Continuing from Part I, we’re not just pawns in the hands of the devil. God has given us authority over our circumstances – dominion.
Now, when I talk about the enemy, I’m not just referring to the current virus. Viruses come and go but what about hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, and all kinds of debilitating diseases? What are we to do about those things? The same thing we’re to do about everything else on the earth – take our God-given authority and dominion over them in Jesus’ Name!
Let’s look at some more scriptures.
John 14:12-14 (KJV) 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
John 15:7 (KJV) 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
John 16:23 (KJV) 23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
Philippians 2:9-10 (KJV) 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
Notice how important the Name of Jesus is. We have been given power of attorney to use the Name of Jesus to take authority over the works of the devil. But if we don’t do it, it won’t get done. Crying, whining, and begging God won’t get the job done because He’s given us the dominion mandate and now the ball is in our court!
Sadly, most Christians don’t know about their authority or are ignorant in how to use it. Hopefully your eyes are being open to the truth of God’s Word in this area.
As I’ve said many times in other blogs, I believe we’re on the brink of a major move of the Holy Spirit. But we need to be ready and be in a place where God can use us. Jesus is coming for a triumphant, glorious Church without spot or wrinkle – no wavering – just pure trust and belief in God’s Word!
Brothers and sisters, as I’ve said, these are exciting times for those who are tuned into the things of God. Let’s purpose to be ready so we can be part of this next great outpouring!
Mark 11:23-24 (KJV) 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Mark 16:17-18 (KJV) 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Ephesians 1:22-23 (KJV) 22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
Philippians 2:9-11 (KJV) 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 0 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
