What Are You Filled With?

Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
Luke 8:22‭-‬23 KJV

In verse 23, we see as the storm came the disciples were filled with water. How can they be filled with water? Easy. They allowed their external situation to affect them internally. Many times we can be at a place of peace and solitude inside, but when we get to work we are hit with complaining coworkers, crazy bosses, etc. and the next thing we know how are we behaving? 👀 Just like our situation! Why is that? The Word of God says, "...greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world" (1 John 4:4). The Word is true! Because the Word of God is true we know that we have dominion over every situation through the power of Jesus Christ because of the authority He gives to those who accept Him. When you allow your situation to fill you and have control over you, then you have relinquished your authority. Child of God, heir, joint-heir of Christ, do not abdicate your position of authority to anything today. Walk in authority! Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
Joshua 1:3 KJV
