HEAVENLY AUTHORITY 8-11-24 VIDEO
Since heavenly authority has been put into the hands of believers, what should we do with it? The Father has given us authority. Authority means the right ability and power to do something. We have the same authority that Jesus has. When we share the Word it is His authority because He is the Word. We have the authority to forgive sin, just like Jesus did.
LUKE 10:18 Jesus responded, “I often contemplate the extent of Satan’s demise, having fallen from the heavens like the flash of a shooting star!”
19 See, I have given you authority to trample upon serpents and scorpions and every powerful symbolic disguize of the enemy. Nothing shall by any means nullify your authentic identity! Your likeness is secured in me!
20 But much more important than your excitement about spirits being subject to you [in my name] rejoice in the awareness that your names are engraved in the heavens. It is time for you to re-discover who you are from heavens perspective! MIRROR
Luke 10:18 Jesus said, “I know. I saw Satan fall, a bolt of lightning out of the sky.
19 See what I’ve given you? Safe passage as you walk on snakes and scorpions, and protection from every assault of the Enemy. No one can put a hand on you.
20 All the same, the great triumph is not in your authority over evil, but in God’s authority over you and presence with you. Not what you do for God but what God does for you — that’s the agenda for rejoicing.” MSG
