SUMMARY

And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying: “All power, jurisdiction and authority has been granted to Me in Heaven and on earth.”

MEDITATION

Although few people seem to ever discuss this, in Christ you now have been given authority and power in the here and now. In Genesis, man was created to rule over the entire earth. When Jesus came to earth, He restored the authority that Adam chose to give up in exchange for sin. Likewise, when you choose the LORD over your sinful and rebellious ways, you will be exercising your dominion and authority that you have in Him. Today, remove every obstacle and be found walking in great power and authority!
