      Cultivating Authority - Jessica Onsaga

      1.png

      This series is dedicated to the sons of God who will say YES to Yahweh no matter the cost. May these books help you grow in sonship and maturity in your walk with Christ.

      FOREWORD

      A heart surrendered in unwavering devotion to Jesus wields power beyond measure. As we delve deeper into the art of romancing the King through our steadfast focus, a realm of authority beyond the ordinary unfolds—a realm where devotion becomes a channel for profound empowerment.

      From this posture of heart, our union with Jesus becomes the central experience from which we live. This is the way into a life of experiencing Christ within. Here we become secure in His love, able to trust and rest, and over time, anything other than His truth begins to seem illogical.

      This is the life Jessica has chosen and through her deepening intimacy with Jesus, has received revelation and wisdom from the heart of God that has healed and transformed her life. As the scripture tells us in Ephesians 4:23-24, she has been changed by every unfolding revelation and has been transformed as she has embraced the glorious Christ within as her new life, and now lives in union with Him.

      Jessica has chosen the better way; the life of devotion, of full dependency on Jesus, and has tasted the freedom and authority that becomes ours as we trust Him with everything and live life according to the ways of His heart. Her courage and vulnerability, opening her life with Jesus to us through the pages of this profound book, has provided real hope for each one of us. ‘Cultivating Authority’ will show you what’s possible and will provide you with keys to know how! Read slowly, with the eyes of your heart on the King. You were born for this hour; to live a deep life of authentic, uninterrupted intimacy where God’s heart is open to you and entrusted to you, and where you become an overflowing vessel of His beauty, power and glory!

      Now you are ready, my bride, to come with me as we climb the highest peaks together. Come with me through the archway of trust. Song of Songs 4:8 TPT

      TESTIMONIALS

      I am thrilled to have read this book series! I grew up in church, but when life happened, and I found myself in a major struggle, tormented in my mind by the enemy... my church didn’t know how to help me. They were going through the motions of religion but didn’t know how to connect to Abba. I went searching for the powerful God I’d read about, hoping for help, but it took almost 2 decades before I found a church that taught me some useful tools. But I was still struggling with that one big issue. Like Moses and the Israelites wandering in circles in the wilderness, I was tired of going around the same mountain again and again.

      One year ago, my big struggle showed up again, and it happened right as I was reading this series. I was so relieved to read about the tools Jessica so clearly laid out in the books! They were exactly what I needed! She has a way of putting everything so simply, broken down into bite-sized pieces that can be easily applied right away. It’s all about Jesus and relationship with Him, but even that simple statement can feel difficult when the enemy is in an all-out attack. I found the tools easy to understand and utilize, and I began to see progress like never before! It’s not an instant fix, but Jessica has a beautiful way of encouraging us about the process. After a long rough season, this past year has been one of the best in my life! I’m seeing victories in my big struggle, and freedom is finally in sight! I am so incredibly grateful for Jessica’s teachings in my life, and I know that many others will be blessed through this series.

      --Jessi Osborne

      INTRODUCTION

      This is the fourth and final book of The Sonship Series. While there are an infinite number of things we could discuss, this is the final piece that was on my heart to write for this series. My hope was to lay the groundwork for people to be able to launch into a deeper relationship with Yahweh, Jesus, and Holy Spirit. From that relationship, we have everything we could ever need or possibly want to know! So if you have a connection to Jesus, you have everything you need!

      In the previous books, we explored the beliefs and perspectives of sonship as well as soul healing and health. Up till now, this series has focused inward on our own processes and relationship with Jesus. Our past, fears, soul blocks, and wounds all throttle the good things that God has in store for us. Once we have addressed our past, we can access our inheritance. As we renew our mind, we can walk in authority and power while we take back the earth (and other realms) for Jesus! There is an infinite frontier for the sons of God. It’s a wonderful adventure where we get to love and be loved by Yahweh throughout the realms, ages, and dimensions!

