Believers authority 1

Memorize: Luke 9:1
   One day Jesus called together his twelve disciples and gave them power and authority to cast out all demons and to heal all diseases.

Message:
      Authority means power to enforce or implement or command(situation,disease,sickness or devil)
   Authority is not a result of the hard work; fasting or prayer which you have done, but it's the function of the relationship with Jesus which releases the authority.
      Many people taught we need fasting and prayer as believers to exercise our authority,which is not right or real.

          Source of authority
1.  Knowledge;when your knowledge surpasses that of others then you become an authority in the field.  Devil has the authority he enforced on people because he knows a lot about man creation. Gen 16:9
  I.e   Your father has authority over you because you know his your father.

2. Inheritance; Gal 4:1-2.

3. Ordination: these can also be regarded as constituted authority.

4. Announcement. This happen when Jesus was baptised and immediately a voice from heaven announced him to the world,' this is my beloved son whom I am well pleased'.......
Matthew 3:16-17
       When God annonces a man then no one or nothing can challenge him.
        God don't announce just anyone but chosen ones with complete obedience.

Note:
   Authority is all about Jesus, because he has obeyed God and God handed over to him all powers and authority.
    Jesus is the costodian of authority both in heavens and on earth.

Prayer:
1. Oh Lord give me the spirit of obedience in jesus name.
2. Knowledge is power,Lord help me to search out and understand my authority in jesus name.
