Because of your willingness to surrender to My indwelling presence, I will teach you about authority. I have empowered you by My very Spirit dwelling within you. We are married under My covenant. I have given you My name.  I am establishing you and preserving you from My enemies. Anything you ask in My name I will give you.  This is to the Father’s Glory. All authority  has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. I am in the Father, and I am in you, and you are in Me. Now that you understand that you are in Me, ask, ask, ask, and you will receive so that your joy may be made full, for this joy of Me, is your strength. ~Jesus

Luke 19:17 And he said to them ‘well done good slave, because you have beeb faithful in a very little thing, you are to be in authority over 10 cities.’ 

John 16:24 Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.

Psalm 92:4 For You, O Lord, have made me glad by what You have done, I will sing for joy at the works of Your hands.

Lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Me and I will direct your paths. Listen only to My voice. You will recognize My voice because of My love. I am kind and gentle and forgiving. I won’t condemn or belittle you. The voices of strangers seek to destroy you. I am teaching you not to listen to the strange voices you hear. I don’t want you to seek strength from deceitful authority, whose purposes are only to further their own agendas and plans.  You know what love is because I showed you when I laid down My life for you. I am calling you to look to My love for you and to stop looking to imperfect people. As you come to know My love, I ask you to forgive those who have disappointed you and have misled you. They aren’t even aware sometimes of what they are doing, because they have been hurt as well. I call you to let go of your bitterness and resentment and to love those who hurt you and to do good to those who persecute you. As you do, you will know the perfect love that casts out fear and you will no longer fear, because you are being made perfect in Me.

1 John 4:1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

1 John 4 16-19 God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. This is how love is made complete among us so that we have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because he first loved us.

Romans 8:37 Nay, in all things, we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.

Hebrews 3:12,13 Take heed, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

Isaiah 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee; be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with right hand of My righteousness.

I am not obligated to you apart from My promises to you. So often you are disappointed because you feel that you have given more than you have received. I am not interested in the things you can do for Me. I am drawn to weakness and humility. I say ‘blessed are the poor in spirit’. There is a great idolatry-of service to Me, in My church. For it is by grace that you have been saved, through faith. It is not by works –so that no one may boast. I am eager to fill empty vessels, who by faith are waiting for their redemption. It is not by might nor by power but by My Spirit. So that you can say “I no longer live, but the life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” ~God

Matthew 5:3 The poor in spirit are blessed, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.

Romans 6:14 For sin will not rule over you, because you are not under law but under grace.

2 Cor 13:4 In fact, He was crucified in weakness, but He lives by God’s power. For we also are weak in Him, yet toward you we will live with Him by God’s power.
