🎧 Day 84 – Authority Over Identity

Series: Spiritual Authority in Christ

Podcast: Daily Prayer with Natanael Costea

Episode Focus

Day 84 addresses identity as the foundation of spiritual authority. Believers do not operate from striving or performance, but from who they are in Christ. When identity is unclear, authority becomes inconsistent; when identity is established, authority becomes stable.
