Use Your Authority

“Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you.” —Luke 10:19

God created the heavens and the earth for you and me. He created the plants, the fish, the animals, and the birds, and He made them all for you and me. After He created the plants and the animals, after He separated the night from the day and the waters from the land, He put mankind on the planet. And He said to the man and woman, “Name everything. I’ve given you the authority to have dominion and reign over My creation.”

This is not only literal but is also a type and shadow of the nature of the authority and victory that we have been called to in the spiritual realm. Because of sin, man’s relationship with God was broken and his authority was lost. But through Jesus, that relationship has been restored. And in that restoration, we’re brought back into the place of authority that God established for us at the beginning.

God has given us victory over all the power of the enemy through our relationship with Him in Messiah Jesus. We need to continue to develop a triumphant mindset. Paul the Hebrew apostle said in Ephesians 2:6 that we have been “raised up with Him, and seated. . .with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” So be bold and take authority in the spirit over the darkness of fear, worry, and hate. Break accusation off your life. God has given you mastery over the enemy. We are born of God’s very life and light. The Spirit we have received is uncreated and everlasting. The light within us shines in the darkness, and the darkness cannot extinguish or overcome it. Let’s take authority.
