ABOUT THE BOOK
"Authority is the power and right to move and live (in the midst of fear) in such an influential and impactful way according to God’s Spirit working on the inside of you. Operating in authority is operating according to God in you. With authority, you will do more than you could ever imagine, because God is working inside of you."
​
​
In this book, we explore the difference between audacity and authority. Abundant life, the kind of life God intended for us to live, is the result of operating in authority. The things you thought were impossible are absolutely possible if you're living and moving in authority. I challenge you today to tap into God-given authority and experience life without limits!
