to give you a hug! I think we are going to be great friends. Later Sister!