      It is important that we cultivate our own momentum and sustainability as we explore our authority. Revivals and movements can be great and launch people forward. (It was a revival in my youth group that woke me up and completely changed my life!) BUT too often, believers only ride the waves of movements. They never learn how to cultivate their own authority and their own walk with Yahweh. In this book, I hope to give you the understanding and foundation needed to be able to create and maintain your own momentum in Christ SO THAT you can stand firm and walk in the unique expression of God on the earth that you already are! I believe there are intense times ahead, but I also believe that the sons of God who don’t harden their hearts will be like radiant lights in the midst of the darkness. I want to help prepare the sons of God for hard times because these truly are the most exciting times to be alive. We CAN walk in abundant life and even joy in the midst of suffering and difficulty, and I am convinced that we will see the greatest outpouring of the Spirit of God that the world has ever seen.

      To be honest, I was hesitant to write this last book because many believers idolize moving in power and miracles. I want to be very clear that JESUS is THE prize. The gospel is the good news of our redemption and reconciliation into the family of God! The power and miracles come as a byproduct of our relationship with Yahweh, but believers often short-change themselves by making an idol of miracles, power, and what they can get from God. The power, glory, and miracles are nothing compared to Yahweh Himself. I want to say that again...the power, glory, and miracles are NOTHING compared to Yahweh Himself. I hope this series has helped you fall in love with Yahweh for HIM. And I hope this final book helps strengthen your relationship with Him as we explore some of the mysteries of God’s authority and power.

      Chapter One - FIRST, WE RECEIVE

      I recently went on a trip to Moravian Falls. It had been a childhood desire of mine to visit that spiritual place, and I was so excited that the time had finally come! I had been told stories of incredible encounters, and I was expectant and eager for a similar experience. My friend and I arrived at the falls and excitedly got settled into our cabin. The atmosphere was spiritually charged with angels, but for some reason, it fell short of my expectations, and I found myself disappointed. I brushed off the disappointment and focused on my excitement for the next day’s trip to Prayer Mountain. Early the next morning, we arrived at Prayer Mountain, hopeful and excited to see what Jesus had for us. After exploring the mountain and finding the perfect spot, I sat down to engage with Yahweh. Again, after all the hype, I found myself disappointed on Prayer Mountain. I brought my disappointment to Yahweh. First, His peace and goodness comforted my heart, then He dropped the revelation bomb, The times when you have been seeking a power encounter from a person or event have been letdowns to you in recent years because you already have the very thing within you that you are seeking. It’s better for you to not have a visitation...because then you will continue to look to a place or others to be refreshed. Yahweh paused for effect, then continued, All of the prophetic words you have received recently and every angelic visitation has fallen short because external encounters don’t come close to the internal reality and glory you already have. It is better for me to NOT give you a visitation because then I would be feeding the desire to look outward instead of inward. And in a moment, all my disappointment regarding the trip vanished. My heart shifted immediately, and I enjoyed the rest of our stay in contentment and peace because what I already carried within me was WAY more powerful than any encounter I could have, even at Moravian Falls.

      Jesus told me years ago, You don’t need a visitation because you have a habitation of my Presence. It stuck with me like glue, but my desire to visit Moravian Falls predated that revelation. That childhood desire had not been sifted by my current revelation and maturity. I knew to some level that visitations fell short of what I already carried, but what Yahweh said took me one layer deeper. It was a deeper revealing of not looking out but looking within. I don’t need to visit spiritually charged places...I AM a spiritually charged place. I don’t need to look for portals... I AM a portal.

      As I marinated in what Yahweh had just told me, Jesus began explaining the importance of having every area of my heart surrendered to (in agreement with) Truth. He further showed me that there was NOTHING I could DO to get there. My healing and breakthrough were a gift that I could simply RECEIVE. The revelation came to me in poem form...

      Finished

      I ascend the Heavens to meet with Yahweh

      There I find I’m already with Him

      So I bring my past to lay before Him

      He tells me He’s already forgotten it

      Then I bring my soul pain for Him to heal

      And I see that He’s already healed it

      What else is there?

      What more needs to be done?

      He prepares the table before me

      He fills my cup to overflowing

      He restores my soul

      It truly
