THE AUTHORITY OF JESUS. Part 3
*SONG*
He touched me, He touched me, and I know that joy that filled my soul.
Something happened and now I know
He touched me and makes me whole
*TEXT*
Corinthians 5:17-18 Anyone who is joined to Christ is a new being; the old is gone, the new has come.
*** When we choose to give our lives to Jesus; He gives us a new life, a life full of power and authority. We share in His death, we share in His burial, we share in His resurrection, so we also share in His victory
He changes our position, making us to sit with Him in Heavenly places.
As born again children of God, we receive this authority! We inherit the Name of Jesus that is above every other name, and now we can use that Name against the enemy!
Ephesians 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
This is to say....
We are seated together not beside Jesus but inside the Christ of God in a higher authority over Satan and all his cohorts. All the satanic forces are subject to us. Hallelujah 🙌
All this is done by God, who through Christ changed us from enemies into His friends and gave us the task of making others His friends also.
Jesus death on the Cross was not just about our eternity – it was also about our freedom here on earth! There are so many believers in the Church today that don’t know their authority and don’t know what they can do, so they stand by, allowing the devil to keep on doing whatever he wants to do in their lives.
That is why there are so many Christians walking around in chains!
It is not the will of Jesus for any of us to walk in bondage! He has purchased for us our authority, and it is our job to put it to work!
1John.5.4 - For every child of God defeats this evil world by trusting Christ
to give the victory. [NLT]
Who is he then that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God and also, in what He has done for us. Hallelujah 🙌
*PRAYER*
Lord, I thank you for having defeated Satan and all his cohorts and given me victory. I exercise my God's given authority and power over all their manipulations and I obtain my victory in the Mighty Name of Jesus. 🙏 🙏 🙏
