The way to overcome fear, doubt, and unbelief and live a life of POWER AND AUTHORITY
Authority is different than faith, “Faith is access to grace.” Galatians 5:6, faith works through love directed toward God because loving God is the root and source of true faith, accepting His grace through faith, but authority comes with the nature of Christ within you. Authority is the recognized right, power, or influence to make decisions, give orders. I’m not talking about ordering people around. In this case, it’s authority over sin, sickness, disease and demons or anything that poses an opposition to Gods work. It is dependent upon what Christ has done on the cross.
9 For in Him lives all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And you are COMPLETE IN HIM, who is the head of ALL AUTHORITY AND POWER. 11 In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 buried with Him in baptism, in which also you were raised with Him through the faith of the power of God, who has raised Him from the dead.
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has resurrected together with Him, having forgiven you all sins. 14 He blotted out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us and contrary to us, and He took it out of the way, nailing it to the cross. 15 And having disarmed authorities and powers, He made a show of them openly, triumphing over them by the cross. (Colossians 2:9–15, MEV)
