I have the authority Jesus has given me

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us - Hebrews 12:1

Seek the LORD and his strength. - 1 Chronicles 16:11

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever. - Psalm 125:1
