TIME TO USE YOUR AUTHORITY

TIME TO USE YOUR AUTHORITY

And the Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Tell the children of Irael to go forward. But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it…”
Exodus 14: 15-16

The problem with the body of Christ today is not that we are not praying. We are praying. But many of us are praying desperate prayers. We are praying, “God, help…God, please…God, do something about my problem!”
God does not want you to pray pleading prayers all the time. He wants you to use the authority He has given you to pray powerful prayers, to boldly command and to “stretch out your hand” and see miracles happen.
When Moses stood before the Red Sea with Pharaoh’s army in hot pursuit, the Bible tells us that he cried out to God. But God told him, “Why do you cry to me?”
There is a time for you to use your authority. God told Moses, “Tell the Children of Irael to go forward. But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it”
The rod you have today is the Name of the Lord Jesus. As you command in the Name of the Lord Jesus, your “sea” will open and you will go on dry ground through the midst of your problem.
Do you realize that Jesus did not say, “Go and pray for the sick”? He said “Go and heal the sick”. (Mathew 10: 8) So stop pleading and asking all the time, and start using the authority you have in Christ.
The Lord Jesus told the Church, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore…” (Mathew 28: 18-19)
God wants you to go and use the authority that He has given you. And as you go, miracle will flow! Shalom.
