Eternal Security

Can You Lose your salvation?

Some teach that you can. And often feel like they have. But what does the Word of God promise regarding eternal security of those who have truly trusted Christ as their Savior?

1. Salvation is God’s Work, Not our Work.

If our eternal destiny relied on us, Nothing about our future would be secure. Thankfully, God designed salvation to depend on Himself alone. He offers us salvation by grace through our faith. (Ephesians 2:8-9). Jesus finished the work of our salvation on the cross. He rose from the dead leaving nothing for helpless sinners to do but believe on Him (Acts 4:12). God not only can save us, but He keeps us saved (1 Peter 1:5).

Moreover, each person of the Trinity protects your eternal security.

The Father, the Son, And the Holy Spirit

  • The Father: “My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of my hand.” -John 10:29
  • The Son: “And I give them eternal life, and the shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of my hand.” – John 10:28
  • The Holy Spirit: “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.” -Ephesians 4:30

If God guarantees your salvation, who will be able to overcome Him and wrestle it away from you? Satan cannot pry you out of God’s grasp. Not even you could slip through God’s fingers.

2. Eternal Life Begins The Moment You Choose To Believe

John 3:16 promises, “Whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” The moment you choose to believe in Jesus alone for salvation you will have everlasting life. This life starts immediately and continues beyond physical death into eternity. If it could be lost, this Life could not be called “everlasting life.” It could certainly be potential life, or conditional life. But it would certainly not be “everlasting life.

3. Eternal Life is a Relationship, Not A Possession

In Jesus’ prayer the night before the crucifixion, He described eternal life as more than length of existence. “And this eternal life, that they may know You, The only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.” – John 17:3 (KJV). Eternal life is a relationship with the eternal God. The moment you choose to believe, He becomes your Father. – John 1:12-13), you are born again and experience irreversible regeneration. -John 3:3; 15-16. You become a member of God)# family forever, He will not abandon you. – Hebrews 13:5-6

4. You Are “In Christ” and Can Never Be Condemned.

If you choose to believe Jesus died and rose again, then you are ‘in Christ.’ What Jesus did radically changes your standing before God. Jesus endured the condemnation we deserve as a guilty sinners. Since the price was paid, we can never be condemned. -Romans 8:1, 33-34. Jesus satisfied God’s wrath and justice on our behalf 1 John 2:2;4:10.

5. In Christ we Can Never be Separated from Him

In Romans 8 in describes those things that separate people from people-death, time, distance, and powerful beings to name a few. Yet, these dividers cannot isolate us from our Savior.

Who shall separate us from the love of Messiah? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Even as it is written,”For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter. No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from God’s love with is in Messiah Yeshua our Lord.” Romans 8:34-39 (Messianic Bible).

6. In God’s Eyes, You are already Glorified

God is not subject to time. He knows the end from the beginning. -Isaiah 46:10. What is a future to you is finished to Him.

If you are truly saved, your destiny is secure. Romans 8:30 tells us, “Whom He predestined, those He also called. Whom He called, those He justified. Whom He justified, those He also glorified.”

So, Can You Lose Your Salvatiom?

That’s the wrong question. Have you trusted Jesus alone to save you from your sin? When you do, the eternal security of your salvation lies with God alone.

Broken Children Lead To Grown-Up Pain

The world is not whole. This reality was paraded in front of me in my childhood home —and maybe yours too.

Parents burden their children’s shoulders with responsibilities far beyond their capacity to bear. Some are celebrated for being “wise beyond our years,” but the secret is it’s because we never got to be kids.

Some boys were taught to “act like men” or that there was no time for them. Some girls were taught that men were scum. Family members abuse, and manipulate children physically, verbally, and emotionally. The very people that we’re supposed to protect us instead ignored and harm them. Trust was fundamentally fractured and we scramble to cope. Alone.

Parents fight violently. They abandon each other. Parents or siblings die. Children are blamed for circumstances that we’re never their fault. Some become a sponge for shame and disgust, and absorb every last insult and punch.

This puts children in the mode for survival.

Heartbreaking realities exist for broken children, that turn into grown-up pain. We grew up way to fast, than our little brains could handle. The result is feeling like we are “damaged goods.”

But, God is intimately familiar which each one of our pasts. Nothing is hidden from Him, especially not our terrors in the dead of night. Yet because of our backgrounds, we don’t act according to the standard script.

If you didn’t have “the right” upbringing or didn’t fit in to all the click groups. You didn’t have a chance to develop “the correct skill set or manners. You either got loud or silent. To say the least I always felt like I was invisible, and thought I wasn’t even from Earth.

There Is Hope

There are Bible verses that are meant to strengthen us. But, what happens when our circumstances don’t match what the Bible is saying, or the goodness of God was never taught? Where’s the hope then? We cry and pray for someone to come “save us” but that someone never comes. After that Satan has to get his punches in. ‘No one cares, you’re not worth it.’

