This conversation will give you a wide-angle view of God's love and concern for man on earth and will cause you to fall deeply in love with Jesus, for who He is and what He has done.
When you understand authority as the Bible sets it forth, you will rise to a new level of faith. You will rise to an understanding of God's Word that will set you free from the circumstances of life!
The problem with a lot of believers is not that we are not praying. We are praying but many of us are praying desperate prayers.
We are praying, “God help… God please… God do something about my problems.”
If you are smiling a little by now, most likely you know about such and might have done so yourself.
Many believers are living short of life abundantly, as God intended. They want and desire to live in the victory that’s ours but something seems to stand in the way. There’s only one reason – they don’t know how to use their authority.
Do you know this is why many are offended at God, that He's not responding, when they should be functioning in the authority that's been vested on us.
Luke 10:19 AMP “Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you.”
The authority of the believer is an aspect of the Christian walk that few believers know much about.
Some think that authority over the devil belongs to only a few chosen people to whom God has given special power.
It doesn't; it belongs to all the children of God!
When did we receive this spiritual authority?
We receive this authority when we are born again. As we are made new creatures in Christ Jesus, we inherit the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and we can use it against the enemy.
The value of our authority rests on the power that is behind that authority.
God Himself is the power behind our authority!
The devil and his forces are obliged to recognize our authority!
The believer who thoroughly understands that the power of God is backing him can exercise his authority and face the enemy fearlessly.
What is Authority?
Authority is delegated power.
Ephesians 6:10 WUEST “Finally, be constantly strengthened in the Lord and in the active efficacy of the might that is inherent in Him.”
I like the expression ACTIVE EFFICACY OF THE MIGHT THAT IS INHERENT IN HIM!
Just like the might of the constitution and the government backs a Law Enforcement Agent, that’s how we are backed the LORD.
You ought to walk in this consciousness as one in the LORD, functioning in His might.
That means you can step out in front of the devil, circumstance, hold up your hand, and tell it to conform and it sure will. Use your authority!
1 Peter 5:9 GW “So place yourselves under God's authority. Resist the devil, and he will run away from you.”
We need to build these truths into our lives by meditating and feeding upon them until they become a part of our consciousness.
Here is how you can use your spiritual authority in any situation and claim VICTORY once and for all.
1. Use Your Authority to Cast Out Demons.
Mark 16:17 And these attesting signs will accompany those who believe: in My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages.
All believers can cast out devils in His name. Drive demons and any demonic activity out of your home, your body, your life, your neighborhood, buildings, cars and anything else they try to occupy. Never be afraid of them—YOU have the authority. And they know it.
2. Use Your Authority to Drive Out Sickness.
Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.
Do you realize that Jesus did not say, “Go and pray for the sick”? He said, “Go and heal the sick”.
So stop pleading and asking all the time, and start using the authority you have in Christ.
You have been authorized to heal the sick.
You can talk to your body to function in the perfection it was created and it will come into alignment.
3. Use Your Authority for Physical Protection.
Psalms 91:10 MSG "Evil can't get close to you, harm can't get through the door."
Do you know what that means? It means you don’t have to be afraid of anything harming you or your children physically.
In these days of grave insecurity and unrest, you can use your authority to preserve all that belongs to you.
Salvation is a big word. In the Greek language, it literally means deliverance, safety, preservation, material and temporal deliverance from danger, pardon, restoration, healing, wholeness and soundness.
We live in a dangerous world, so taking your authority for protection should be done daily.
As you leave home for your engagements or children go out to school or play, speak protection and enjoy preservation and rest.
4. Use Your Authority to Subdue the Weather.
Mark 4:39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, "Quiet! Be still!" Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.
Jesus is our perfect example on how to handle unfavorable weather.
You speak to it! Don't cry to God, speak to it!!
When you hear in the news forecast of floods coming to your area. You have the authority to reroute the flood. Whether it’s an earthquake or any of such devastating conditions. They may call it acts of God, but you and I know that its the devil that comes to steal, kill and destroy.
You therefore command those to detour from your property. You have authority over the weather. Don’t be afraid of any storm, tornado or earthquake. Rebuke it just as Jesus did.
5. Use Your Authority for Finances.
Colossians 2:15 MSG He stripped all the spiritual tyrants in the universe of their sham authority at the Cross and marched them naked through the streets.
Jesus reduced principalities and powers to nothing—He took away the devil’s power to dominate us in any way—including in the realm of our finances.
Our job is to act on this truth.
So, when you’re facing an attack of the enemy on your finances, take your place of authority. Speak to the financial mountain.
Say, “SATAN, TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF MY MONEY AND OFF MY PROPERTY. Ministering spirits, GO! Cause all that’s mine in the kingdom of God to come into my hands, now!
What I'm attempting to show you in this session is that you have so much authority that you're not even using.
6. Use your authority to demand restoration.
Isaiah 42:22 But this [is] a people robbed and plundered; All of them are snared in holes, And they are hidden in prison houses; They are for prey, and no one delivers; For plunder, and no one says, "Restore!"
One of the things that will happen to you when you begin demanding restoration is that the devil will literally warn his agents to hands off you because you're too expensive to maintain.
Proverbs 6:30-31
30 People do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his hunger when he is starving.
31 Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold, though it costs him all the wealth of his house.
You have the authority to demand a seven fold return on all that was stolen from you.
Satan is the real thief using all those that defraud, cheat or steal from you. Therefore, you can go ahead and demand restoration.
I have several testimonies of seven fold restoration for things that were stolen from us restored to us. Glory to God!
You can demand restoration for missed opportunities because His mercies are new every morning.
7. Use your authority over words.
Isaiah 54:15-17BBE
15 See, they may be moved to war, but not by my authority: all those who come together to make an attack on you, will be broken against you.
16 See, I have made the iron-worker, blowing on the burning coals, and making the instrument of war by his work; and I have made the waster for destruction.
17 No instrument of war which is formed against you will be of any use; and every tongue which says evil against you will be judged false. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness comes from me, says the Lord.
Don’t just stand and watch your life stagnated because of negative words spoken against you whether by day or night. Use your authority to condemn such words spoken against you. Render them null and void.
Speak words of grace and healing to yourself.
Numbers 23:23 MSG “No magic spells can bind Jacob, no incantations can hold back Israel. People will look at Jacob and Israel and say, "What a great thing has God done!"”
Right now, function in your authority and condemn every binding and limiting word that's been spoken against you in Jesus name.
For someone, out of respect for the uncle who spoke those limiting words you kept quiet.
But right now CONDEMN those words.
You're making undeniable progress by the Spirit.
In conclusion, when you learn how to use your spiritual authority in any situation, nothing will be impossible for you!
You’ll be operating in the position of dominion God intended from the beginning.
God did not create you to be a victim—you were made to WIN!
Psalms 91:3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler [And] from the perilous pestilence.
Hallelujah! Give Him glory
You're Loved and celebrated.
