Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 2:
15 Then Jesus made a public spectacle of all the powers and principalities of darkness, stripping away from them every weapon and all their spiritual authority and power to accuse us. And by the power of the cross, Jesus led them around as prisoners in a procession of triumph. He was not their prisoner; they were his!
The power of the enemy has been stripped away, this includes every weapon and spiritual authority. We must not allow ourselves to be deceived by some alternative doctrine that takes us away from Truth and the power of the cross.
16 So why would you allow anyone to judge you because of what you eat or drink, or insist that you keep the feasts, observe new moon celebrations, or the Sabbath? 17 All of these were but a prophetic shadow and the evidence of what would be fulfilled, for the body is now Christ!
18 Don’t let anyone disqualify you from your prize! Don’t let their pretended sincerity fool you as they deliberately lead you into their initiation of angel worship. For they take pleasure in pretending to be experts of something they know nothing about. Their reasoning is meaningless and comes only from their own opinions.
19 They refuse to take hold of the True Source. But we receive directly from Him, and His Life supplies vitality into every part of his body through the joining ligaments connecting us all as one. He is the Divine Head Who guides his body and causes it to grow by the supernatural power of God.
The only complete Source of Truth is The Word of GOD. The world is full of opinions, some being quite convincing. A “Dr.” or a “PhD” attached to your name does not make you the Source of Truth. Being a celebrity or a millionaire does not qualify you to have an opinion above The Word’s Truth and revelation. The Holy Spirit is the Purveyor of Truth Who has been given to us from FATHER.
Jesus spoke in John chapter 16:
12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
13 However, when He, the Spirit of Truth, has come, He will guide you into all Truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.
15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.
Praying in The Holy Spirit changes outcomes in the future. If you don’t pray, don’t expect things to change. We are to apply the victory of Christ and make it effective in our lives. We are His personal representatives, Christ’s ambassadors.
Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 16:
19 I will give you the keys (authority) of Heaven’s Kingdom realm to forbid on earth that which is forbidden in Heaven, and to release on earth that which is released in Heaven.”
You and I have the authority to make the earth conform to Heaven’s realm… to bring forth Heaven to earth.
Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Luke chapter 1:
35 And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One Who is to be born will be called the Son of God.
36 Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren.
37 For with God nothing will be impossible.”
38 Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
Even when things look bleak, we are to pray and know that with GOD, all things are possible, and HE will change the outcomes according to HIS Will. Are you trusting in men’s opinions or FATHER’S Will?
