PRAYING WITH AUTHORITY
MARTIN BOARDMAN
“
I n that day you will no longer ask me anything .
Very truly I tell you , my Father will give you whatever you ask in my Name . Until now you have not asked for anything in my Name . Ask and you will receive , and your joy will be complete . - John 16:23-24 ( NIV )
When we see the flashing lights of a police car behind us , we pull over to the side of the road and await the officer approaching the vehicle to ask for our license and registration . We comply because we know that the officer has the authority to do that . The officer cannot do that when they are off duty or when driving their own car . They can only stop us because of the authority of their badge .
