Authority is conferred is not achieved Matthew 8:8/13 (speak the word only). We don't exercise authority by watching, waiting or wishing, we exercise it by speaking. A closed mouth will remain an oppressed life John 18:4-8 -- authority is exercised by speaking Isaiah 53:7/8 -- (He was cut off out of the land of the living for me).
The problem of many believers today is spiritual dumbness. Jesus as the living word was oppressed because He opened not His mouth in order to accomplish His mission
Every child of God is redeemed and a disciple and we have been given power over all devils Luke 9:1-2 John 1:12. Power and authority is domiciled in our redemption. At new birth, we are raised together and positioned to exercises His authority Ephesians 2:5-6
By redemption, we are far from oppression supernatural but we have to exercise our authority Isaiah 54:14 Like 10:19. The power is inside and the authority is on us bit we have to exercise it otherwise, we remain oppressed and afflicted.
They wont obey until they hear Psalms 18:43-45 -- whatever is too big for your mouth from God's word is too big for your hands. Whatever you are too civilised to declare , you can not have Psalms 81:10-14 Mark 8:38 Acts 14:3 -- it's only loud talkers that commands the supernatural. Until you speak to that mountain, it will never move Mark 11:23.
The root of the problem is that you don't have the word of God dwelling in you richly Matthew 12:34 Colossians 3:16. If you don't have the words of truth in you, you will be speaking the words of errors. Until you say sickness go, it won't go. People knows how to talk to God but we don't know how to talk to situation. God won't talk to your situation for you.
It's not just speaking, it's speaking boldly and authority Luke 4:36 -- Jesus don't wish, He commanded. Be conscious of the authority conferred on you by redemption and the power in you by salvation.
We don't exercise authority with closed mouth and a timid heart Mark 11:23 -- it's not a bold face affair, it's a bold heart issue. You say it and walk out on the devil with audacity. You don't say it and wondering whether it will happen or not. It's time to step out in faith and recover all the enemies has stolen from your life.
There is someone inside me that is greater than what is in this world 1 John 4:4 - because He lives, I live also.
