Your Authority in the Lord

​Our kingdom, just like God's, is in the spiritual realm.  And when we take up our authority in heavenly places, we can move mountains, we can walk on water, we can call down the powers of heaven and change most any situation.

Ok, so on the home page, there is a notice of my next message about keeping America great.  I will get to that, but last night I had a dream that I felt very important to share with my readers.  
Yesterday, I made the bold move to start blogging again.  Last night I had a dream that was just horrible to me. Somehow, I knew it was from the Lord. I was too tired to talk to God about it so I went back to sleep. But I want to tell you about this dream.
I haven't had a dream about a tornado in many years. So, the dream opened up with me entering my mother's home on a bright sunny day. I walked through the front door and called out for my mom and my dad. Nobody answered. I looked back over my left shoulder, out of the front window and all of a sudden there was a tornado grinding up the very short driveway. I momentarily froze wondering where in this house could I get for safety. I ducked into a small area that had 3 doors. The door in the middle led to the bathroom. The two doors on either side of the bathroom door led to bedrooms. The tornado was approaching the southwest corner of the house and I could tell debris from the home was beginning to be cast around from the winds. I didn't squat down. Instead, I just kind of looked back again over my left shoulder and not out of fear, but in full authority of the Lord, said, "I rebuke you in the name of Jesus." And I just stood there. After a few seconds, the winds died down and the tornado disappeared. 
Now, this next part, I'm not sure of the relevance of it. Right after the tornado disappeared, I saw my grandma. She was on her back on the floor, covered by some debris. She wasn't hurt. I helped my grandma get back on her feet and made sure she was okay. The dream ended.
When I woke up, I told my husband about the dream. He said, "that's not a horrible dream at all." Many times when the Lord has given me dreams, he has given my husband the interpretation of the dream. Jason continued. "I believe the Lord is telling you, that you have rightly assumed your authority in the Lord again by starting your blog. And I believe the dream also shows us that the enemy can come out of nowhere, sneak up on us from behind with full intention, attempt to carry out his plans of destruction; John 10:10."
Listen to me, give me your full attention. If you belong to Jesus, you have authority to stop ANY storm, no matter how close it gets to you. 

 Listen to me! 
"If you belong to Jesus, you have authority to stop ANY storm,
​no matter how close it gets to you."

Now, you may be saying, but that was all just in a dream. That stuff isn't real. Yes, it is. It is so very real. All attacks are spiritual and often shows up as negative circumstances we have to deal with in the natural. We must first learn to deal with attacks in the spiritual realm, where your seat of authority actually is. Have you put two and two together yet to see that your kingdom is spiritual? God is a spirit, so His kingdom is in spiritual places. That's why folks here on earth can't see, touch, or destroy that kingdom. They can't kill God because he is a spirit. My friend, you and I are spirits, we just live in a body. Our kingdom, just like God's, is in the spiritual realm.  And when we take up our authority in heavenly places, we can move mountains, we can walk on water, we can call down the powers of heaven and change most any situation. The only situation I'm aware of that we can't change is another person's will. Our authority, no matter how heavenly, stops at the point where another person's will begins. In those situations, all you can do is continue praying that God's will is done in your life and others involved.
My husband and I route approaching storms away from our home all the time. You can watch the radar, you'll see the storm cells splitting as they approach our area. Our neighbors always say, did you see how those storms just go around us. They don't have the foggiest idea of how to make that happen. One of our neighbors really believes in prayer, so she prays in a simple basic heart of faith kind of way with us when storms approach.  
In closing, I want you to think about this. If spiritual warfare was not real, God would not have given us Ephesians 6:10 through verses 18. Everything God gives us in His word has purpose, and it is never there just to fill up a page. 
If you would like more information about spiritual warfare, please let me know. When you learn to take up your authority, your life will be so much better and your prayers for others can help them.
