Authority

I bought a book at Borders, mainly because it was a Christian novel, the back sounded interesting, and it was only $1. I started reading it last night at around 11:30pm, and it started getting kinda dark, talking about demonic powers attacking people. I stopped reading, because I can handle that during the day, but when I'm alone at night, I have a tendency to be freaked out pretty easily. So I stopped, but as I lie there alone in the dark, I was starting to hear things in the house. Normal creaks were magnified, and I swore I heard things that I knew weren't there. As I lied there, I decided to pray. As I started to pray, I remember the authority I have. I don't have to be afraid. If there was anything in my house, I could cast it out. So I declared out loud in my room, that in the name of Jesus Christ, I banished anything that was not of God from my room, my house, and my property. At that moment, all the things I swore I heard stopped. There was no fear in my heart. I was completely full of peace. I turned on some worship music and fell asleep listening to How He Loves Us.

I often forget how powerful we are as Christians. I really don't have to be afraid anymore. Nothing can touch me while I have God with me. We really do have an amazing God.
