Authority

1 Cor. 7:37, “Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power (ἐξουσία exousia, authority) over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart…”

I possess and grow daily in the knowledge that has been kept hidden in ages past, but now revealed, of the will of God through His only Son Jesus. The knowledge of His will imparts and diffuses into my will. In doing so, I also grow in His authority.

Authority or “exousia” in the Greek means, “Denotes “authority” (from the impersonal verb exesti, “it is lawful”). From the meaning of “leave or permission,” or liberty of doing as one pleases, it passed to that of “the ability or strength with which one is endued,” then to that of the “power of authority,” the right to exercise power…”

The authority is in His will in me by grace.
