Take Authority

“Take authority” came through to me loudly and clearly during prayer this morning.

The full word is as follows:


“Take authority

We are not victims
We are priests and kings
Stand tall
While taking cover under the blood of Jesus
And resting under the shadow of His wings”


May we all meditate on these scriptures to take us deeper. And find other verses, that broaden our understanding of this word.

Luke 9:1-6; Luke 10:17-20

Psalm 10Daniel 11 (esp. v 35)

1 Peter 2:9

Ephesians 6:1-20 

Ephesians 2 (esp. v13)

Psalm 91

About the author

Andrea Van Boven (Madden): I like to think I am a radical lover of Jesus, but I live in a house and pay bills and look like I fit in with respectable society, like most people. What goes on in my head and heart are hopefully the things that betray the look of "normal" that comes at first glance. I hope those things inside of me seep out to actions as well as words of hope and encouragement. I pray that these in turn will lead others to know the loving Creator who knows us so intimately that he has a number for every hair on every head.
