You Need To Understand Your Source Of Authority

Hello everyone,

In The Authority Series, as I call it I’ve been breaking down the truth of how we have an authority which surpasses any other and has been given to us by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. I also explained how we need to know that we are above any and every barrier that stands in our way. Today, I would explain the reason why we need to know the source of our authority.

Now, in understanding the authority that we possess is to know and understand the authority Jesus possesses. We are the manifestation of His victory right here on earth. In as much as we have all greatest authority of all time at our disposal, the truth is that in exercising that authority, we do not need to fight the physical fight in showing people or things who the boss is, why? It kind of contradicts what I’ve been saying right? Wrong! Those who you want to show who is boss already know who the boss is or who is in charge, the real issue is here is do you know you are in charge? This is what we need to understand.

Jesus fought all the battles on our behalf and has been declared the permanent winner, the victor, the champion, so He has given us this victory. The Bible says in Ephesians 6:12, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” The spirit realm already know who is in charge, you could see that when Jesus was here on earth, every demon in all the demon possessed person He encountered recognised who Jesus was even without Him saying anything! Not to talk more who He is now of which we now possess this same power and authority.

The question is, do you know who you are? This is what the devil doesn’t want you to discover which is what Ephesians 6:12 is talking about. You must know that even the devil dare not cross his boundaries, he recognises those who have the knowledge of who they really are through the spirit realm. In the spirit realm, every spirit sees every born again as Jesus Christ, and why is that? It is so because, every born again person now possess the same spirit of Jesus, but even with this, the devil can also recognise those who know this. The battle is really in standing your ground on who you are, you could see this when Jesus was tempted, He was carried away because He knew who He was and what the scriptures say, which was what He used in countering the devil. Remember, the word of God is the sword of the spirit.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
