The Authority of a Believer
My beloved child, it’s time to be awakened by the Spirit and go to another level so you can receive your orders to carry out My Mission. In the army, the one who has the most authority is the General and he submits to no other rank and exercises his power over every other rank. His qualifications to become a General is he had to fight in and won five wars. That is how he becomes a 5-Star General. The one with no authority in the army is the Private and he submits to all other ranks – he has no power over anyone. There is a time when a Private exercises authority and that is only when he carries out the Orders of the General, in that Mission he carries out the General’s authority. Every rank including the Captain and the Colonel must submit to the authority of the General.
I love the story of the Centurion in (Matthew 8:5-13) when Jesus returned to Capernaum, a Roman officer came and pleaded with him, “Lord, my young servant lies in bed, paralyzed and in terrible pain.” Jesus said, “I will come and heal him.” But the officer said, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come into my home. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed. I know this because I am under the authority of my superior officers, and I have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say, ‘Go,’ and they go, or ‘Come,’ and they come. And if I say to my slaves, ‘Do this,’ they do it.” When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Turning to those who were following him, he said, “I tell you the truth, I haven’t seen faith like this in all Israel! And I tell you this, that many Gentiles will come from all over the world—from east and west—and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the feast in the Kingdom of Heaven. But many Israelites—those for whom the Kingdom was prepared—will be thrown into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Then Jesus said to the Roman officer, “Go back home. Because you believed, it has happened.” And the young servant was healed that same hour.
You have been given Orders from your Heavenly Father and He has a Mission for you to carry out. (Romans 9:17) As you proceed forward fulfilling your assignment you will walk in My authority. Before the General, every gate and door must be unlocked and open. In the Universe, I am the General – your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and I have ALL authority! You have the least authority as a man on earth however when you yield to My will and start carrying out My Orders then you will walk in My Authority. When you walk in My authority ALL doors and Every gate will open before you to proceed walking through. If you live outside My will you will walk in the authority of the Private who has no authority. When you obey ALL My Commands you will have My authority and walk in My power! Only when you obey My commands will you walk inside My will and have My authority. Every rank in the Universe must yield to you and every door will open before you! You will then walk in My power and the glory will fall in your presence. Make it your aim to fully obey My commands and carry out the Mission I have for you – walk in My authority!
Have the faith of the Centurion, he knew authority and walked in authority. He called Jesus Lord, meaning he recognized Jesus had the power to heal his servant boy. How do we know that? He said, ‘you don’t need to come to my house, just speak the Word only and he shall be healed.’ And he was healed!
Pray this with me:
Father God, I ask you to give me a faith builder not only today but every day in Jesus’ all-powerful name. Amen.
