What Are You Oppressed By?
In researching the story of Deborah I came across the following message;
“What are we being oppressed by, that we should be taking authority over? Maybe we aren’t physically at war, but spiritually and emotionally we are waging a war that we feel like we can’t win.”
“Your authority comes from God, the attacks from the enemy are coming from a retreating army that has already lost the war. Your victory has already been won. Trust your God, adjust your mindset, and step into the authority God has given you.”
Doesn’t that just empower you!! Give you hope!! Strengthen your resolve!
The questions that followed were, “What are you oppressed by and what are you at war with?
Those questions might be easy to answer, but the empowerment comes from the statement, “we should be taking authority over it!” WE HAVE AUTHORITY OVER THE ATTACKS OF THE ENEMY! We know how it will end and that God has already claimed the victory!
You are the Daughter of the King! You have been given authority over the enemy and God is waiting for you to take your place. Whatever is oppressing you, He has overcome. Whatever you are at war with, will retreat at the mention of His name.
Trust God! Adjust your mindset and step into the authority that God has given you!
Be Intentional about being a woman who applies her Godly authority
Praises & Prayers
Dear Lord, thank you for the authority that You have given us to conquer our enemy. I pray that we will step out in that authority and release the power that lives within us through Your Holy Spirit. Remind us of Your truth and empower us with Your word. In Jesus’ name, amen.
