AUTHORITY
Luke 10:18-24
Devotional:- “Behold, I
give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the
power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you” (V. 19) NKJV
Since you are a new
creature in Christ, you have a new authority in God. No one can command respect
and results without authority. Many people sometimes mistake boldface and noise
for authority, but you need to see a person of authority. They don’t even carry
the look. This is because it is not about the look or size; it is in the awareness
and consciousness of who you are. People of authority have great faith.
Look at the example
of the centurion who came to Jesus in Matthew 8:1–10. He said, “Only speak a
word, and my servant will be healed” (Matthew 8:8). When Jesus heard this, He
gave a great comment. This man understands what is called authority. He said, I
said to this servant, go, and he goes. And to another come, and they come.”
This means he does not have to shout or doubt but the servants have to do what
he is saying. Why? He is a man with his authority consciousness.
Look here; it is
time you wake up to know that you have authority. The word of God makes you one
as a believer. Take up your faith therefore and stop being afraid. Stop praying
for 30 minutes to your food in fear and casting out demons before you eat it.
Give thanks and just command. Long times of prayers are good but a lot of our
long prayers are due to ignorance of our authority. A true believer uses a
greater percentage of his prayer time rendering praises to God.
Please understand
that you have authority over all the power of the enemy. Always be conscious of
this. The strength of your authority is the name of Jesus (Philippians 2:5-10),
the word of God (Hebrews 4:12), and the blood of Jesus (Revelation 12:11). Go
about in this consciousness. Whatever I ask to go must go in the name of Jesus.
Whatever I ask to come must come. In the name of Jesus, all kneels must bow to
you (Philippians 2:10). Stop calling the name in fear. You are a person of
authority.
DECLARATION:
AS A PERSON OF AUTHORITY AT MY WORD IN THE NAME OF JESUS ALL KNEES MUST BOW.
“MEN OF
AUTHORITY ARE MEN OF FEW WORDS WITH POWER.”
