The Place Of Authority Is The Place Of Peace by Christine Smith

God spoke to me in 2023, saying,” Speak in dominion mode and declare forth from what I have placed in you.”

Joshua 1:9, Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage! Now that wasn’t a suggestion, it was a command. You need to talk to God on His level. Talk out of the authority He gave you.

You can talk with His power, it’s in you. Luke 10:19, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall by any means harm you. This is a promise to God’s children, who trust Him.

Walk in aggressive peace, as if in God’s feet. 1 Peter 5:7-9 is powerful, it declares the blessing of casting your care on the Lord. God cares for us with affection, but He also cares for us watchfully. If we are cautious at all times, we will know when that sneaky lion is roaming, and roaring, and trying to get a chunk of our backside. Just withstand him, it sounds hard, but it isn’t, if you remember that warrior Jesus lives in you.

Walk aggressively with the confidence that God is your shield. Psalms 28:7 says, The Lord is my Strength and my impenetrable Shield; my heart trusts in and leans on Him and I am helped. You can learn to be confident in that as a fact, and resist the fear that tries to come when you hear that lion’s roar.

Take your dominion of all that God gives into your hands, but never try to take dominion where it is not yours. That is a controlling spirit which is witchcraft! You don’t want to go there.

Isaiah 55:8,9, My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than yours and My thoughts than your thoughts.

Does that mean God wants us to stay at our level? Absolutely not, come up to God’s level! He doesn’t want to talk to your head but to your spirit. So speak to Him those things that He has spoken to you. The things He placed
in you as you listened in the secret place. Talk to Him about the words, scriptures, and prophecies that He blessed you with, and ask for greater revelation of them.

Jesus always only spoke what the Father spoke, and the Holy Spirit does the same. And we need to do likewise. Have the eyes of Jesus to see what God is doing, the eyes to hear what God is saying, and the mouth to speak what the Father speaks. That’s where peace will come to meet your day.

Matthew 6:6,7,8, When you pray, go into your most private room, and, closing the door, pray to your Father, who is in secret; and your Father, whois in secret, will reward you in the open. And when you pray, do not heap up phrases, multiplying your words, as the Gentiles do, for they think they will be heard for their much speaking. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

It’s not a bunch of words or even a bunch of the Word spoken, if you have no revelation. It’s the Word with the anointing on it that causes your angels to listen and move for you.

The kingdom of God consists of and is not based on talk but power. You will find that written in 1 Corinthians 4:30. Look it up for yourself, it’ll be good for you. If you’re not operating with the authority and power that are in you, that God gave to you, then you are just a bag of hot air – talk with no action. Don’t let that happen, fill your bag with power and the force of God.

Remember, the place of authority is the place of peace. You want to walk in peace, then walk in your dominion. Talk in dominion mode and walk in peace as a well-balanced scale. This is God’s will for all of His children, to understand that they truly are kings in the kingdom of God. You are anointed to declare, just as a king. So get out there and begin to do what God has anointed you to do.

As an artist, Christine considers herself to be a barefoot, backwoods, country artist. As a writer, she often waxes nostalgic with a Huckleberry Finn style of text. As a minister, her friends call her “preacher woman.” But most important of all, God calls her – His!
