Jesus Authority To Empower Us To Do Great Things

Matt 8:28-29
28When he arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way. 29"What do you want with us, Son of God?" they shouted. "Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?"


Imagine, here are demons that are in a person and Jesus comes by. They are scared out of their wits that He is there. We have a all powerful God who is ruler over all. Even the demons know that their time will come. They are afraid, and that same authority is given to us.

We have the authority under Christ Jesus to cast out demons, to heal to people, to forgive sins, and to transform lives. The demons will shiver and the mountains will move through the very presence of God's power through us. It is so hard to grasp this concept, but it is easy to perceive when we look through Jesus eyes.

Lord God, the ruler of the heavens and the earth. The God of this universe. You are all powerful. You are incredible. You are majesty. You have given men Your authority to do your will, through your Holy Spirit. You have empowered us, and we are responsible in using your authority to share your gospel to transform and save lives. Let me do this. I pray that your Spirit be present, and do a mighty work. I give you all the glory in all these things in Jesus name.
Amen.
