Spirit Wars
To be effective in spiritual warfare
you have to be in right standing and know the power and authority God has provided.
Last message i spoke was a mile high overview of Understanding your identity.
That’s step #1
before you can exercise your Authority and power
It is essesntial you understand who you are.
I plan to do an entire series on this topic in the future
probably on each of these topics
but in this series were going to focus on a broad overview.
I would encourage you if you already haven’t done so.
To you the tool to personalize the scriptures on our website.

If you want to exercise authority in Christ, you must understand it.
Jesus delegated authority to His followers and commanded them to preach the gospel
Authority comes from God, and it is His gift to us
Today we’re going to Find out how we should exercise authority as Christ would have us do and live victoriously.
What is Authority?
def: Authority .....Is the right/responsibility to do something aka permission
If you have a bank account you have the authority to remove funds from that account
someone else should not remove funds without you giving them authority.
If you own a home…you have the authority on who can enter the home
I can’t just walk into someones house sit on the couch and start watching TV.
Unless they give me permission to do so.
that permission is provided by authority.
I can’t just tell someone to make themselves at home in someone elses house.
I can do that in my home…because i have authority in my home because I own it
but I can’t do that in someone else’s home
There can be differnt levels of authortiy or restrictions.
I could say this company can withdrawal X amount of funds from my account every month to cover the cost of a bill.
they are restricted to the permissions I set.
One of the most noticable areas of Authority we see is the Police.
The laws of our land has given them authority to do things that the average person cannot do.
they carry a gun
they don’t have to obey traffic laws.
they can violate a persons rights.
under our laws they a limited in that their authority has to be justified.
they can just do it because they want to.
There has to be a justifiable reason.
time when police vehicle did a 180 right infront of me
Why am i bringing this up.
Its to demostrate each one of us navigates authority every day in the natural.
as the one in authority over your posessions and those under your charge
but also under those who have authority over us.
the bible isn’t quiet on this matter
We already read Romans 13:1
Rejection of authority is not good
Jude was referring to the Gnostics
a group of people with very distorted view of the gospel.
He is pinpointing specific Gnostic beliefs:
debauchery,
total freedom from authority,
even insulting angels
Gnostics believed that a person was free to do whatever he wanted, debauch himself to any extent, and God would forgive it, for He is gracious.
They believed that no one had authority over them,
that they were free from law,
that they were free from government because they were spiritual.
No one, then, could tell them what to do.
They had progressed beyond all need for physical law of any type of authority, court, or physical government.
Lastly, they were so self-willed that they would even reject the authority of angels, believing that they were higher than the angels
You will never be able to exert Godly authority without first understanding what it means to be under Authority
This basic lesson is foundational to the nuclear family
Children learn under the parent’s authority so that they can become parents and operated under that authority.
Abuse of Authority
Every one of us has probably been in a time when someone in authority over us has abused that authority.
That has become such the norm that of the the more common jabs at leaders is to call them authoritarian
sometimes its justified, but somtimes its said just because the leader doesn’t do what the person wants them to do.
nobody likes an authoritarian, but the problem is not the authority, but rather the abuse of it.
Today I want to acknowlege 7 truths of Authority
#1 – JESUS SECURED OUR AUTHORITY
God gave authority to man
When Adam and Eve sinned satan took up authority on earth
When Adam & Eve sinned and were kicked out of the garden of Eden satan became the prince of the air
Jesus never disputed this when satan confronted Him during the wilderness after His baptism
satan offered Jesus to regain authority over the earth if He would worship him.
aren’t you Glad Jesus had another way?
Jesus gives specific authority to His disciples
Jesus regains All Authority on the earth
After Jesus died and rose again conquering death he went to His disciples
Ok if Jesus was given all authority, how much did satan have?
non zilch zero
#2 – WE HAVE AUTHORITY TO PREACH THE GOSPEL
Jesus gave Authority to His Church
A Disciples job is to become a dicsiple maker.
teaching them to do everything Jesus told them to do.
If Jesus taught His disciples to heal the sick.
they were to pass that on to their disciples
If Jesus taught His disciples to cast out demons.
they were to pass that on to their disciples
If Jesus taught His disciples to preach the Gospel.
they were to pass that on to their disciples
If Jesus taught His disciples to make disciples.
they were to pass that on to their disciples
nothing was to be lost.
nothing was just to prove the power of the disciples
this was a perpetual state of Authority and power for the disciples to pass on to the next generation.
“all” that i have commanded you.
#3 – WE HAVE AUTHORITY TO STAND AGAINST SATAN
God is there with you to back His Word; but all is worthless unless you take your position of authority and assume the responsibility to use what He has provided.
You have the authority to take the Word of God, the name of Jesus, and the power of the Holy Spirit and run satan out of your affairs.
