The shift was not immediate, but gradual, and it aligns with God’s perfect timing. Sometimes, we need to walk in faith during this process, trusting that the shift will come when it’s time.
The gradual shift of power:
There is a time for everything, and a season for activity under the heavens (Ecclesiastes 3:1). Prepare for the shift into Divine Power and authority. Walking in faith is essential during the period of transition. We trust in God’s plan even when the shift is not immediately visible (2 Corinthians 5:7).
Walking in authority and power (Luke 10:19). As you walk in authority, you step into the Divine Power given to you by God. You are empowered to overcome all obstacles and disrupt the enemy’s kingdom.
Step into your royal position for such a time as this, as a leader and carrier of Divine wisdom. It is your moment to step into your role and influence the world around you (Esther 4:14). The importance of faith, authority, and readiness for the Divine shift, while also acknowledging the need for spiritual preparation to fully embrace the power that God has prepared for you.
Battle now shifts:
God sovereignly shifts authority, power, and leadership throughout history and in the lives of HIS people.
In (1 Samuel 2:6-8) – “The Lord brings death and makes alive; he brings down to the grave and raises up. The Lord sends poverty and wealth; he humbles and he exalts.” This passage speaks to the power shifts that God allows in individuals’ lives, showing that HE is the ONE who can shift our circumstances—whether in wealth, status, or position—in HIS timing.
The ultimate shift of power happens in the fulfillment of God’s Kingdom:
Jesus’ statement after HIS resurrection reveals the shift in power from the enemy to Christ. All authority in heaven and earth is now under Christ’s dominion, shifting the authority over the world, to HIM.
