The Foundation of Our Authority

The Kingdom of God is not merely a future realityβ€”it is present and active now. Christ has given His Church the authority to advance this Kingdom on earth. We are not powerless observers waiting for heaven; we are authorized representatives walking in the spiritual power of our King.

This collection of prayers and devotionals explores what it means to claim and exercise that authority:

  • Our position in Christ β€” seated with Him in heavenly places, far above all earthly powers
  • Our delegated power β€” the authority He has specifically given to His Body, the Church
  • Our calling β€” to advance Kingdom truth and see God's will accomplished on earth
  • Our confidence β€” rooted in Scripture and the living presence of the Holy Spirit
"Jesus said to them, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations... And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.'"

Matthew 28:18-20

  • What spiritual practices would deepen your understanding and application of this authority?
