The devil’s influence is very subtle. But as a Believer operating under the covenant of grace, you have the power to take authority over his influence. This power is not obtained through your behavior or by any special privileges that you must earn or qualify for. Today, I want you to know that you are already qualified, you possess the power of God, and you have been given the authority to use it. This is a gift from God that Christ paid the price for you to have. Your God-given authority can handle anything that comes against you this week. All you have to do is exercise it. It’s like working on a muscle at the gym. The more you exercise that muscle the stronger it becomes. So, this week remember that the battle is not against people, but against spirits, and the enemy is after your heart and mind to influence you for evil intent. The victory is already yours. Exercise it!

Prayer

Father, thank You for the abundance of Your Word in my life today. I honor Your Word, and I commit to exercising my God-given authority this week. Thank You in advance for the change I will see in my life. I give You all the glory and all the praise for what You’ve already done. I can walk boldly on the earth knowing that it is You Who makes it all possible. In Your Son Jesus’ name, Amen.
