God is the Heard of authority(Rm 13:1).
All authorities comes from Him and
All authorities return to Him(1Pe 5:11; Jude 1:25).
Faith is believing Him and receiving the right to become His children, and
The life of this faith is exercising that right and giving Him glory.
"Authority or "right is the power to
Influence or command thought or behavior by word,
For the tongue has the power of life and death(Pr 18:21).
God showed such during the creation:
He commanded and all things obeyed(Ge 1:11, Ge 1:15, Ge 1:24, Ge 1:30).
While in heaven, Satan, i.e., Lucifer, wanted to
Ascend the throne and become the ruler(Is 14:12-15; Eze 28:14-17).
He was, however, cast down to Hades instead to face judgment(2Pe 2:4).
Deceived by Satan, i.e., the devil, Adam sinned,
Consequently losing his right to govern and enjoy the Garden(Ge 2:3), and he was held:
1. Bondage to the devil(2Pe 2:19); and
2. Bondage to decay(flesh)(Rm 8:21).
With full power from God, Moses was sent and
With his staff, Moses performed miracles and delivered Israel from Egypt(Ex 4:17).
Yet it was not his staff but Aaron's staff that was placed
Inside the testimony of the sanctuary(Nu 17:10) for
It was a reminder that authorities come from the name of God(1Ki 8:16).
Jesus said, "Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days(Jn 2:19), because
Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body,
He would tear down the name Jehovah and raise the name Y'shua for
It is the name of God that He came in(Mt 1:21; Jn 17:11).
And He also came with two types of authorities:
The authority to judge sin and the authority to forgive(Mt 9:6; Jn 5:27).
As He died, Jesus said, "It is finished(Jn 19:30), declaring that He:
1. Used His authority to lay down His life giving glory to the Father(Jn 10:18; Php 2:6-11);
2. Judged the origin of sin(1Jn 3:8); and
3. With His blood redeemed the sins of those held in bondage to the devil(Mt 20:28; He 2:15).
The Father raised Him up and seated Him on the heavenly throne(Rev 3:21) and
Jesus eternally became the Head of authorities(Php 2:11).
The Holy Spirit comes to those who received the name Y'shua and
Have receive the right to become children of God(Jn 1:12) and
Lets them honor and use the right.
The right of children of God is
The power to command thoughts or behavior by their word:
1. Confess with mouth --> inherit the kingdom of heaven, eternal life(Mt 19:29; Rm 8:17, Rm 10:10);
2. Declare forgiveness of sin --> sins of others are forgiven(Jn 20:23);
3. Command demons --> they are driven out(Mk 16:17); and
4. Seek whatever --> done accordingly(Jn 14:13; 1Jn 5:13-15).
The men of the Spirit are those who
Defend and exercise the right of children of God and give glory Him for
They hope to one day receive the right to enter the Holy City(Rev 22:14).
O Lord,
Our Father in heaven,
The name Y'shua is my authority, my right!
The name Y'shua is all I need!
Open our eyes to see what kind of authority we have received as Your children and
Let us experience this authority and give You glory. Amen
