POWER AND AUTHORITY

POWER AND AUTHORITY




WHERE do you get your power
Where do you get your FAITH
Where do you
Get the GRACE
TO RISE AND FACE ANOTHER DAY


Only by
THE AUTHORITY AND POWER
Of God
For ALL power and authority
RESTS with him


“Yours-O Lord-
IS the greatness and power
And the glory
And the majesty
And the splendor


For EVERYTHING in heaven and earth
Is yours


Yours-O Lord
Is the kingdom
You are exalted
As head over ALL” 1 Chronicles 29:11


And even
The great power of the GOSPEL
Comes from God


WRITTEN by the HOLY SPIRIT
THROUGH Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, and others


“But so
That you may KNOW
That the SON OF MAN
Has authority on earth
To forgive sins........'


Then he said to the paralytic
'GET UP take your mat
And go home'


And the man
Got up and went home


When the crowd
Saw this
They were filled
With awe


And they praised God
Who had given
SUCH AUTHORITY to men” Matthew 9:6-8


And keep in mind
That this SAME authority and power
Was PASSED on to
HIS disciples and apostles


And trickles down to us
His apostles and disciples today
FOR THE JOB
Is NOT yet done


Then Jesus came to them
And said:


'ALL AUTHORITY in heaven
And on earth
Has been given to me'


THEREFORE
Go and make disciples of ALL NATIONS


Baptizing them
In the name of the FATHER
And of the SON
And of the HOLY SPIRIT


And teaching them
To OBEY everything I commanded you


And SURELY
I AM WITH YOU
To the VERY END of the age” Matthew 28:18-20


To ALL my friends
Gentile and Jew alike


I INVITE YOU ALL
To work
In BRINGING people to God


MAY the POWER AND AUTHORITY
OF GOD
BE with you


LOVE YOU ALL