We actually learn to hate before we learn to love, For years I wallowed in my wounds. And I absolutely knew no one would ever understand what I had gone through. For year’s i tried to deny my trauma. I stuffed my grown-up pain deep inside along with all the childhood pain.

It took years for me to realize I didn’t have to deny the trauma. I didn’t have to deny my frustration that I didn’t know what it was like to feel safe or assured of love and protection. No one ever should believe that the burdens they bear overpower God’s Words.

It wasn’t until I was invited to a Christian Conference that a thought “well, that’s kinda not my thing.” But, God showed me something that completely changes my life,

A complete stranger walked up to me, and I swear she could see straight through me. At first, I was “Okay, Run!” As I listened to her and she prayed over me. I felt like a heavy heavy burden lift from me. She told me that it was time to heal.

After 37 years it was time to heal. After 14 years of going to counselors and doctors. Each told me they couldn’t help me. God said it was time to heal -And it was.

God’s love is not like human love. With one small prayer the day I swore would never come and it started the healing process.

God sees our wounds more clearly than we do. There comes a time when it’s time to let God draw the poison of distrust, shame, and fear out of your wounds. It hurts, but it’s worth it in the long run.

The only thing is you have to “fear the Lord.”

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” -Proverbs 9:10

Don’t for a minute think you are less than anything because of your background. We can all be new creations, no matter our past.

All the things that have caused tears, and pain will seem like light momentary afflictions. One day, you will be whole, and full of hope.

“For our light affliction, which for a moment, works for us more and more exceedingly at eternal weight of glory.“ – 2 Corinthians 4:17.

Don’t Try To Do Everything In Your Own Strength

When we try to do everything in our own strength we begin to feel burdened and weighed down.

I was reading a post by Jonathan Cahn this morning. And he was telling a account of what him and his friends used to with quarters. I remember kids doing this when I was young.

I remember when I was growing up. Kids used to pray a practical joke on others. By super gluing a quarter to the sidewalk. When someone bent down to pick it up, it wouldn’t move. It was fixed to the sidewalk. A quarter barely weighs anything, but when superglued to the pavement it weighs as much as the pavement.

It was a cruel joke, but there is a great spiritual lesson. If you’re trying to be strong, and righteous in you’re own strength, you’re own strength will always fall short.

It’s not going to weigh much. But if you attach yourself to God; to His righteousness, then His strength, His weight, His power, His resources and His abilities then His authority becomes yours. You will not live by your weight, not by the lightness of the quarter but by the solidarity of the Rock (God). Be strong in the Lord and the power of His might. It’s a truth that can change your life. We should try every day to live by the weight and power of God that is in us, and not by the lightness of the coin.

Where Do You Get Your Values

“Whatever you hav learned or received or heard from me,nor seen in me – put into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.“ -Philippians 4:9

A value or ethic is a principle or standard about what is important in one’s life. A followers values hold as important principles of life that Jesus taught.

A follower of Christ does not change over time. They are consistent from generation to generation since their foundations are found in God’s Word.

“All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, they each person who belongs to God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.“ -2 Timothy 3:16-17

The values the Jesus taught in the New Testament can be Somme up in two thoughts –love God and Love others. Here are some samples of values that are presented in the Word of God.

  • Generosity -This is the core value of being kind and unselfish.

“The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor.” – Proverbs 22:9

  • Courage – The value is characterized by boldness and confidence, it’s the opposite of fear.

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be dismayed, for the Lord God is with you wherever you go.“ -Joshua 1:9

  • Love – is a fundamental characteristic of who God is and it’s a value that I’d to describe His children as well.

“We love because He first loved us.” – 1 John 4:19

  • Respect – This value is to be conscious that God has created all people in His image. As a response, we show respect to all.

“Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear aGod, honor the king.” – 1 Peter 2:17

  • Hope – The value of hope is confident expectation. It’s a firm assurance in God.

“Indeed surly there is a hope, and your hope will not be cut off.” – Proverbs 23:17

  • Peace – There are many aspects of this value mentioned in the Bible. It refers to rest and tranquility and ultimate peace is a gift from God. God’s peace is Shalom Peace.

“So, then, let’s follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.” -Romans 14:19

Applying These Values

A follower of Jesus is someone whose behavior and heart reflects Jesus Christ. That’s what it means to be a true follower of Jesus. Applying these values is to be the intention of every true believer. That’s why it is written by the Apostle Paul, “Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me – put it not practice. And the God of peace will be with you.” -Philippians 4:9

As we read God’s Word, we become to know God better, and understand His purpose for is in the world. We learn the values He holds dear and we grow to love those values too. The Holy Spirit works through us to spread God’s love through good works, leading others to eternal life through Jesus.

