When I was a little child, I watched my mother exercise with Jack LaLanne. He was a fitness expert on television who taught many women to exercise, in their homes, while their little children watched and wondered what was happening. Luke 10:19 says, "I have given you authority..." The word authority in Greek is 'exousia'. Exousia sounds similar to the word 'exercise' because the word authority is linked to the word 'exercise'. The Lord gives you the power and authority of exousia, but it's only good if you exercise it. There is no difference between someone who has authority and doesn't use it and someone who has no authority. So start using your exousia; start moving in it, walking in it, and living in your authority. Take authority over sin, over that bad habit, over the enemy's works and schemes. Stand up and exercise the authority God gave you. If you hold back, you'll live a Clark Kent life. But if you exercise your exousia, then you'll live a super life in Messiah. So exercise your exousia, and you'll see the power of God become real in your life!
