Additional Verses

📖 Psalm 23:1-6; Romans 8:9-17; Mark 16:15-20

Jesus Christ has granted you His authority to influence the world around you and cause changes in your life. According to the text above, every child of God was given authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. You have also further been given the assurance that nothing shall by any means hurt you. Sickness and all types of diseases and afflictions are tools used by the enemy who is Satan to subject people to all forms of suffering. But all these have no power upon the child of God who truly knows that Jesus Christ has given him or her that authority He used during the time He lived here on earth to subject everything that traumatized human kind. Acts 10:38 says, “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil for God was with Him.” Listen to what the disciples said when they returned from the assignment the Lord Jesus Christ had sent them. Luke 10:17, “And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord even the devil are subject unto us through thy name.” During this year, as a child of God you must also know that there is no need for you to suffer or to lack, because if you are obedient to what the Word of God says to you, and about you, the result is prosperity to His glory in everything you do. The name of Jesus Christ has power and authority to cause changes in your life. Paul, in his letter to the Romans in Chapter 8:11 reminds us of what the Spirit of God in us will do to us. “But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwells in you.” In Mark 16:17-18 Jesus Christ tells us what His name can do to them that believe. “And these signs shall follow them that believe, ln my name they shall cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues. They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.” All this was pointing to a life of overcoming to all those children of God who are obedient to His Word. You must be filled with the Word of God to carry the authority of Jesus Christ’s Name. The Word of God becomes your Spiritual immunity. Nothing can ever disadvantage or discourage you because Jesus Christ has made you more than a conqueror because of the authority He has granted you. Alleluia!

Prayer

Dear LORD Jesus Christ, I thank You for the Authority that You have granted me as Your child. I thank You for the Holy Spirit that strengthens me in the challenges of life. I know that when I am overwhelmed with challenges You are with me until the end. I love You LORD Jesus Christ. Amen.
