Sermon Tone Analysis

Right at the very beginning of creation God gave man authority in the garden.

Satan through deception robbed man of his god-given authority on earth.

Ever since then man has lived in bondage to sin.

When Jesus said, it is finished; He completed the work of regaining the authority that man had lost.

He took the keys, meaning He took the power and authority back from Satan, and gave all authority back to man.

But most people don’t realize that they possess this authority, so until someone operates in the authority given them, authority is useless.

Jesus never meant for his followers to struggle through life but to walk in victory.

Today, we will look at walking in Spiritual Authority.

1.

In the Great Commission -

What Jesus is saying here is, I possess all authority in heaven and earth.

He then released his disciples to take the message of the gospel into all the world.

SAY ALL THE WORLD!

With that same authority that He operated in while he walked this life.

Has been given to us His church and we are His church!

2. 19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of His power to us who believe, according to the working of His vast strength.

20 He demonstrated this power in the Messiah by raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His right hand in the heavens — 21 far above every ruler and authority, power and dominion, and every title given, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

22 And He put everything under His feet and appointed Him as head over everything for the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of the One who fills all things in every way.

(HCSB)

Jesus isn’t just sitting in heaven waiting for our arrival.

He is seated at the right hand of God, as the High Priest of God, who makes intercessions for us.

Jesus is the head of the church, we operate as His body.

Since He is above everything, we are above everything by being in Christ.

Everything is under our feet.

Through the name of Jesus, the Word of God, the blood of Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit, we operate in authority over everything.

Most Christians don’t even know about this authority or they don’t want to as it makes them accountable.

Say Amen or Oh me!!

Jesus has freed us from the domination of sin in our lives.

Everything that the devil had on us, Jesus erased by His blood.

He made a show of the devil nailing all of our sins to the cross.

So we don’t walk in defeat, but victory over sin, Satan and all powers in this world.

3. 14 He erased the certificate of debt, with its obligations, that was against us and opposed to us, and has taken it out of the way by nailing it to the cross.

15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and disgraced them publicly; He triumphed over them by Him.

(HCSB)

4. 4 You are from God, little children, and you have conquered them, because the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

(HCSB)

Why have we overcome?

Because of the Holy Spirit operating in us, the same power that raised Christ from the dead is at work in each of us now.

We have greater power, in Jesus Name, than all the demonic forces in this world.

We can take authority over anything that comes against us.

Remember, No weapon formed against us will prosper.

[Isaiah 54:27]

Jesus gave the 70 power to go out in His name.

They rejoiced that the devil was subject to them through the name of Jesus.

Jesus has been given a name that is above every other name.

There is an agreement between heaven and us on earth.

Jesus is the Head, seated with all authority, He binds what we bind, and He loses what we lose.

You can bind up the devil in Jesus name and cast him to the pit where he belongs.

You can lose people from the chains that bind them.

Chains of addictions, chains of depressions, sickness and despair.

The list can go on forever… Jesus is the answer for all of life’s problems.

6. 18 I assure you: Whatever you bind on earth is already bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth is already loosed in heaven.

(HCSB)

I really need to stress this here… so please listen.

This is not carnal authority that I’m talking about, but is the authority that God has given into our lives through Jesus Christ.

If we operate from our flesh, we will be defeated.

We must operate in the Spirit of God, Word of God and Name of Jesus to walk in ultimate victory.

7. 3 For though we live in the body, we do not wage war in an unspiritual way, 4 since the weapons of our warfare are not worldly, but are powerful through God for the demolition of strongholds.

We demolish arguments 5 and every high-minded thing that is raised up against the knowledge of God, taking every thought captive to obey Christ.

(HCSB)

We must operate in the Spirit of God, Word of God and Name of Jesus to walk in ultimate victory.

You see, having authority and using authority are two separate things.

All believers have been given this power from on high, but not all operate in their God given authority.

Until you learn Spiritual Warfare, you will be unable to walk in the total freedom that Jesus purchased by His Blood, for you.

9. “Christ has liberated us to be free.

Stand firm then and don’t submit again to a yoke of slavery.”

(HCSB)

We must stand in the liberty that Christ has made us free.

You have to stand in the liberty, having done all, to stand.

We must stand in the liberty that Christ has made us free.

You have to stand in the liberty, having done all, to stand.

We must stand in the liberty that Christ has made us free.

You have to stand in the liberty, having done all, to stand.

Listen - acting like you have authority and really possessing authority are two different things.
