- We serve a Great, awesome and powerful God.
- He is Sovereign!
- That means that everything is under His control.
- He rules above all things.
- His purposes are never changed.
- Nothing you face takes Him by surprise.
- His sovereignty means that He not only Has the power and right to rule, but that He does.
- Then Jesus who was 100% God and 100% man, goes and makes this statement in Matthew 28:18-20:
- "I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
- So Jesus has been given all authority from the Father and then He turns and gives it to His followers.
- That's pretty amazing!
- “I tell you the truth, whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven. (Matthew 18:18 NLT)
- In other words, whatever you allow, God allows.
- Whatever challenge you face you face with and through Jesus.
- What have you been allowing that you should not be allowing?
- Is it an attitude?
- Depression?
- Unforgiveness?
- A Habit?
- Fear?
- Anger?
- Anxiety?
- Take control of what you allow to control you.
- You don't have to let the weather, the economy, the government, or a person control your mood!
- Don't let your circumstances dictate what your attitude will be today.
- It's up to you!
- Jesus does not leave you empty handed ...He empowers you by His Spirit.
- Allow Him to have complete control of you.
- Once you let Him have complete control over you, then everything that comes at you must come through Him.
- Everything you face, you face with Him.
- You have Him and He has you.
- Speak with the authority and power He has given you and quit letting the devil intimidate and push you around.
- You have all the weapons of Heaven at your disposal.
- Choose to live above your circumstances, not beneath them.
- You are an overcomer.
- God bless you!
- Have a great Thursday!
