Let us act in the authority of God
The greatest power is the almighty power of God. By His almighty power God created the whole universe out of nothing – millions of stars, our Earth… By the almighty power of God Christ was raised from death. And He gives us a share in this power; He gives us His authority – “in My name”. We cannot act in our name, demons would laugh at us. When a policeman in a uniform waves at a driver on the road, everyone has to respect him and stop. If someone else waves, the driver is not bound to respect it and he can go on. The policeman has power – authority. God also gives us authority. And what about us? We sleep at best. Lord, forgive us! But when we will stand before the judgment seat of God and be judged according to the Word of God, God will say: “You could change history, the course of events in your nation, in the world… And what did you do? Why did you not use the power of My name? Why did you not stand in My authority? Why did you not speak the word in authority?” When a general says something, gives a command, the soldiers must obey immediately. A general issues orders to his subordinates through commanders. If the commanders had no connection with the general, what would the army look like in the fight? Some would start fighting, another would go in the opposite direction, others would wait and wait, and the enemies would laugh. When we are to receive the commands from God, we must have a connection with the head office – with God, so that we can transmit His word. So we need the obedience of faith!
