Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing can harm you. Luke 10:19
Fear, anxiety, discouragement, and dread are common feelings in the hearts of some Christians when they are shaken by the enemy. The Christian endures complicated situations and lets himself be carried away by the flow without effort, not realizing that he has the power to change everything through the authority he received from Christ. Many have swords and never use them to free the enemy, to change circumstances. They suffer and whine, thinking that there is nothing more to be done. What a pity !
The Bible states inLuke 10:19:“I have given you POWER…”; But what power have we received from God?
The answer is: the one that Christ received and that HE manifested when HE was here below, the one that allowed Him to nail the enemy’s beak by simple proclamations of words of authority and power. Realize that we too have this power, that of Christ from the beginning, from the day we accepted Him as Lord and Savior.
But why do you let the enemy reign in your lives? Why don’t you use this authority to remove the enemy from your lives; to close what is open and open what is closed; to stop what continues and continue what is blocked? Why are you still crying when you have been given the POWER to change everything?
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven Matthew 16:19.
Christians today are so mothered, assisted and spiritually maintained that they can do nothing for themselves. They believe that POWER, AUTHORITY and POWER belong only to the men of God. So at the slightest little problem, they quickly run to see the man of God and rely entirely on Him to find a solution. But NO, why do you continue to act like this, you are also powerful in Jesus Christ? We have all received from God this authority which allows us to crush the head of the serpent whether we are men of God or not.With God, we will do exploits; He will crush our enemies Psalms 108:13.
Just speak a word of faith with authority and you will see things change and align as they should, because you have been given this ability by God to do so in the Mighty NAME of JESUS CHRIST. Do not be afraid anymore, do not fear anything and do not be discouraged, refuse to continue to suffer, get up and proclaim a word, because you can change everything by using your authority in Jesus Christ.
If the enemy still reigns in the church, it is because Christians give him the opportunity to reign. He is under our feet, he is under the feet of our God and he cannot normally harm us provided we use our AUTHORITY in Christ. How can the child who has a POWERFUL Father fear adversity, the enemy? Especially when the Father is the Lord of hosts, the ALMIGHTY God?
The child of God must use his authority in Christ so that serpents, scorpions, wicked spirits, demons, sorcerers, curses, barrenness, blockages, bonds, chains, bad circumstances, powers of darkness, oppressions, principalities, diseases be crushed and have no effect on his life.
…Paul…said to the spirit: I command you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her. And he went out at that very hour Acts 16:18.
Let us use the sword, for it is powerful to separate marrow and joints. The sword is the Mighty name of JESUS CHRIST!
