The Authority of the Believer
You can outlast the devil
~Kevin Zadai
Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
—Matthew 18:18 (KJV)
DISCUSSION:
The devil doesn’t want believers to understand what Jesus taught about authority. satan doesn’t want evil spirits to allow Christians to mature, so he tells the evil spirits to trip up believers so that they never mature. He wants them to be grasping for truth but never really receive it.
Jesus taught about the Father and His authority, His Dominion, and domain. He taught about submission to authority, and He talked to the Disciples about their faith. We as believers have the authority to say something, and then that’s the way it is. We can say No to things and bind them and loose them. satan doesn’t want to be told what to do, yet he is supposed to be told. Jesus said, “We're to trample on serpents and scorpions,” therefore, we don't take any hindrance lightly from the enemy. We stomp our foot, and we put our authority to use.
When I was in Heaven, I saw that all the angels are told to back up what God has already said, but they need people on the Earth to take a stand and verbalize it and do something physically. That’s why we came to the mountain where the witches sacrifice and do their evil practices because someone must go and take it back for God. We need to do this all over the world. We need to take back territories for God.
Will you take a stand on the earth to proclaim the name of Jesus and back it with action in your city, your village, or community? In what ways can you do this?
SIGNS OF THE BELIEVING ONES
Mark 16:17: And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues.
One of the signs that followed was when Jesus sent the Disciples out to preach the Word, and the devils would leave. He sent out the 70 with authority to cast out devils and heal the sick, and when they came back, they were surprised that the devils listened to them. We shouldn't be surprised when the devil listens to us because the Lord has given us His name and His authority over the devil.
Mark 16:18: They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
• These are signs that the Gospel is being preached. God always confirms His Word with signs and wonders following.
Luke 10:19: Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
• He’s given us all the power He has in His arsenal.
• We have authority over all the enemy, and nothing will hurt you.
There’s nothing he can do to stop us.
• We need to come together corporately and agree on these things.
John 14:12: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
• Here, Jesus is taking off the limitations of what Church people would say and think.
• Jesus is saying, “You’re going to do even greater things.” It takes the lid off any boundaries.
• People have a form of godliness, but they deny the power of it.
They say, “We don’t speak in tongues or cast out devils anymore.
• All the miracles are done with the disciples and the apostles.”
• On the contrary, Jesus says, “No, there is going to come a day where you’re going to do even greater works than these because I go to the Father.”
• He went to the Father and hasn’t come back for the second time yet. Therefore, we know that we’re in this dispensation of the expansion of the Kingdom of God.
