AUTHORITY OF GOD Speaker: Dr. Paul Dhinakaran Gist: God gives His authority to those who believe in His name. Our Lord Jesus Christ has the authority over the kingdom of the earth, heaven and the satan.
“Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” (Luke 12:32)
He gives His authority to those who believe in His name. In Mark 16:17,18, Jesus said, “And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; "they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
Several years back, when a servant of God was passing through tribulations in his life, the Lord showed him a vision. In his vision, the angel of the Lord took him to the hell. He saw the satan and the other evil spirits surrounded him. They were planning to enter into the life of the famous personalities so that they can capture the nations and torment the servants of God.
When the angel uttered the name “Jesus”, all the devils stood up and cried, “Has Jesus come as the King of Kings to the world to bind us permanently in the darkness?” The Angel looked at the servant of God with a smile and said, “Look, when the name of Jesus is pronounced, the hell is trembling. Why do you worry? He has kept His name on your forehead and nothing can harm you.
Dear friend, His name has the power to crush any kind of problem in your life. When you believe in His name, you will receive His authority and power to face the challenges of life. Be of good cheer.
Prayer:
Loving Lord Jesus,
You have the authority over the kingdom of the earth, heaven and the satan. Today, I claim it in Your name. I believe that You are always with me and I can cast out demons in Your name. Help me to lead a life pleasing to You always. Bless this day and prosper all my efforts.
All glory, honour and praises belong to You alone.
Amen.
