God is love. Obedience is a "trust fall" backwards into love. Obedience to the faith is believing in the new identity. It's knowing that Jesus did the work and believing that IT WORKED. God does not fill the "old man" with the spirit. He's made us a new creation, but where He works most powerfully is in the darkness, in our dark places that are revealed when the "old man" tries to convince us of a false identity. Only the enemy uses the voice of the "old man." Your new identity is WHO. YOU. ARE. That's the warfare.

Bad behavior is not a lack of faith. God is not concerned about our behavior, in regards to how much he loves us. We are forgiven. Jesus took care of that... But bad behavior is a result of wrong thinking, which creeps in when our faith is shaken by attacks on our identity, and THAT is deeply concerning to our Lord and Savior. He wants us secure in the knowledge that we are made new by His sacrifice. THAT is our identity. The NEW creation.

Power is the ability or the effectiveness to carry out your authority. Power is learned by walking in your authority. It is learned in intimacy with the One who give it to you freely.

War is about authority. There is an order of authority in the Kingdom of God. Even the Holy Spirit does not speak on His own authority. Even within the Godhead, they submit themselves to each other, each operating in the authority of the others. War is about identity. Your identity in Christ, fully released in freedom and power, is TOXIC to the kingdom of darkness. Your authority is your mission. You are supposed to reign with Him. The foundation of learning to walk in more of your Kingdom authority is learning to walk in your mission in submission to Christ.

Our Good Father gives us His authority. When he allows trial, when we are led into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit, it is ever because he is preparing us for new levels of authority. God is never surprised by our struggles. When we get a handle on this, we can actually get excited when we face new seasons of turmoil. God is with us, and he's getting ready for something BIG.

Almost everyone is familiar with the parable of mustard seed, but often we misunderstand the mountain Jesus is talking about as trials and struggles that seem insurmountable. Those are giants. Our good Father gives us the power to overcome those too, but mountains are something else. They are the things we put in high places that interfere with our intimacy with Him. Strongholds. In Jesus' mighty name, they WILL come down!

Anxiety (not clinical anxiety) is a sign that we're revering something over the love and sovereignty of God. that we're giving power over ourselves to things that are far inferior to our God. We are foreknown and predestined. His goal is to conform us to the image of His Son to the point that we're His brother. He does that by working all things together for our good. ALL. THINGS. Even the hard ones. When we let Anxiety win, we're denying who He is. Our peace comes in the middle of trial when we realize that we really can count it all joy. So... Who do you say he is NOW?
