YOUR AUTHORITY IN CHRIST
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his
great love wherewith he loved us, Even
when we were dead in sins, hath
quickened us together with Christ, (by
grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us
up together, and made us
sit together in heavenly places in Christ
Jesus
(Ephesians 2:4-6).
The Lord Jesus is seated at the right hand
of the Father, far above all principality,
and power, might, dominion, and every
name that is named. He
occupies the most exalted throne there
is; and the good news is that we’re
seated with Him. Thus,together, we’re
reigning over all principality, and power,
and might,and dominion,and every name
that is named.
Glory to God!
God gave Jesus authority over all
creation. At the mount of transfiguration,
He spoke out of heaven and said, “...This
is my beloved Son, in whom I am well
pleased; hear ye him”(Matthew17:5).
Here, God commanded all creation—all of
nature—animate and inanimate, to be
subject to Jesus.
Now, in our opening verse the Apostle
Paul makes this remarkable statement
about us,the new creation in Christ:
“Even when we were dead in sins, hath
quickened us together with Christ,(by
grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us
up together, and made us sit together in
heavenly places in Christ Jesus”(Ephesian
s2:5-6). In the realm of the spirit, you’re
seated with Christ; you occupy his place
of authority,with the power of attorney to
act in His stead. All the powers of
darkness respond to, and recognize, your
authority in Christ. Therefore, be bold to
exercise this dominion in every area of
your life.
You’re not ordinary. You operate from a
higher realm where your words are
backed with divine power. Ecclesiastes
8:4 says, “Where the word of a king is,
there is power….” All authority has been
vested on you to alter the circumstances
of your life to be in sync with God’s
perfect will. You can speak words of
power to break the influence of Satan
over men’s lives, and cause the light of
this glorious Gospel to shine upon them.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for giving me all
authority in heaven and in earth to walk
in dominion over all the power of the
enemy. I reign gloriously today over
every force of nature, as I triumphantly
fulfil God’s perfect will for me, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.

Behold! I have given you authority and

that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing
