If we understand and embrace the greatest of any authority which is Our Heavenly Father, we can and should walk in great authority. Also, when I appeal to FATHER concerning my situation, HE will respond in HIS authority and I must stand on that authority if I am to expect HIS perfect long-lasting results.
Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 12:
32 “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom. 33 Sell what you have and give alms; provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
We really need to believe that it is FATHER’S good pleasure to give us The Kingdom for it is HIS to give. In the past, we have been emotionally beaten down to believe we are unworthy to inherit HIS Kingdom. However, our worthiness comes from the Blood of Jesus Christ thus the case is closed concerning our claim on The Kingdom. We have the full right of inheritance!
FATHER’S Holiness reflects HIS ownership of all creation. Our true callings are to display HIS Glory on earth according to the giftings placed individually in us! If you don’t truly know HIM as FATHER, you need to for this is the essence of a Son or a Daughter.
Once we have the revelation of relationship, then we need to pursue the revelation of the authority based on that relationship. We also need to pursue the fullness of honoring HIS Holiness with the reverence HE deserves.
Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 5:
43 “Your ancestors have also been taught ‘Love your neighbors and hate the one who hates you.’ 44 However, I say to you, love your enemy, bless the one who curses you, do something wonderful for the one who hates you, and respond to the very ones who persecute you by praying for them. 45 For that will reveal your identity as children of your heavenly Father. He is kind to all by bringing the sunrise to warm and rainfall to refresh whether a person does what is good or evil. 46 What reward do you deserve if you only love the loveable? Don’t even the tax collectors do that? 47 How are you any different from others if you limit your kindness only to your friends? Don’t even the ungodly do that? 48 Since you are children of a perfect Father in Heaven, you are to be perfect like HIM.” TPT
NLT 48 But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.

48 You, therefore, must be perfect [growing into complete maturity of godliness in mind and character, having reached the proper height of virtue and integrity], as your heavenly Father is perfect.
NKJV 48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
No matter what translation you use, we are called to be perfect and mature just as FATHER is perfect. Jesus spoke this so let us not water it down with our mindsets. Renew your mind to this Absolute Truth and reality and you will begin to see power and authority operate in your life.
Peter spoke by The Holy Spirit in the 2nd epistle, chapter 1:
3 Everything we could ever need for life and complete devotion to God has already been deposited in us by HIS Divine power. For all this was lavished upon us through the rich experience of knowing HIM WHO has called us by name and invited us to come to HIM through a glorious manifestation of his goodness. 4 As a result of this, HE has given you magnificent promises that are beyond all price, so that through the power of these tremendous promises you can experience partnership with the Divine Nature, by which you have escaped the corrupt desires that are of the world.
We are in partnership with FATHER if we will only accept HIS authority to walk in such partnership. How can we ever expect to be in full unity without this commitment to HIM? How can we expect to walk in complete Agape Love without moving into full maturity? HIS power is waiting on us, not the opposite.
Yes, you can be perfect IN HIM and no longer allow your past or your mindset to convince you otherwise. Now is the time to be fully renewed.
