youtube kenneth hagin believer's authority

The armor and the weapons are at your disposal. James 4:7 says, YOU resist the devil, and he will flee from YOU. He has provided the armor, but it is your responsibility as a believer to put on that armor and stand against the devil. YOU take the whole armor of God that YOU may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all, YOU stand.” God has given you the power and the authority to stand against Satan and his destructive works.

YOU put on the whole armor of God that YOU will be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. YOU is the understood subject of these verses. But not once does he say that God will put the armor on you or that God will fight the devil for you. In the sixth chapter of Ephesians, the Apostle Paul describes the armor that we as believers are to wear in combat against Satan. Ephesians 4:27 says, Neither give place to the devil. One of the most vital areas of the believer’s authority is his power to successfully stand against Satan. #3 – WE HAVE AUTHORITY TO STAND AGAINST SATAN He will bring the healing, but you and I as believers must lay hands on the sick by faith, believing that God will perform His Word. God does not preach He has given us the authority to do the preaching. God will confirm His Word, but first it has to be put forth. Verse 20 says, They went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. The believer is the one with the power and authority to do these things. THEY shall cast out devils THEY shall speak with new tongues THEY shall lay hands on the sick, etc. The signs will follow the believers who act in faith and boldly speak in Jesus’ name. If you can’t go, then you can send someone in your place.Īnd these signs shall follow them that believe….I want you to notice who is to do all these things: them that believe. Every born-again believer has the authority and responsibility to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ in this earth. Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. #2 – WE HAVE AUTHORITY TO PREACH THE GOSPEL He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved but he that believeth not shall be damned.Īnd these signs shall follow them that believe In my name shall they cast out devils they shall speak with new tongues They shall take up serpents and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. It was at that time that He delegated the authority to carry out that work. His words to them form the basic foundation for the work of the New Testament church. Jesus appeared to His disciples after His resurrection from the dead. His words are just as vital and real today as when they were first spoken. Jesus’ words in the 16th chapter of Mark were not intended for the early church alone.

It is not enough for us to simply accept Jesus’ work at Calvary. After securing that power and authority, He freely gave it over into the hands of those who would believe on Him–you and me. He came to earth as a man for one reason: to re-capture the authority that Satan had stolen through Adam’s disobedience in the garden. Jesus succeeded in securing all power by going to the cross, dying a horrible death, suffering the penalty for sin, and defeating Satan in the pit of hell. #1 – JESUS SECURED OUR POWER AND AUTHORITY Second Corinthians 5:21 says, He hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. I was made the righteousness of God in Christ. At that moment, the righteousness that had been upon me came inside me. I made the decision to receive Jesus as Lord of my life. On November 2, 1962, I used my authority as a human being and made a choice.

You may ask, “Then why don’t all become righteous?” Because in order to receive it, you have to act on righteousness from the point of authority. The Word says that righteousness has come upon all men (Rom. You have entered into this position of authority because you are in Him. That power was given to you as part of your inheritance in Christ Jesus. Jesus said, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. You have been delivered from the power, or authority, of darkness and placed into God’s kingdom. The word power is literally translated authority. When you made Jesus Christ the Lord of your life, Colossians 1:13 says you were delivered from the power of darkness. I want us to examine God’s Word concerning that position and the authority we have in Him. Along with that authority come certain responsibilities. As new creations we have been put in a position of power and authority– a position delegated to us by God through Jesus Christ.
