One of the things the Lord has been speaking to me about, throughout the last several months, is about the need to walk in my God-given authority.
Operating in God-given authority is different for everyone. God gives each one of us a different measure of grace and we are called to operate according to what He gives us.
Some of us are tigers ready to fight spiritual battles in the heavenly realms with regal prayer and some of us are puppies in tea cups disarming heavenly beings with the power of innocence. Most of us are something in between the tiger and the puppy. Maybe more of a house cat?
What I have learned over the years is not to overestimate the tigers among us, not to underestimate the power of puppies and to esteem and value the power of every house cat in our midst.
Whatever you are like, whatever your level of authority is, you and it are fearfully and wonderfully made for this moment. You don’t need to be something more in order to God’s work with your life right now. You are simply called to operate in the depth of authority you have right now. It is enough for this present moment and when you need more, you will have it because God always equips those He calls.

Am definitely a house Cat…and must say the puppy in the cup is just adorable 💕
And what do you see are the strengths you have as the house cat in your world? Thanks the picture comes from Pexels free photos.
I would like to be like an eagle or hawk soaring through the skies and ridding the earth of rats. But I am probably more like a parakeet.
Oh don’t sell yourself short. I believe that we are all in the midst of a test which is going to reveal who we really are in all of our splendor. If you do turn out to be a parakeet then receive the truth that a parakeet’s gifts are needed for right where you are and no hawk or eagle would be able to do what you could right where you are.
Oh, I think it’s okay to be a parakeet. They are smart birds. My father raised them and many learned tricks or to talk. We once had one that when the phone rang he would say hello until it stopped ringing then he would say good-bye. Still, it would be a wonder to soar through the skies.
Yes agreed.
I feel I am all of them, just depends on the timing!
I suppose that is true in the way we act, and yet there is usually one that we espouse more than the others. When everything is stripped away who are we really. I am not sure I know this fully yet, but I am on a journey of self discovery to uncover that true self I was made by God to be.
Well said!
