Titus 3:15 - "These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you."

THE REASON CHRISTIANS DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY THEY SHOULD HAVE IS THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE ABIDING WORD INSIDE OF THEM.

THEY HAVE A WRITTEN WORD; THEY HAVE WHAT THEY HEARD SOMEONE ELSE SAY; THEY EVEN HAVE A LOT OF FAVORITE SCRIPTURES THAT THEY LIKE TO QUOTE. BUT THEY HAVEN'T MADE THOSE SCRIPTURES THEIRS PERSONALLY. THOSE CHRISTIANS ARE STILL ECHOING, JUST REPEATING THE WORD.

Affirmations:

I'M GOING TO WRESTLE WITH THAT WORD AND MEDITATE ON IT UNTIL IT BECOMES A WORD FOR ME!

WHEN I COME OUT OF MEDITATION TIME, I WILL COME OUT WITH A SWORD OF THE SPIRIT!

John 15:7 - "If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you."

Though we know that all victory and authority has already been secured by the death and resurrection of our Savior, Christ Jesus, we still live in a world that is gripped by the prince of this world who seeks to rob the inheritance that Jesus died for. 
When we allow the enemy to promote his false narrative through our agreement with unbelief, doubt, and fear, we effectively give ground for a greater robbery of God's inheritance.

We must stop aligning our words and lifestyles in agreement with the evil one, thereby bringing accusation against our God.

There is one truth that is to be the declaration and proclamation of every Believer. It is that Jesus is faithful and true! God is not a man, so He does not lie, but He is faithful from generation to generation.

"God is not a man, so He does not lie. He is not human, so He does not change His mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through?" - Numbers 23:19 NLT

It is time for the Bride to reread Revelation 4 and remind ourselves who God is. He is holy and true, He is full of power and might, and HE IS WORTHY! He invites us to , "Come up here" in order to see Him as He is. Declare who He is in the midst of the contrast of what you see.

"Rise up, O God, and scatter Your enemies. Let those who hate God run for their lives. Blow them away like smoke. Melt them like wax in a fire. Let the wicked perish in the presence of God. But let the godly rejoice. Let them be glad in God's presence. Let them be filled with joy. Sing praises to God and to His name! Sing loud praises to Him who rides the clouds. His name is the Lord—rejoice in His presence!" - Psalm 68:1-4 NLT

Luke 23:44-46 - "By now it was about midday and a darkness fell over the whole land, which lasted until three in the afternoon; the sun's light failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Then Jesus gave a loud cry and said, 'Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit'; and with these words he died."

When the veil of self cloaks our hearts, our perceptions are stained by the basic selfish orientation of our nature.
But when one dedicates themselves to the Lord, the veil of the self-life, like the veil in the temple, is torn in two. This is not the cutting of some thin cloth but the tearing of the heart, the splitting in two of the tightly woven fabric of self-righteousness and self-consciousness.
It is a violent rending, a putting to death, of the unregenerated self-nature.

2 Corinthians 3:16 - "But whenever a man turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away."
