Having Authority As One Under Authority

My mind keeps racing with thoughts of my last post. Since such a great price was paid for my freedom, I am compelled to meditate on the work of the cross at Calvary and what that price cost Jesus, Father God and His Holy Spirit. One concept that has been paramount in my meditations over the months has been AUTHORITY. Jesus paid such a great price so I now have authority as one under His authority. What does that look like for me? How do I insure full utilization and execution of that authority. I heard meekness defined as: Strength under control. As under authority- submission: The position of influence. These are my meditations.
I remember asking my earthy father, when I was just out of high school, "What kind of man am I going to have to marry? One who is a wimp that I walk all over OR one who is so powerful that he bops me on the head when I get out of line?" My earthly father's wise response was: "Honey, you will just have to respect him enough to submit to him." WOW! Not bad from a non-church going/ accepted Jesus at 4 yrs old/ nonbeliever, huh?
Well, food for thought about Authority and Submission. He has given His angels charge over us. How would we know and walk in that knowledge and authority if we don't grip our 5 digits around the hilt of The Sword of Truth daily?

1. Know The Word
2. Live The Word
3. Ponder The Word
4. Speak The Word
5. Pray The Word

Don't get caught unprotected. Put on the full armor of God.
THOUGHT: Being on call at all times, we need to wear the full armor to bed, for while we sleep, in case we are awakened suddenly in the night for battle.

We have authority as one under authority. May we dwell in the shelter of The Most High and take upon ourselves His yoke; to stand firm, hold fast, resist the devil, fight the good fight, run the race to win and endure to the end.
