The Authority of God's Word Pt 2 | Andy Elmes | 30th March 2025

Ps Andy continues the series on Magnify & Multiply, this week with part 2 of "The Authority of God's Word". After summarizing the messages from previous weeks Ps Andy quotes Ecclesiastes 8:4 (AKJV) "Where the word of a king is, there is power". There is final authority in the word of King Jesus! When we speak the words of King Jesus, things begin to shift. We need to walk in the authority that Jesus has given us. Andy mentions three key things here:

• Our belief in who He says He is. Our faith in who He is will determine some of our experiences. Our faith doesn't change Him, it accesses Him!
• Our submission to His lordship in His word - it is possible to believe in him but not submit to him
• Obedience to Him

Ps Andy quotes many examples from scripture where these three ingredients caused great things to happen (the Centurion in Matthew 8:5-13 is not a disciple, but his faith, his submission to the authority of Jesus and the spoken word of Jesus healed the servant)...

Andy explains how often we need to lay aside our own natural experiences, our thinking, our rebellion to the worldly thinking and submit to God. When God speaks something into our situations and it doesn't make sense, let it be. Let it be according to your word, may it be so.

This week, let's hear what God says to us, submit to it, walk in accordance to it and see the power contained within it released into our lives and of others.
