You Have Authority
Ξ June 16th, 2010 | → 3 Comments | ∇ Educate for Freedom, Self-improvement:Spiritual, self-improvement: Success |
One of the keys for success in life is having a victor’s attitude. It is so easy to play the victim and blame the circumstances around us when things don’t go well. That takes the responsibility off our shoulders and frees us from taking action.
The problem is it also keeps us in bondage to our current situation and we cannot become what Jesus died for us to be: victorious over every circumstance in life.
If you want to be victorious in life, I want you to know that you are already more than a conqueror, according to Romans 8:37.
You do not have to fight another war, Jesus did it for you!
You might say, “Then why don’t I feel victorious, Bettina?”
It doesn’t have anything to do with your feelings.
Let’s take the following example:
Have you ever been stopped by a policeman? I bet you stopped your car immediately the moment he ushered you to the roadside!
Could the policeman have stopped the car by his own strength? No.
What if he felt bad that day, could he still have stopped your car? Yes.
Why? Because he has been given authority–delegated power–over the traffic.
In the same way Jesus has given you authority over bad circumstances in your life. Just as the policeman does not go running to the president to ask him to stop the car, you should not go running to God with all your problems.
God has already done all He is going to do about the devil. He sent Jesus and Jesus triumphed over him.
You can walk in that victory today and never ever again be a victim in your life!
Oh and remember…
“Behold I give you the authority to trample on…all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you” (Luke 10:19)
G.F.I.
Go For It! Walk in your authority today!

Hello Bettina,
I subscribe to your emails and was reading your blog and i have one question about a comment you made…
“Just as the policeman does not go running to the president to ask him to stop the car, you should not go running to God with all your problems.”
But isn’t that what God wants? I think I understand what you are saying. If you live in victory then when problems come up you know they are defeated. But if you are not in that mindset I would say we should be taking all our problems to God as He states in His Word.
Your thoughts?
Thanks,
Mike

hi Mike,
Yes you are right about going to God with your problems, but on the other hand, He already solved all our problems when sending Jesus to the cross. As we grow up in Christ and learn about the authority which has been given to us, there are many things we can–and should–take care of ourselves, just like older children can take care of themselves while babies cannot.
Hope this helps!
Bettina
