The Believer’s Authority

One of the tools the devil uses against the body of Christ is to capitalize on the believer’s ignorance but the question is; Are believers truly ignorant?

The word of God says in Hosea 4:6 “My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge…” Why should we be destroyed, because we lack knowledge when it can be sought for?

In every season of the believer’s life, the right knowledge is needed. It’s about time we understand the authority we have and use it to our advantage.

Jesus Christ said, “Behold, I give unto you power” That power given is meant for use and not to be kept.

Why should you wake up from a dream frightened, when there’s an authority you have in Christ as a believer?

Why is our attitude to positive dreams so calm, but when it’s a negative dream, you can wake up suddenly and pray for hours, just to terminate it, why can’t we pray those positive ones into reality also?

The first authority we have is our identity in Christ. The life of Christ has been given to us to become the sons of God, who have been transformed into the kingdom of His marvelous life. Jesus Christ said on the cross, “It is finished.”

The word of the enemy over our life is finished, the grip of sin over our life is finished, the power of sickness over our life has come to an end, whatsoever that is not of God in our life came to an end when He said, it is finished.

These are the things the devil doesn’t want you to know. The day you know the truth, there’s a freedom that comes with it, and then the application of this truth is peace, dominion, and breakthrough.

Another authority we have is in His word. Hebrews  4:12 says: “The word of God is quick and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword…” It’s deeper than we can ever imagine, the Bible says, the words I speak, are Spirit and Life. This word will only be life for us when we know the life-giver Himself.

The efficacy of the word is activated by God. The word is beyond mere words, you must read it till it becomes the life that awakens your spirit man.

These words established the world, and that’s the authority we are talking about, even the dry bones in the valley received life by the word.

Irrespective of the bad reports that look like the end, the word of God can give life back to it.

Believers, it’s time for us to arise and take our stand. Enough of giving the devil an upper hand over our lives, it’s time to take charge and authority.

Begin to speak those same words into your life now believing it’s done.

Shalom.
