The Believer's Authority (6)
And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him,
Master, carest thou not that we perish? And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful?
How is it that ye have no faith? And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
Mark 4:37-41 KJV
We have been exploring the jurisdiction of the Believer's Authority. We have seen that the Believer has authority over the devil, sickness and disease and substances that are toxic in nature like poison and venom.
So, it stands to reason to say that Satan, sickness, disease, poison and venom from serpents or scorpions have no power over the Believer because Jesus has given him authority over all these things. Hallelujah!
God expects us to reign over them and not to be afraid of them. You can claim your immunity over them in the Name of Jesus and they will have no power to harm you. Let's start using our authority over them.
The next thing that the Believer was given authority over is nature. The authority of the Believer is actually the authority of Jesus Christ delegated to the Believer. So, let's find out what Jesus' authority covered
Once we get to know what Jesus was able to do with his authority, then we can tell or discern what we can do with the Believer's authority. We know that Jesus exercised authority over nature and it obeyed Him.
Therefore, Jesus' authority covers nature which means that the Believer's authority which is the authority of Jesus delegated to the Believer covers nature. The Believer now has authority over nature like Jesus
Our opening scripture shows us how he was asleep in a ship one day and there was a serious storm on the sea. So, his disciples woke him and asked him to do something about the storm. I like this.
Jesus woke up and spoke to the storm and the Bible says, the storm calmed down. The disciples were shocked and they said what manner of man is this that even the winds and the waves obey him.
Well, Jesus was exercising His authority over nature and He has given or delegated the same authority to us today. Believers everywhere have authority over nature in the Name of Jesus. This is absolutely true
Jesus spoke to a fig tree one day and it obeyed him because he was exercising this same authority. This authority is now yours, what have you done with it? Are you still calling on God to come to your aid?
Or are you exercising your authority over nature. Now you can speak to the wind, to the waves, to the sun, to the moon, to the rain, to trees and to animals and they will all obey you. It is the Believer's authority.
You have authority over nature. When it is going contrary to you, then you exercise your authority over it and it will obey you exactly the way it did Jesus. Jesus was not afraid when he was in that storm.
He knew that he had authority over it and when he used his authority, he saw results. The reason many Believers are scared of such things is because they don't know that they have authority over all of nature
Then some who know about it are yet to believe, hence they get scared and even when they use the authority, they use it in fear and this robs them of their outcomes or results. Now, use your authority in faith. Blessings!
