I've misquoted Jer 17:3-5 should be Jer 19:5 Many have position and yet lack authority. All authority is God given and backed by the word of God himself. With God's authority the believer is able to overcome the world (natural laws) and exist in a supernatural state; this state is governed by different laws i.e. love,joy,peace,patience,kindness,goodness, gentleness,faithfulness and self control.
