"A Door of Authority has Opened in the Heavenlies"

Much is said in the church today about Christlikeness and we all want to be like Jesus. But what
does Christlikeness really look like? If you examine
the life of Christ, you will see that He was loving
and compassionate; but, also, He did not coddle demons, He rebuked them. When
He encountered demonic forces, He took authority over them. He did not try to
reason with them, He just commanded them to leave. He had zero tolerance for
the enemy!
The Terror of Hell!
Wherever Christ went He spoiled the works of darkness and caused chaos in the
enemy's camp. He was relentless against the powers of darkness. Where there was
sickness, He brought healing. Where sin had taken hold, He blasted it with
deliverance. No demon was safe wherever Jesus went, because He took authority
over the demonic realm. Demons trembled when He approached them. He was the
terror of hell!
Yes, because of the authority He walked in, hell feared Him and they had every
reason to. Jesus knew who He was and Whose He was!
Jesus lived in the realm of the miraculous; His life was hemmed in by one
miracle after another. He did amazing, incredible things. Wherever He went,
blind eyes were healed, lame men walked, the dead were raised, demons fled, and
lepers were cleansed. He astonished the world and then He set the stage for you
and I to walk in the same power and authority that He
did. He prophesied, "Greater works shall [you] do!" (John 14:12).
Christ's Plan for Us:
Greater Works!
He said that we would do even greater works than He did. He wants us to do
greater works; that's His plan for us. It was His idea for us to do great,
incredible, amazing things. He wants us to dwell in the realm of the
miraculous. He wants us to cause as much trouble for the kingdom of darkness as
we can.
Where there is sickness, He wants us to bring healing! He does not want us to
beg Him for healings to take place, He wants us to command
sickness to leave and healing to come in its place. And where there is demonic
activity, He desires for us to cast it out. He wants us to tear down, rip
apart, and ravage the strongholds of the enemy.
A Door of Authority
A door to a greater level of authority has been opened
in the heavenlies, and the church must walk through
it. No longer should we hang our heads in shame or let self-pity wear us down.
No, we must walk in the authority of Christ! It's time for the church to
operate in the authority that Christ purchased for us with His life. It is time
to walk in true Christlikeness, not false humility,
but to truly live like Christ in every respect.
The enemy has been busy harassing the Body of Christ. He has tried to weigh us
down with accusation and condemnation until we feel weak and incapable. But why
has he done this? What is he afraid of?
He is trying so hard to condemn us and convince us we are powerless, because he
is absolutely terrified of us!!! The thought that we might actually discover
just how powerful we are is horrifying to him, so out of his fear of us he
hounds and harasses us.
What Does the Enemy
See When he Looks at Us?
What does the devil see in us that is so terrifying to
him? He sees the righteousness of God in us (see 2 Corinthians 5:21)! He sees
untapped resources of the power of heaven! He sees the prophecy of Christ
looming before him and that, at just the right moment, the church is going to
break forth in the power and authority of Jesus Christ!
He is petrified of you, beloved. That's right, you may see yourself as
insignificant, but believe me, you are what hell fears! When you stand to your
feet, hell trembles. When you kneel to pray, it panics. And when you speak
forth the truth of God in the authority of Christ, demons run screaming.
Sickness knows it must flee when you tell it to. Death knows you have power to
conquer it. The enemy knows that Jesus Christ has given you the keys to the
kingdom to unlock the power of heaven on the earth. The consumable, ferocious,
devouring power of Almighty God is in your mouth. When you walk in the
authority of Jesus Christ and command the enemy to BACK OFF, they know they
must obey you.
For too long we have believed the lies of the enemy - we have
tried to co-exist with him. But we can no longer tolerate the activity
of the enemy in our hearts, minds, bodies, families, churches, cities, and
nations.
There are no little saints in the
"Stick Up for
Yourself!"
I recently prayed for a brother in Christ and, as I did, the Holy Spirit spoke
through me, "Stick up for yourself, boy!"
The words came with power, and such wonderful revelation, too. We have to stick
up for ourselves; we must not let the enemy get away with his harassment of us!
It is time we stick up for who we are in Christ and not let the enemy torment
us with lies of accusation and condemnation.
It's time for the past to stay in the past! Do not let the enemy get away with
reminding you of it in order to keep you chained to it. Rip off the chains of
condemnation and guilt and use them to strangle him. Make him pay for harassing
you and your loved ones and make him fear attacking you again. You ARE the
righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, and great works shall you do.
I Hate Hell!
I hate hell! I hate hell having access or admittance to any member of the
Beloved, it is time to get mad at the devil. He has tried to keep us focused on
hating one another, but his onslaught against us must only rally us together to
fight against him, and fight him we must! We must convince him we do mean
business.
Saints, we have been too passive with the enemy for too long. No more! Grab
hold of the authority of Jesus, man your battle stations and prepare for war!
Please pray this with me:
Dear Jesus,
I repent for not using the gift of authority that You purchased for me with
Your precious blood. Make me the terror of hell and the joy of heaven. Lord, I
thank you that I will walk in your fearless faith. And may I cause as much harm
to the kingdom of darkness as it has caused me!
In Jesus' name, AMEN!
