Ephesians 1:22 (KJV) And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church.
Until Laide truly started believing that she had authority over the devil and darkness, she couldn’t walk in this authority even though she had believed. As she started reading and hearing sermons about the spiritual authority of the believer, faith came to her by the hearing of the word, and she started walking in the authority of Christ. Everything we receive in God’s kingdom is received by faith.
It is obvious that Jesus has been put “far above” the kingdom of Satan and made to be “the head over the church.” If Jesus is far above Satan’s kingdom and Satan is below His feet, then something has to be in between. That something between Jesus and Satan is the church. Jesus has given us authority over Satan except you have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour by faith.
Jesus conquered Satan through the work of the cross and resurrection, and then He gave us the rightful authority to use His name and see the devil run from us. In Mark 16:17 Jesus says, And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues. Thank God for the name of Jesus!
Satan hates that name, and all of heaven loves to hear it repeated. Every time the name of Jesus is used, both hell and heaven remember that day. Hell trembles and heaven rejoices. We have been left here in the earth to stand in the place Jesus stood as Christ’s personal representatives (2 Corinth. 5:20) and see people come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior, Healer, and Provider.
There are many today who are suffering from demonic oppression, afflictions, and plagued with infirmities simply because they don’t know and believe the power that is in the name of Jesus and the authority that has been conferred on them as believers. Mark 16:17-18 makes us understand that ‘These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: they will cast out demons in Jesus’ name, if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed’. Halleluyah!
Go into today asking the Lord to teach you to use your authority and walk in his liberty; bringing many others into this liberty. Jesus has become the head of all things!
Prayer: Father, please help me walk in my authority in Christ. Amen.
