Episode 52: The Believer's Authority

Heather Bradley and Jackie Skanderup Episode 52

This week, we're diving deep into a topic that's a game-changer for every believer: "The Believer's Authority."  If you've been realizing you might have some open doors that need closing, this episode is here to empower you on how to take back what the enemy has stolen. 

Our authority comes when we walk in obedience to Jesus Christ, and it's the key to putting a stop to demonic attacks in our lives.  Plus, it's how we step into our assignments and take territory for the Kingdom right here on earth! 

Ephesians 2:6 drops some truth bombs: "God has raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus."  Translation? We're spiritually seated in heavenly places with Jesus, carrying His authority in our lives!

But here's the deal: All authority comes from and is under Jesus Christ. We're under His authority, and 1 Timothy 6:15 reminds us, "God is the blessed and only ruler, the king of kings and lord of lords."  We're Jesus' children, totally dependent on Him alone.

And get this, the power behind our authority? It's none other than Jesus Himself, who has all authority! Ephesians 6:10 encourages us to "be strong in the Lord and the power of His might."  We're backed by God's power—it's not about our strength.

Get ready for a powerful conversation about understanding, asserting, and walking in the authority we've been given as Christ followers!
