Using the Authority of the Lord
It has occurred to me that there are a lot of Christians that do not know how to use the authority that Jesus left with us. I hope this will help some of you to access and use that authority.
Praise God that we as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ that he is our savior, have the authority to combat the devil through what Jesus and Gods word has revealed to us.
In this life when the devil puts thoughts and ideas in our head, when he tries to torment us with those thoughts and ideas, we have the authority left to us by Jesus to come against him in the name and Blood of Jesus.
Some Christians have no Idea that they can plead Jesus’ blood for their protection. I use that authority regularly when I pray for others as well as when I feel like I am under attack from the devil.
When a thought comes to you that is tormenting you… or telling you things that are of no benefit to you, come against it. Rebuke it in the name and blood of Jesus. Tell it, you thought I rebuke you and cast you out in the name and the blood of Jesus… He has given me power and authority over you. Then go on about your business… think on good things on holy things of God. Plead the Blood of Jesus over your head, heart, mind, body and spirit. Over every possession you have. Over your family…
We have the whole armor of God.
Read, meditate and believe Eph 6:10-17. Apply it your lives, it is your life saver.
First of all you do have an enemy, his name is Satan. He is a killer, liar. and deceiver. He simply wants to destroy your life. He really doesn’t want any of us to believe in Jesus. He will use every thing he can to torment you.
The word of God in Eph 6:10-17 lets us know we have the favor of God and the enemy knows that, and he sure doesn’t want you to know it. This word starts out telling us to be strong in the Lord and the power of His might. Not the power of your might.
While we are living in the flesh with a carnal natural mind, this battle we are in is not a physical war, it is spiritual war. You can not win this spiritual war on your own. You need wisdom and heavenly power from God through his word and His Holy Spirit to win this battle. The things below are helpful to know.
1. The helmet of salvation is to protect your soul, your way of thinking, your soul is made up of your mind, will and emotion.
2. The belt of truth of righteousness it is about girding your self with the truth, it is knowing the truth that sets you free.
3.The breastplate is knowing that it will protect your heart. Shod your feet means prepare your feet with the wisdom of God so as you walk Gods Holy Spirit will direct you and be a light on your pathway.
5. The shield of faith, Hebrews 11:6 says… it is impossible to please God without faith. Faith is about knowing, and believing his word. So with faith you will be able to stop the fiery darts of the devil. “The fiery darts are strategies and deceptions that he uses to lead us away from our faith and trust in God.”
6. The sword of the spirit, which is the true word of God that the Holy spirit puts in your heart to help you through every situation.
1st Peter 5:8 says… he is an adversary, a devil seeking whom he may devour. John 10:10 says… he comes for to kill steal kill and destroy. But I like what the second half of John 10:10 says… I am come that you might have life and have it more abundantly.
Stay close to God and have no fear for Heb. 13:5 says… I will never leave you or forsake you.
2nd Tim 1:7 says… for God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
It is important to realize that when we have doubts and fears we only need call on the Lord… “Jesus help me in my weakness. Lord help me learn to use your word to defeat the devour.”
Nothing in your past that causes you mental pain or anguish has any place in your present… to have a great future we need only to remember we have Power and Authority given to us by the Lord to rebuke the torments of the devil.
I hope this will lead you to use your authority to make your life better.
God bless
