Are you frustrated because your gifts and callings aren’t being fully utilized? Do you want to move in a stronger anointing and power to impact the kingdom? Do you feel called to influence culture, the government, or the marketplace?
If you are ready to grow in impact and influence, then you must begin with understanding God’s kingdom authority.
Today’s prevailing culture is one that balks at authority. As a result, many Christians today have little to no understanding of kingdom authority and miss out on one of the most important tools God uses to develop your character, gifts, and anointing.
While God is the ultimate authority, He uses the authorities He has placed in your life to shape and release you into the next phase of your destiny.
Due to misguided teaching, cultural influence, and past wounds, many in the church today operate out of an expectation that they are accountable to God’s authority alone.
While they may honor and follow leaders in positions of authority…
…as soon as the leader’s actions or decisions conflict with the destiny they have in their hearts, they will take back that authority and move on.
Unfortunately, this frequently short-changes the process God had in mind, and many Christians find themselves in a cycle of repeating the same scenario in a new location with new circumstances.
Why is that?
All of us experience a time-lag between our calling and commissioning. It is in this in-between period that God uses authority in your life to shape, train, and qualify you to operate in your own anointing and spiritual authority.
