THE AUTHORITY OF JESUS. Part 4.
SONG
He reigns, He reigns, He is standing by my side to bring His word to pass.
He reigns, He reigns, Our God is an awesome God.
TEXT:
Job.22.28 - Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
The Power of Declaration
Knowing your authority in Christ allows you to stand firm against the enemy, and it will also radically change the way you pray.
This is what happens when we understand our authority. Instead of praying for something that God has already promised us in His Word, we actually pray a declaration of whatever we need as already ours!
We don’t pray for victory; we pray from a place of Victory.
Christ is that place of victory
For example, if you desire peace, you won’t feebly say, “Oh Lord, life is just so hard, and I need peace.” No, you know that peace is something that the Lord has accomplished for you, so you pray thanking Him for it, and straight away, you claim it!
You command fear and anxiety to leave you.
When you make a decree over your life, you demand your rights as a son or daughter of the Most High God.
NOTE: We do not demand of God for our rights; we demand of the devil what is ours because God has promised it to us, and we have the authority to claim it!
Our battles with the enemy should always be with the consciousness that we know who we are, that we have authority over him through Christ and that the he is a defeated foe –Hallelujah 🙌.
PRAYER
Oh Lord my God; by the power and authority in your name l command every closed door to my blessing to burst open for me in Jesus name.
