Spiritual Authority: Authority is a topic that often times has a negative connotation due to incorrect ideologies and examples we see in our world today. Despite what we see today, as believers we are called to be under authority and in authority as modeled by Jesus during His ministry on the earth. It is our responsibility as citizens of God’s Kingdom to understand how to rightly relate to all authority in our lives.
Identity: In our world today, the subject of identity often times defined as whatever someone feels like or whatever a person does. Fortunately this is not the case, every created being has a purpose and a God given identity. We will be discussing where our identity comes from in the worldly sense and in the Christian sphere. We believe that once you gain the revelation of your true identity, that you will be a weapon for the Kingdom of God to execute the King’s decrees.
