Fire Station ~ By Diane Kanode

WORSHIP, AUTHORITY & POWER

Worship, worship, worship…sing praises to our Lord! Worship of the Lord at Fire Station is deep, pure and free. God is constantly surprising us with new songs and gifts to give back to Him. How awesome and mighty is our God! We are so excited to see God constantly bringing new people to join us each time as well as many who return regularly to get “fired up” for God!

We received teaching on Friday from Jason Nissley about our God-given authority, our legal right in Christ to use this authority and our responsibility to ask and call forth the will of God. We are to press into God, agree with the reality of what is true in heaven and understand that our circumstances can rise to those in the heavenlies! To do this, we must renew our minds, change the way we think, remove the lies and allow God to bring revelation and revolution to our hearts and minds.

We need to understand who Jesus is and who we are in Him. We are to proclaim the kingdom of heaven and destroy the works of the devil. God’s desire is for us to continue the works of Jesus through His Spirit, to pray His kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven! We need to listen for the Father’s voice and do the things we see the Father doing, just as Jesus did when He was on earth. We are kings and priests and need to walk in the authority and power of our inheritance through Christ. We are Christ’s ambassadors appointed to declare His will. We are mandated to use Jesus’ authority and power to advance and enforce the Kingdom of God.

We need to break any agreements we have made with Satan with regards to sickness, depression, worry, lies, etc. We need to combat his lies with God’s Word of Truth. We must ask God to change the way we think, help us to walk in the truth and turn away from sin. We must focus on the truth of God versus the natural reality that our eyes see. We need to live from the unseen realm. Faith takes and believes what is our legal right in Christ. Faith is the avenue that brings the realities of heaven to earth.

After receiving this teaching from Jason, Sean led us to take authority in prayer for the areas of our lives where we have given Satan access, authority and/or have agreed with his lies. He declared that Christians were never designed to live under bondage, but should have lives that show forth the evidence of God’s Kingdom at work. All were invited to come up for prayer, as they felt led.

How amazing it is that He, the God and Creator of the universe, loves us so intensely and has given us authority to continue the ministry of His Son on earth.
