Scripture - Luke 9 When Jesus called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons, and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
Observation - Jesus sent them is a tremendous statement to me. He gave us all the power and authority that we need to get the job done. Too many are walking below our anointing level and think that we don't have the power to get through. Jesus gave the twelve that He called together power over the devil, over disease, over sickness and to preach the kingdom of God to all the world. It is when they came together than He gave them the power to overcome. When we are drawn to Christ we receive the power to overcome all that would oppose us and try to take us down.
Application - I think sometimes it is easy to think, as I am facing certain challenges, that I am not equipped for what I face. The truth is that as we were called together we have all that we need to make it through and to win every battle. Christ has given us authority. Christ has given us power. Sometimes I think that we forget that we have power that will drive out the demons, the sickness, the disease, and will preach to the nations. Christ gave us what we need to win.
Prayer - God help me to remember the power that you gave through Christ. Help me to remember that I don't have to take it from any devil anywhere. There is dominion because I am in you and you are in me. Thanks for keeping me and strengthening me and giving me what I need.
