Maybe it began for you as a child on the playground. Many have been the object of taunting and harassment from a childhood bully. Just because the bully was bigger, louder, or seemingly more powerful, that doesn’t mean they had the AUTHORITY to mistreated you. Whether it was your childhood nemesis, an overreaching law enforcement officer or someone else who attempted to use their power to abuse you, YOU have a right to exercise your authority.

Authority is the delegated right to rule, govern, decide, judge or act.

Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.  He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. Luke 9:1-2

You are Christ’s modern day disciple. Today you have power by way of the Holy Spirit at work in you. Authority has been delegated to you by the Lord Jesus. You been deputized to act on behalf of the kingdom. Here are 4 things you can do to operate in your authority. 

  1. Take Your Rightful Place

    We were given dominion in the beginning. And though Adam sinned, the finished work of Jesus restores us to our rightful place of dominion. Now you are seated far above all principalities and powers. It is from this position as a kingdom citizen that you have a right to operate on the King’s behalf. And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins…Even when we were dead in sins, (God) hath quickened us together with Christ…And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Eph. 2:1,5,6).

  2. Speak The Word of God

    God’s Word has power! From the beginning, the Word was. Angels harken to perform the word. The word goes forth to accomplish God’s will. His word is exalted above all so SPEAK His word.

  1. Obey God

    Lack of obedience can cause you to cede your authority. God demands our full and complete obedience. Anything less than is disobedience. Stand in your full authority by simply doing what God tells you to do. Blessing, protection, and provision belong to those who obey.

  2. Stand

    Stand against the kingdom of darkness. Put on your full armor and stand resolute trusting God. Resist the devil, giving him no foothold. Plead the blood of Jesus. Speak the name of Jesus. And stand and see the salvation of the Lord.

 
You are no longer the little kid on the playground. You will no longer allow the enemy to belittle and harass you. You will stand in your position as a kingdom citizen and exercise your God given authority. You will legislate over the affairs of your family. You will govern in the sphere of influence God’s appointed you to. You will rule over your flesh. You will act on God’s behalf to advance His kingdom.
It is our turn and our time to continue the work of carrying out the Great Commission. It is our time to do GREATER WORKS as Jesus said. We must DO the work of Him who called and sent us. We must build His kingdom. His kingdom come His will be done on earth as is in Heaven. Exercise your authority!
