Prayer ain't Good Enuff!

"Prayer is good and necessary but it will NOT take the place of authority. I give you authority over all of the ability of the enemy and I expect you to use it"
........and I understood what it all meant. Jesus gave us authority.. It is up to us to use it..

When the temptation came.. Eve yielded to it and it says.. she gave to the man to eat.. So Adam was standing by whilst all this was going on.. He should have done something! He had the legal right and the dominion/power to act and get rid of that serpent! He should have said.. "It is said by God.. You shall not eat of that tree, now get out of our garden! NOW!" When he failed to do this, the authority given to him, passed to satan who according to 1Cor 2.. says.. became 'the god of this world.' When Jesus was tempted by the devil.. satan said.. "If you will bow down and worship me, I will give you all this, for it was given me".. So who gave it to him? ~ Adam did... Jesus is called.. the second Adam.. This one didn't fail and broke satan's rightful hold over mankind..

So when you pray, do not ask,"Why doesn't God do something!" .. When He created man, He gave him the right, power and legal authority to 'subdue the Earth' This was his commission in Genesis.. Once given, He couldn't take it back. If I give you something, it is yours to do with as you will. It is no longer mine.. Jesus gave us authority.. What we do with it, is up to us..

u r right. God created us in His own image. He also gave us the power & authority to enjoy this world & His other creations, with wisdom & discretion. as i mentioned the other day, what we are is God's gift to us. & what we do with our lives is our gift to God. So it's really our choice, to make or break our lives.
well keep on blogging... u r doing a great job.
