When a lion walks through the jungle, it does not have to go around and tell animals to respect him. The lion does not have to work to be respected, work to be feared, or noticed. The lion is respected and known because he IS a LION. His reputation was set in place long before he came along because of his bloodline, and now he operates entirely in that authority. WE are SONS AND DAUGHTERS of the King of kings. I believe it's time to start operating in the authority that comes with our bloodline. John 14:12 says, "Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in Me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father." We have been called to walk as Jesus did, and even do greater works in His name. Homie was out there walking on water, calming storms, freeing captives, healing people, commanding the dead to live, and the list goes on and on. I don't know about you, but I want to be a daughter of God that has the faith to see the sick healed in His name. I want to be a queen operating in a kingdom mindset. I want to see crutches and wheel chairs abandoned everywhere. I want to watch the spirit of suicide break off young people. I want demons to run in fear when I enter a room because Jesus is pouring His light and love out of me constantly. The coolest part is, WE ARE CALLED TO LIVE IN THE MIRACULOUS! How incredible is it to know that just as God sent his son to the earth as a savior, as a healer, to do the miraculous in His name... He had the same thought in mind when He created US in the womb of our mother? So the real Question is: How do we do this? KNOW WHO YOU ARE, BECAUSE OF WHOSE YOU ARE/// I believe the first step of operating in our authority is knowing who we are. We have been lifted up out of the darkness, restored, and made NEW in His image. God our Father has placed a crown upon our head and calls us by name. He has a place at His table for us ALWAYS no matter what happens, where we have been, how we we fall, how we sin. Nothing matters because God will always call you family, He will ALWAYS claim you as His own. Just like the prodigal son, no matter where we go He will always welcome us back with open arms. Mistakes can't remove our crowns or change our bloodline. We are sons and daughters of the King of kings, and when the enemy comes to tell you differently, it's important that you remind him WHO YOUR DADDY IS! Just as the lion, we do not need to do ANYTHING. We cannot earn God's love, we just need to walk in it. It's important to wake up every day and remind yourself of who you are. Find verses that you can speak over your life on good days and especially the days that you don't feel like a queen. For me, I often speak the word masterpiece over my life, because God calls me His masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10) beautifully, wonderfully made, and one of a kind. He has created me to be exactly as I am, and I take comfort in the revelation that He calls me masterpiece and has hung me up on His wall just to gaze upon my beauty. PRAYER //// If we continue on to John 4:13-14, it says, " And I will do whatever you ask in My name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask Me for anything in My name, and I will do it." It's important that we know With GOD all things are possible. When we ask for things we must ask in His name. He is the King of kings. We are made strong in our weakness through Him, and our authority comes from HIM! Jesus did not come to earth and do things on His own. HE did ALL THINGS though God. Just as He did we should be doing. Make sure to keep your eyes on Jesus as you begin to step out in faith. Believe that what you ask for He will do! When you pray for healing you WILL see it. YOU CAN take authority over demonic spirits in your Father's name. YOU WILL tell a mountain to move and it will because of who your Dad is. Prayer is also important because it keeps you intimate with your Father. When you spend considerable time with someone you begin to know them very well. You know how they think, what they like and don't like. Your relationship with God the Father should be the same way. When you're in constant communication with God, it is easy for you to hear His voice, His direction, His outpouring of love in your life. FORGIVNESS// I personally believe that forgiveness is one of they most powerful things anyone can do in general. I also believe that unforgiveness is sometimes the heaviest chain. To be operating in authority as a child of God we need to continue moving forward, and we cannot do that if we are chained to our past. There are two major areas of forgiveness: forgiving ourselves and forgiving others. Mark 11:24-25 says, "Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you. 25 Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions.…" Prayer is one of they most powerful and crucial parts of our relationship with God, and it's that way on purpose. God longs for an intimate relationship with us as I mentioned above. But in the midst of mentioning how powerful prayer is He brings up forgiveness as an equally as serious matter. Straight-up Elsa style... LET IT GO!!! Your forgiveness may be the key to someone else's freedom, and the more you hold onto something the more you hurt yourself and possibly them. Forgiveness is the hardest, most simple thing anyone can do. It's hard to let go of pain, bitterness, frustration, anger, and a broken heart. But it's simple to say, " Hey Daddy, help me. Help me forgive them, give me eyes to see them the way that You do, help me forgive them so I can heal my heart." But you MUST swallow your pride, you MUST be willing to let go of control, and you need to let God do what He does best. Above all you MUST be willing to forgive yourself. We need to realize that we are FORGIVEN, we are made new, we are no longer chained to our past. To operate in athority we need to be free! And If God has forgiven you, IT IS DONE. That doesn't mean it's done but every Tuesday you get to feel guilty about it, or feel unworthy because of that one time you did that one thing. It truly means it's done and finished. FOREVER! So, three months down the road we can't pick up our chains again and put them back on. You are forgiven, you are made new, now go operate in that authority. RECAP/// I'm ready for the generation of world-changers to take their place, I'm ready for a generation of revival, and children coming home to their Father. It's not easy. The things I listed above are not one-time things, but constant things. We need to constantly be in communication with God. We need to regularly speak over our own lives, and remind ourselves of who we are. And sometimes we need to forgive daily, or take the bold step to ask for or give forgiveness! Be we can do all these things through Christ. Keep your eyes up queens, and remember all diamonds are formed under pressure. Lord, I pray for new sight. I pray that we begin to see ourselves the way that You see us, and I pray for divine understanding of our purpose in Your kingdom and the means and resources to make that happen. I pray that You will bring verses that depict who I am to You. I also pray for new sight when looking at others. Help me see Your children the way You do. Bring me insight to help forgiveness be an easy choice. I pray that You reveal the areas of my life and heart that need to be set free. And above all I thank You Father for sending Your Son to die on the cross so that I can be free, so that I no longer will be a slave to fear. Thank You for pursuing me and growing me so that I can operate as a child of God in your Kingdom. Amen. Love, Your Daughter
