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.

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...
