Authority vs. Control
Control is rooted in fear; authority is rooted in identity and obedience.
Jesus operated in authority through submission to the Father (John 5:19).
Power to Overcome
We’re not powerless against sin, fear, or attack (Ephesians 6:10–18).
The Word, Spirit, and prayer give strength to stand firm.
Activation for Purpose
Authority is not for status, but for service.
Flow comes when we go in His name (Matthew 28:18–20).
