POWER and Authority

If a landscaper is working on your lawn and you ask him to remove a tree, you have permitted him to remove it. He has all the authority he needs to take the tree out. However, if he does not have the right equipment, he cannot uproot the tree. He needs power and the right tools to get the job done.

When it comes to walking in the ministry of Jesus, including healing the sick and setting captives free, we need both authority and power. Authority comes from the fact that the Lord has commissioned us for the task and authorized us to cast out demons and heal the sick.

The power we need is the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Acts 10:38 says, “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.”

The same Holy Spirit comes upon us and releases His supernatural gifts in us, empowering us to do the works of Jesus.

Let’s ask the Lord for a greater revelation of our authority in His name. And let’s pursue a greater empowerment of the Holy Spirit in our lives. As we walk in authority and power, we will see the kingdom of God advancing and the kingdom of darkness defeated!
