Summary: CAN YOU LOSE YOUR GOD-GIVEN AUTHORITY? Once again, beautiful and anointed worship prefaces the broadcast and then the team switches over to a clip of Kim teaching on losing our crown. He teaches about Jonah and Paul and how each faced a storm – Jonah was out of the will of God; Paul was in the will of God. A crown is a symbol of power and when placed on someone’s head, indicates that person is set apart for a special task or calling. Every person has a “crown” for their lives. God has given you a particular task and anointing, which means you have kingly authority and sovereignty in your world. In history, when a king was conquered, the enemy put his foot on his head and took his crown. Kim shares the story of how King David did this. When a crown was removed, it indicated shame and the taking of spoils. Also, we must understand the jurisdiction of our crown and our rule and what geographical authority has been given us. So how do we lose our crown? By touching or trying to destroy what God deems sacred or belonging to Him – especially our anointing or that of someone else. He goes on to teach about what happened when Miriam and Aaron “touched” the anointing of Moses and spoke against him to God – they got leprosy. This is a dynamic message on how we can lose the things we have been empowered with, but if we understand our jurisdiction, measure of rule, and geographical authority, we will keep our crowns and sovereignty over over lives.
