Luke 10:19 (Amplified Bible) Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you.
With authority comes responsibility. And this is where a lot of Christians fall short. They don’t like the responsibility that comes with the authority they have been given. By that I mean they want others to pray and speak for them. Christian laziness, I call it, I see it more and more as time goes by. We are told in James 4:7,”Resist the devil” This verse does not say anything about our pastor resisting the devil for us. It does not tell us to call every prayer group in the country and have them resist the devil for us. No, each one of us has to operate in our own authority. When we get into a tough situation, we must speak to it. We must talk to the mountain. Through Christ, we have the authority to speak to every enemy that comes against us. We have the power to walk on top of them.
Have A Blessed day
