Walking in Authority
By: Pst. JK Woodall
Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
As we step into the final month of this year, we are reminded of the power and authority that God has granted us through Christ Jesus. December is not just a time of reflection but a season to boldly walk in the authority bestowed upon us as believers. Authority is not merely a position; it is an active demonstration of faith, trust, and obedience to God’s Word.
Walking in Authority Means:
Standing Firm in Your Identity
The Word declares, "Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you" (Luke 10:19). This month, embrace who you are in Christ. You are a child of the Most High, an heir of His promises, and a warrior equipped for victory.
Declaring God’s Promises
Walking in authority requires speaking life into your circumstances. The Bible says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue" (Proverbs 18:21). This December, let your words align with God’s truth. Declare peace over your home, health over your body, and abundance over your life.
Taking Ground for the Kingdom
Authority is active. Just as Joshua was commanded to tread wherever the soles of his feet went (Joshua 1:3), so are we called to claim new territory for the Kingdom of God. Whether it is in your workplace, community, or family, this is the season to advance with courage and purpose.
A Time of Reflection and Forward Movement
As 2024 comes to a close, reflect on God’s faithfulness throughout the year. Each trial and triumph has prepared you for what lies ahead. Walking in authority is not just about what we achieve but how we stand as ambassadors of Christ, representing His love and truth to a world in need.
Action Steps for December:
Pray Boldly: Approach the throne of grace with confidence, knowing that your prayers have power (Hebrews 4:16).
Serve Faithfully: Use your gifts to bless others, demonstrating the authority of Christ through acts of love and service.
Live Expectantly: Anticipate God’s hand moving mightily in your life and the lives of those around you.
This December, let us not only prepare to celebrate the birth of our Savior but also step into the new year equipped and ready to walk in greater authority. Together, let us proclaim that Jesus is Lord and advance His Kingdom with unwavering faith.
