As children of our loving God , our calling is based on the mandate given us by Jesus Christ. This mandate is also prophetic because the Word of God, in which we live and walk by His grace, is prophetic. What did He us Christians, who have believed Him?
"All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.(Matthew 28:18-20)
The Word of God in the Bible, which is spirit and life, remains the final authority in all that He leads us to do. It is the only tested and tried light that shatters every stronghold of darkness. Besides, the scriptures instruct of many other blessed and empowering qualities of the Word, encouraging us to stand strong in Him because:
