Spiritual Authority

"And ye are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power"-(Colossians 2:10).

Brethren, we are stronger than the enemy because we are complete in the one who heads over principalities and powers of darkness! Since we are complete in the "head", we have authority in the name of Jesus over them. 1 John 4: 4 declares, "ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world"! Walk before the Lord and be perfect, for without holiness, no man shall see Him. TAKE AUTHORITY!

Remaining Strong in FAITH.

The scriptures tell us that "the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us"(John 1:14). Jesus declared, "heaven and earth shall pass away, but not one jot of the word of GOD shall pass away"(Mathew 24:35). KEEP UP THE FAITH. THE WORD OF GOD YOU ARE BELIEVING AND STANDING ON WILL MANIFEST IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN!

The Word was made flesh!

A Command To Be Strong.

"Have I not commanded you? BE STRONG AND OF GOOD COURAGE; DO NOT BE AFRAID, DO NOT LOSE COURAGE; FOR I THE LORD YOUR GOD AM WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO!"


The devil is a bully. I woke up this morning with darts of electronic mind abuse and a sense of apprehension. As the enemy was trying to instill fear into me, the Holy Spirit helped me get into the Word of God- Joshua Chapter 1. These words stood strong and greater in me than the fear darts! I took authority over the enemy and his mind abuse tactics, returning the darts back to sender(Proverbs 22:26-"whoso rolls a stone, it shall role back upon him"). Of course the apprehension disappeared!

The Holy Scriptures tell us that for the true child of God, " greater is HE that is in him/her than the spirits of the enemy that are in the world"!-1 John 4:4. Colossians 1 verse 13 declares that God has already delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son. We are no longer under the devil's power, hence he resorts to intimidation and abusing the mind, will and emotions of the christian with the single purpose of deceiving the child of God. Remember that in Revelation 12:9 Satan or the great dragon, the devil, is referred to as he who deceives the whole world!

We are commanded to be strong! So dear true child of God, take strength in the Lord using the scriptures. Take authority over the devil- he is a liar and sends his abuse of the christian mind against the soul aiming to cause you believe what's he's telling you is true: a that's- who- or- how- you- are- mentality. HE IS A LIAR, THERE IS NO TRUTH IN HIM, HE CAN NOT TELL ANY TRUTH BECAUSE TELLING LIES IS CONSISTENT WITH HIS CHARACTER(John 8:44). Pastor David Wilkerson(now in glory) once taught us at Times Square Church(Manhattan, New York) about this strategy of Satan.

BE STRONG IN THE LORD AND IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT! Put on the whole armor of God as commanded in Ephesians 6:12-18. MAINTAIN YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. RESIST THE DEVIL AT ALL TIMES UNTIL AND AFTER HE FLEES. Pastor Wilkerson added,"the devil is afraid of you!" He is afraid of the praying christian".

TAKE AUTHORITY!!!

Resist The Devil! -Part I

James 1:7 and 1 Peter 5:9 both instruct us to resist the devil whose only purpose is to steal, kill and destroy(John 10:10)! We must not forget to use our spiritual weapons and authority against the enemy and his works(Luke 10:17-19; 2nd Corinthians 10:3). It is only through constantly taking authority, and resisting him that he will finally flee! Then you would have learned how to work in dominion over him.

We resist him with the word of God,our own words, the blood of Jesus, the name of Jesus, prayers, and  living in righteousness and holines.

1. Jesus used the word of God to resist the devil in Mathew 4:1-11.Remember the popular "it is written"!
2. The Bible says that life and death are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21).In Mark 11: 12 -14,19-23; Jesus spoke to the fig tree and it died! This is the same authority we have, and must use against the enemy, his cohorts or agents, and their works in the name of Jesus. In Mathew 8:23-27, Jesus rebuked the winds and the storms, and there was a great calm! In 1 Samuel 17:43-47, David spoke back to Goliath! He did not keep queit! Wrestlers in WWF for instance, boast of how they'll destroy their opponents. Child of God, DON'T KEEP QUEIT! Speak the word of God to the devil, to situations, needs, even in family situations like strife, contention or disharmony between you and your spouse or children, etc. Take authority!You cannot afford to keep mute when the enemy is assailing your mind(or even in the physical) with words and images of failure and defeat, otherwise he will cause you to faint and be defeated already in your mind! YOU MUST SPEAK WHAT YOU WANT IN A GIVEN SITUATION, NOT WHAT "THEY", YOUR ENEMIES, WANT! AND GOD WILL BACK UP YOUR OWN WORDS OF FAITH AND CONFIDENT TRUST IN HIM AND HIS WORD OF PROMISE. This you must do until victory is won! Until you have the victory, not the devil and his agents. And maintain your "NO" to the devilat all time! Brother Norvel Hayes said, "the greatest word you can say to the devil is NO!" Jesus Christ, the one with all power in hevan and earth, is LORD!

Break My Heart For What Breaks Yours Lord!

"Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus", Paul wrote to Timothy."This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of themselves... without natural affection...But evil men and seduction shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived".II Timothy Chapters 2 and 3. Beloved of God, let's keep to righteousness by His grace. The Lord will surely come back and we must be ready! What with same sex marriages, gay partnerships, and gay adoption of naturally born children! Every time I see this in our society, I "slap" my head in anguish! This is our freedom! But is the sign of the end! HOLD FAST YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS!
