But when you realize that your authority is in Christ, everything changes.
-
You pray with boldness because you know who you are.
-
You resist the enemy without fear because you know whose you are.
-
You serve with confidence because you’re not trying to earn God’s love—you’re operating from it.
This hidden truth helps us fight spiritual battles with clarity and power. The enemy thrives in deception. But once you understand your God-given identity and authority, you become a threat to the darkness.

3. God Is More Interested in Your Surrender Than Your Strength
In our hustle-driven, performance-based world, we tend to think God is pleased with our effort, our discipline, or our public success. We unconsciously believe that spiritual maturity is measured by how much we do for God.
But here’s the hidden truth that turns that thinking upside-down: God is most glorified not in our strength, but in our surrender.
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” — 2 Corinthians 12:9
God doesn’t need your perfection—He desires your availability. He’s not waiting for you to become the best version of yourself before He can use you. He’s waiting for you to lay down what you think qualifies you, and simply say, “Here I am, Lord.”
This truth is counterintuitive. It offends our pride. It quiets our performance. But it also frees us.
Because here’s the reality: brokenness is the breeding ground for spiritual power. When you surrender your weakness, your pain, and your limitations to God, He fills those very places with His strength.
The world says, “Try harder.” Jesus says, “Come to Me.”
The world says, “Fix yourself.” Jesus says, “Follow Me.”
