AUTHORITY IN PRAYER<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Authority is legal power or right delegated to you to command or to act.\u00a0 A policeman has authority delegated to him to direct traffic.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t mean he is more powerful than that car or truck he directs to stop.\u00a0 He has the legal power to stop it.\u00a0 Even so, we have been granted the legal spiritual authority from God to stop satan and his demonic forces.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t mean that by ourselves we are more powerful than satan.\u00a0 What it means is that we have been granted God\u2019s power to stop him.\u00a0 God\u2019s power is ours as His children.\u00a0 We have the rights of His Kingdom to rule and reign over the kingdom of darkness.<\/p>\n

In Luke 10:19<\/strong> Jesus told us to behold, look, see, observe, pay attention to the fact that He has given us the authority of His power over all the power of the enemy, all the power that the enemy possesses.\u00a0 Nothing shall harm us.\u00a0 You and I have been given that right.<\/p>\n

The authority we have been given is there for us to use.\u00a0 However, if we either don\u2019t know about it or know about it and don\u2019t use it, it does us no good.\u00a0 Authority is delegated to be used.<\/p>\n

For too long God\u2019s people have been coming in prayer as defeated, weak, trembling little wimps, begging for a little relief.\u00a0 Jesus did not die on the cross for us to be beggars.\u00a0 He gave His life and fought the powers of hell so that we could be free.\u00a0 He gave us His authority to do what we have to do.<\/p>\n

When we come before the Lord in prayer, we are coming as His victorious children, thanking Him for what He has done for us.\u00a0 In that prayer time, if we have to do so, we take our authority and use it against the enemy (who is satan) and his forces.\u00a0 We do not lie down and whimper and let our enemy roll over us like a steam roller.\u00a0 If he is allowed to do so, believe me, he will take full advantage of us.<\/p>\n

In prayer know who you are and Who God is in you.\u00a0 Without Him you can do nothing.\u00a0 With Him you are powerful.\u00a0 Know your power.\u00a0 Know the power of Almighty God is in you.\u00a0 Know the authority God has given you over your enemy.\u00a0 Come boldly.\u00a0 We are told to come boldly before God\u2019s Throne of Grace.\u00a0 Why boldly?\u00a0 Because we are coming as His victorious children to talk over our situation with Him, to get our orders and to carry them out for victory in our personal lives<\/p>\n

One thing we must know is that our enemy will contest our authority.\u00a0 He will contest it \u201cto the max.\u201d\u00a0 He does not give up easily.\u00a0 If he can\u2019t convince us we have no authority, he will try to wear us down so that we are too weak to use our authority.\u00a0 We must stand our ground.\u00a0 Paul tells us in Ephesians 6 that after we have put on God\u2019s armor, we are to stand our ground, withstanding evil.\u00a0 Don\u2019t ever give up.\u00a0 You are the one with the authority, given you by God, to overcome in this world.\u00a0 Don\u2019t you ever forget it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
