God's Sovereignity
Devotions:
Some Christians claim that God is in absolute control over everything on the earth. If that were true then there would not be a rebel wrecking havoc over the world. They would say that God allowed it but God gave the authority to His man, Adam, and Adam turned it over to Satan. God's original plan was that mankind be the co-ruler with Him over the universe. Satan knew that so he deceived Eve and Adam into turning the authority of the universe over to him. Jesus came and as a man defeated Satan by paying the price for man's sin and thus taking the authority back, Matthew 28 Jessu said that all authority was given unto Him. We humans are still suppose to reign in conjunction with our Heavenly Father.. We are the enforcers of our Father's authority in the spirit realm. God does not take authority over human spirits and neither can we but we can take authority over evil spirits trying to influence people against us and the furtherance of the Kingdom of God. God operates through His word and as we believe His word and speak it out we are operating in God's sovereignty. We expand God's authority on the earth by speaking His word and believing His word. When we live outside of His word we live outside of His dominion and enter into the domain of the enemy. God is not looking for perfection but for hearts that are clinging to Him in strength and in weakness.
