đź’Ś Purposed Women Weekly Devotional: Walk in Your Authority!

Published 14 days ago • 1 min read

Theme: Walk in Your Authority

Scripture: “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”

Luke 10:19 NKJV

Reflection

You can possess authority and still live as though you are powerless.

In Luke 10:19, Jesus doesn't tell His disciples to find authority, earn it, or prove themselves worthy of it. He says, “I give you the authority.”

It was already theirs because of the One who gave it to them.

The same is true for us. Sometimes the veil isn't that God hasn't equipped us...it's that we haven't fully recognized what He's already given us.

Fear can make you forget your authority.

Insecurity can make you question it.

Opposition can make you afraid to use it.

And circumstances can convince you that the enemy has more power than he actually does.

But Jesus reminds us that the authority belongs to Him, and He has given His people authority over the power of the enemy.

That doesn't mean we will never experience difficulty, spiritual opposition, or moments that challenge our faith. It means we don't have to approach those moments believing we are helpless.

Purposed Woman, you don't have to shrink back from what God has called you to confront.

Pray with authority.

Speak God's Word with authority.

Reject what contradicts His truth.

Obey with authority.

Walk boldly in your assignment.

The veil is lifting. It's time to stop seeing yourself only through the lens of your limitations and begin seeing yourself through the authority Jesus has given you.

You are not fighting for authority. In Christ, you are learning to walk in the authority you've already been given. đź’•

Prayer

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the authority You have given me through Jesus Christ.

Remove every veil of fear, insecurity, and doubt that keeps me from recognizing who I am in You.

Teach me to pray boldly, obey courageously, stand firmly on Your Word, and walk confidently in every assignment You have entrusted to me.

Help me not only know the authority You have given me, but live like I believe it.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Application​

Ask yourself:

“Where have I been responding from fear when God has called me to respond from faith and authority?”

Identify one area where you've been shrinking back. This week, intentionally pray God's Word over that situation and choose one action that reflects faith instead of fear.

Remember:

You cannot consistently walk in authority you don't recognize you have.

Let God remove the veil from how you see yourself...and then walk like you believe what Jesus said. ✨
