AUTHORITY

Can you explain everything you see or experience? Do you believe there may be different dimensions of existence?

The Bible tells us that other dimensions do exist…


For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12 (NASB)

In 2 Corinthians 10:3, Paul tells us “though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh”. How does one “war” according to the flesh?

First, one must have the authority to do so. Our authority comes from Jesus Christ and this we accept by faith. Jesus tells us in the Gospel of Mark,


“These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; Mark 16:17 (NASB)

Now, what good is authority if it is not exercised? So, trust in God, in the power of His might and go forward in battle. The Lord is on your side, you cannot fail.

Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. James 4:7 (NASB)

SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD
