You Got the Power! Choosing How You Use God-Given Authority

 

You Got the Power! What Are You Going to Do With It?

(Revelation 17:13)

"They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast." – Revelation 17:13 (KSB)

   You have the power. The real question is this: what are you going to do with the power you have? Revelation 17:13 reminds us that power is always being directed somewhere. Power is never neutral, it is either being used intentionally or given away unconsciously.

   Understanding spiritual power begins with recognizing its source and purpose. Scripture reveals profound truth when broken down and applied with wisdom.

Firstly: God Is All Power

   God is not merely powerful God is all power. God embodies omnipotence. This means that any power that exists anywhere comes from God alone. There is only one source of power, and that source is divine.

   If anyone has power, it is because God has given it. There is no separate stream, no alternate supply, and no competing authority. God is the origin, substance, and sustaining force of all power.

Secondly: God Gives You Power

   God has given you authority first over yourself and then over your life. This power enables you to fulfill vision, manifest purpose, and walk in alignment with divine will.

   You have the power to be healthy. You have the power to experience harmonious relationships. You have the power to prosper and to get well. God has not withheld ability, strength, or authority from you.

   This God-given power operates through your thoughts, words, and actions. When aligned with truth, power flows freely and productively.

Thirdly: Who Are You Giving Your Power To?

   Revelation 17:13 reveals that power can be given away. The question becomes: where is your power going? Examine what receives your energy, focus, and authority.

   Is your power being drained by people, places, substances, habits, thoughts, or behaviors that do not serve your highest and best? Anything that diminishes peace, joy, or purpose is a signal that power is being misdirected.

   It is time to take your power back. Reclaim it from limiting beliefs, careless words, and misaligned actions. Power reclaimed is power restored.

Conclusion

   Embrace this truth for abundant living: God is all power, God gives you power, and you are responsible for where that power flows.

   As you realign your thoughts, words, and actions with divine truth, you step into prosperity, peace, and overflowing abundance. Use your power wisely and intentionally.

Reclaiming spiritual power and authority


   You Got the Power! (Revelation 17:13)

   1. God is All Power.
   2. God Gives Us the Power.
   3. Who Are You Giving Your Power To?

đź“– Reflection: Where in your life might you be unintentionally giving your power away instead of using it intentionally?

đź’ˇ Action Step: Identify one thought, habit, or relationship that drains your energy and consciously reclaim your God-given authority today.

  Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God. Why am I having this test, this trial, this tribulation? So God can get the glory. Why am I experiencing this persecution, this headache, this pain? So, God can get the glory. Why am I witnessing this miracle, sign, or wonder? So, God can get the glory. Why am I having this challenge in my local assembly, in my ministry, in my business, and in my organization? So God can get the...

The Sacred Sunday Posture:  Kneeling “ A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees; if you are willing, you can make me clean (Mark 1:40).” In addition to bowing your heads and closing your eyes, many people learn to “get on your knees and pray.” Often, it’s at night before going to sleep. Parents instruct their children to kneel on the side of the bed and say their prayers. Perhaps you have fond memories of kneeling and reciting the Lord’s Prayer or the 23 rd Psalm. Or maybe you were taught, like me, “Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake. I pray the Lord, my soul, to take. God bless mommy, daddy...” Kneeling is a physical way to revere God as your Creator and remember that God is your Source. “Know that it is the Lord, who is God. It is he that has made us and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture (Psalm 100:3).” Without reverencing and ...

Where Is the Love? Learning to Recognize God's Presence Through Galatians 5

  Where Is the Love?    One of my favorite duets is by Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack: "Where Is the Love?" It asks, "Where is the love that you said you would give to me?" It's a timeless question and one that’s just as spiritually relevant today.    In Galatians 5 , Paul writes to the churches in Galatia about the contrast between the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit. He helps believers understand how to discern what’s truly of God. And here's the spiritual compass: love is God's signature . "And envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God."   Galatians 5:21 (KSB)    Whatever you do whether it’s cooking a meal or making a major decision ask yourself: "Where is the love?" Is love your motive? Is love present in your tone, your actions, your intentions?  Paul’s letter urges us to determine whether we are operati...
