Allot of times we may not understand change. The things I know in life is Jesus is Lord, He hears our prayers, He dwells with us and demonstrates  His manifest presence to us. Secondly, we are changing into the image and likeness the one we love.  If to God we become God like, if to sin, the sin we love. No limits to the authority we have in Christ as long as it is lawful authority. God is faithful in all things.
