"I have no spiritual authority."
How it sounds in your head: Who am I to think I could command demons or speak with authority? I'm just an old woman.
"And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead."
-- Ephesians 1:19-20Self-deprecation rooted in ageism and gender bias that minimizes elderly women
Society's dismissive attitudes toward elderly women, internalized messages about being unimportant, comparing herself unfavorably to others, and lack of affirmation for her spiritual gifts.
Moses was 80 years old when God sent him to confront Pharaoh and deliver Israel from slavery. His greatest work of authority and deliverance happened after age 80.
I am not 'just' anything—I am a daughter of the King, filled with resurrection power. IT IS WRITTEN that the same power that raised Christ from the dead is at work in me as a believer, and that power does not fade with age. I have authority to command demons, to speak life, to declare breakthrough because I am in Christ. The exceeding greatness of His power is toward me, right now, at this age, in this season. IT IS WRITTEN that I have been given authority over all the power of the enemy, and I walk in that authority with confidence. I am a woman of God carrying resurrection power and divine authority.
Father sees you clothed with Christ's authority and resurrection power, and He is eager to demonstrate through you that His power perfects itself regardless of age, making you a stunning display of His strength.
