Welcome back to Leading and Loving Life with Jesus! Today, we're diving into Day 18 of the empowering devotional series, "100 Days of Believing Bigger" by Marshawn Evans Daniels, shared by McCall Dwyer. Join us as we explore the theme of "Authorized to Impact" and the profound truth of the authority we have been given as followers of Christ.

Day 18 reminds us of the authority that Jesus taught with, a divine authority given to Him by God. As His followers, we have also been granted this same authority to impact the world around us. To effectively wield this authority, we must spend time with God, listen to the Holy Spirit, and live boldly as representatives of Christ's kingdom.

Take a moment to reflect on the authority you have been given as a follower of Christ. Consider how you can use this authority to make a positive impact in your sphere of influence. How does prioritizing God's approval over man's approval shift your perspective and priorities?

As we conclude Day 18 of "100 Days of Believing Bigger," let's remember that our authority comes from God and our primary focus should be on advancing His kingdom. May we boldly step into the calling and purpose God has placed on our lives, knowing that His approval is all we need. Remember, you are here on purpose because you have a purpose, and God has something amazing in store for you.

Thank you for joining us today on Leading and Loving Life with Jesus. Stay tuned for more empowering episodes as we continue to journey together in faith and purpose. God bless!
