Do You Know Your Authority In Christ?

Do you know your authority in Christ? Do you know what powers Jesus has given you to do? Now mind you, this is only for true spirit filled born again Christians. If you are not, none of this will work for you. As a matter of fact, I issue a strong warning to those that are not spirit filled believers, DO NOT try to cast out a demon because it will not go well. If you are everyone has the power to cast out demons in spiritual warfare. There are also many other gifts you may ask for and receive. Not every gift is intended for every person. We are all blessed with different gifts. Let’s look at some scripture.

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences in administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God that worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of the spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.                                           1 Corinthians 12:4-13

Now, we can all call upon Jesus for healing for ourselves. This is prayer, faith and claiming what He did for us on the cross that day. You simply pray for it, thank Him for it and have faith that it is done and will be done, even if it doesn’t happen right away. Praise Him and thank Him until it does. During that prayer claim by the stripes of Jesus I am healed.

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.   Isaiah 53:5

Who his own self bare ours sins in his own body on that tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose striped ye were healed.        1 Peter 2:24

As Christians we have assignments, to use what gifts have been given us and not keep them to ourselves. Just like he told the apostles, whom were given all gifts.

And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirit, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.     Matthew 10:1

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.   Matthew 10:8

Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could we not cast him out? And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have the faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.        Matthew 17:19-20

And to have power to heal sickness and cast out devils:   Mark 3:15

And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.          Mark 6:13

And all these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak in new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink and deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.    Mark 16:17-18

And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command the in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out in the same hour.               Acts 16:18

  Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.          James 5:14-15

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.         Luke 10:19

We are to cast out demons as believers and some are even called to deliverance ministry or to do battle in the second heaven. These must be done with God's approval and backing or someone could get hurt. Every spirit filled believer has authority over all demons. They must obey the children of God. It is the Holy Spirit inside of us that they must be obedient to. This applies to demons attacking our homes, jobs, finances, family or anything else.We can command them out of our homes, our bodies, our children, and our brothers and sisters in Christ. This also applies to asking Father to command the fallen angels to be cast out as well.

We have authority over the curses that the enemy puts on us. Simply command them to be broken and returned to the senders head with blessings in Jesus name. The same for any spells or witchcraft sent our way applies. We also have the authority to loose and bind things, as the Bible says what you loose or bind on earth is also done in heaven. You have authority or dominion over all creatures on earth.

We have authorities in the name of Jesus Christ. What is faith without works? Use the authority and gifts Jesus has given you to do good in this world. You may ask for more gifts and praise Him and thank Him for them until they arrive. Faith is the key.  Please help us keep the work of this ministry going by donating a small gift today. God bless you and may Jesus keep you.
