Mar 16:17 “And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues ;
Mar 16:18 “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.”
It baffles one to see believers who profess to represent the kingdom of God appearing defeated, hopeless and totally overwhelmed by the circumstances and challenges they are facing . Such a scenario can only be explained by their inability to know exactly who they are or their portfolio in the kingdom they represent.
The word authority means the right and power to do something. We have been given authority to carry out the purposes of God . We have power in his name to cast out demons and heal the sick. We have power and authority to trample on Satan, his demons, witches and wizards and nothing by any means shall hurt us.
As we walk in the authority that is ours in Christ, we must always remember that our enemy is no match for the Almighty God . The Bible says that we will declare a thing and it will be established. We must learn to start ruling our sphere of influence on our knees. The devil has no legal authority over believers!
