In the Power Moves Study Guide, Sarah Jakes Roberts shares what the Bible says about how followers of Jesus can reclaim and redefine their God-given power. God's original intention for humankind was for them to subdue the earth and have dominion over it. He instructed Adam and Eve to "rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground" (Genesis 1:28). But the first humans allowed the enemy to talk them into giving up this authority and ended up undermining their mission in the world. We have been living with the repercussions ever since.
But this is not the way it was supposed to beand this is not the way it has to be. We do not have to buy into the enemy's lie that we are powerless. We can reclaim the power that God intends for us to have. We can allow His strength to move in us, through us, and work for us so that we can stand against the schemes of the enemy and make a positive impact for God in this world. As Paul wrote, we can "put on the full armor of God" so we can "stand against the devils schemes" (Ephesians 6:10).
The Bible states that God created us to be a force in this world. We no longer have to accept that we have no power to change our situation. We can rediscover God's power and allow it to move in us.
