Authority and Power, Part 11
Today we wrap up our teaching on God’s authority and power in us.
Ephesians 1:17-23 and Ephesians 3:14-21 tell us about the dunamis, resurrection power we have dwelling in us, the love power of God. Therein is the dwelling place of our authority and power. God’s divine love is the greatest power in the universe. Out of that love pours forth the dunamis, explosive, resurrection power of God. Because of that power, there is authority brought forth. God is Almighty, and He is dwelling in us with all of His might. He gives us His authority and tells us it is ours to use as His children.
We see in 1 John 4:17 that our love (God’s Love in us) is made perfect that we may have boldness in the day of judgment because as He is, so are we in this world. How is He? He is all-powerful. He is Love. He is all power and all authority. There is none higher than He is. There is none above Him. He is in charge. As He is----Love----so are we in this world.
Finally, according to Ephesians 6:10, we are strong in the Lord. We are empowered through our union with Him. We draw our strength from Him, that strength which His boundless might provides.
Through our union with the Lord Jesus Christ we have been given the power of God to exercise His authority over all the earth. Just as God spoke to Adam in Genesis 1, we have been given dominion over the earth. Let’s exercise that authority under the authority of God Almighty and at His direction. It is all about being led of the Spirit of God and not by our own human desires. It is He alone Who knows how to “run things.” Yield to Him and use the authority He has given you.
