Authority and Miracles

These are the two words that keep whirling around in my head after an amazing worship night at our church last night.

First, let me start by explaining how yesterday was. I did ask all of you to pray and  as I explain just keep reading and you will see how God used you. I started the morning barely being able to move or breathe. It actually felt like I was having some kind of ms flare up. I felt horrible...I mean worse than I have felt since before I was back on the benzo drug. It was laughable, really, ridiculous. Of course, it was the day of ETS (Engage the Spirit) our worship night at our church at which I was going to sing for the first time in a year. I don't know why I was surprised to wake up in that state given what God was planning to do last night, but I was. It was a really hard day.

Got to rehearsal and the whole time, my body just kept getting worse and worse. I was literally holding my breathe to sing and by the time we were done, I was in melt down mode, just out of complete frustration. I was seriously having a conversation with God saying, " I am getting on that stage God. You told me to do this, so I guess if I pass out it will be all your fault and you can take the blame!" I know, I'm surprised He didn't strike me down right there! Lol! I was frustrated because I was wanting God to make it easy. I should have been taking authority over the enemy and not acting like a teenage girl that's arguing with her dad, real mature, right.  I pulled Chad aside and asked him to pray for me before the service started.

The first part of the night we had a pastor within our network who operates in a prophetic gifting. He is so meek and humble and highly anointed and brought a powerful, timely word regarding the midnight hour. How do we make it through our dark times etc. To much to really say here, anyway, I sat on the front row and literally cried the entire time! So, when he was wrapping it up I went in the back to get myself together and get ready to get on the stage.

We got on the stage and the first song out of the gate was one I was co-leading with one of our other leaders and the anointing fell right then and for the rest of the night I sat on that stool and sang with such power and authority like I have never felt before in my life while singing! God came through for me...SURPRISE! I don't know why I ever doubted it. It was a powerful night.

So back to those words, authority and power. I am started to really study the Word regarding the authority that we carry and that God has given us. I haven't even begun to scratch the surface.

Romans 13:1, " Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God."


I believe that the new authority on my life is due to first, the grace and love of God and secondly, the fact that I have chosen to intentionally submit myself to Him as my ultimate governing authority. I am so honored to operate in this authority and pray that God continues to allow me to. I can't wait to see how God uses everything that we have been going through and am glad that He is still using me despite my weakness.


He has never left me or forsaken me. Last night was a miracle and I am living today knowing that there is more authority and miracles to come!
