Today’s Scripture 

“When Jesus came to Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples this question: “What are the people saying about me, the Son of Man? Who do they believe I am?” They answered, “Some are convinced you are John the Baptizer, others say you are Elijah reincarnated, or Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.” “But you—who do you say that I am?” Jesus asked. Simon Peter spoke up and said, “You are the Anointed One, the Son of the living God!” Jesus replied, “You are favored and privileged Simeon, son of Jonah! For you didn’t discover this on your own, but my Father in heaven has supernaturally revealed it to you. I give you the name Peter, a stone. And this truth of who I am will be the bedrock foundation on which I will build my church—my legislative assembly, and the power of death will not be able to overpower it! I will give you the keys of heaven’s kingdom realm to forbid on earth that which is forbidden in heaven, and to release on earth that which is released in heaven.” He then gave his disciples strict orders not to tell anyone that he was God’s Anointed One.             

Matthew 16:13-20 

Today’s Thought

Jesus has already given you all the power and authority you need to do everything He has promised you can do… He's given you the keys of the kingdom. He's promised you that whatever you declare locked on earth is locked in heaven and whatever you declare unlocked on earth is unlocked in the heavenlies… You can speak the Word and loose the angelic forces of God to work on your behalf.

Today’s Confession

Thank you, God, that I have power and authority from Heaven here on the Earth. As I speak things on the Earth, they will move and respond because of the authority you have given me. I stand in my position with confidence and boldness and know that you have me covered no matter what.