God is very clear in His Word how to apply each of these values He holds dear. One way to tell if you hold these values God hold dear, is how we treat others.

“Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.” – Romans 12:9-10

“The Bible tells us that, “One who gives to the poor had no lack; but one who closes his eyes will have many curses.” – Proverbs 28:27

Jesus looked people in need directly in the eye. He saw them. As their creator. He loved them. He didn’t turn His eyes away from poverty or illness. He stopped and gave people hope. He wasn’t motivated by what people in need could offer Him. He had a genuine love for them and wanted to help meet their needs -physical, emotional, and spiritual. He always acted with compassion.

True followers of Jesus are called to do the same, we are called to love God and Lovr people. As Jesus says,

“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. A second likewise is this, Yoy shall love your neighbor as yourself.“ -Matthew 22:37

I believe that we as Americans have gotten so spoiled with all the blessings we have we have gotten very selfish.

Third-world countries are class countries are classified ad counties that are poor or developing. Counties that are part of the “third world are generally characterized by three things.

  • High rates of powerty
  • Economic and/or political instability
  • High mortality rates

Despite that the government in America is trying to turn us into a third-world Country. We are still rich, if you have food to eat, a roof over your head, and drive a vehicle. You would be considered rich in a third world country.

With all the people who are claiming to be oppressed, and offended or hate the country we live in. Where did America’s value system go?

Where do your values come from?

Perspective Is Everything

Our perspective is the lens at which we view life and most importantly God’s role in our life.

Our perspective is formed by what we believe is true. As believers of Jesus wisdom should come from God’s Word. It should open up characteristics and truths about Jesus that can unlock an intimacy with Him that we haven’t known before. But, many times we do not take advantage of this wisdom. We don’t require ourselves to use the wisdom to create a new perspective develop a new lens to look through.

We don’t mirror our thoughts after Him, we mirror our thoughts after those around us. Stories on social media, friends, entertainment and the list goes on.

I changed my entire life for the better by developing a new perspective. For many years I mirrored myself with everything around me, what other people thought I should be. It was the most horrible years of my life. perspective is definitely everything.

If we harvest the wisdom that we can gain from Godly values, and morals we would begin to for a new perspective -we would begin to identify God’s goodness in our lives. But instead to many people would rather, follow after their lusts and desires to do what ever they want. Nothing else matters except them.

So, what exactly is God’s goodness? What does that even mean? In order to understand God’s goodness – you must first understand what His goals are, what His mindset is. His mindset is, and always will be His glory. Yes, He loves us, but He desires us to desire Him and glorify Him. Look at Isaiah 43:2-7.

Verse 7 tells us, “Everything who is called by my name, whom I created for My Glory, whom I formed and made.

No matter how deep we probe into the motives of God. We will never arrive at a layer which is not love.

John Piper

God is good all the time. Yet, too many believers define that goodness by their circumstances rather than who God actually is. Human beings will always fail us, the world fails us. Our family and friends fail us. So why do we try so desperately to define God and relate God to a worldly image. God is so much bigger than any box we try to put Him in, or any circumstance that we could go through.

Even when we go through trauma and disappointment, God is in the middle of that and He is reigning supreme (Psalm 115:8).. All we have to do is reach out to Him and He will be there. He is orchestrating every step we make and holding us tightly to His will (Ephesians 1:11).

We should be standing in awe just at the thought that God cares enough for each of us that He is directing our footsteps. He wants to be the ‘good Shepard,’ we just have to accept and humble ourselves before His plan for us.

But what happens when life happens, things start to hit the fan, and life begins to crumble? Is God still good then? The answer is yes.

When you realize this, in that moment, perspective takes control. You can decide to hate Him or be angry at Him or pray without ceasing that your circumstances would change, or you can choose to have a heavenly perspective.

That means that you can look at your negative circumstances-the people yelling at you, the decisions you have made, the trauma and death that surround you and say, God, you created this for your glory. Help me identify what Your Glory looks like in this mess. Because this world is a mess.

Ask Him what He wants you to learn. How He wants you to respond. Who He wants you to live through this mess.

We have got to begin looking up instead of out. When we begin to glorify God, God sees Goodness though the mess.

He wants us to desire Him because He knows that when we have His mindset, when we are truly desiring Him. We can be peace-loving, kind, and filled with the joy of heaven.

Don’t allow your perspective to be selfish. we rarely go though trauma with our head looking up at God and not out at the physical answers and people. Maybe it’s time we began to look up.

If we shift our thoughts, our actions, and our mentality our perspectives will radically our lives.

God is Good. He truly wants us to experience His goodness. But in order to experience that – We must shift our perspective.

Dealing With Doubt

Do you ever struggle with doubt? You do if you’re honest.

The reality is that no one’s faith is perfect in this life. But, we can grow and become stronger today than we were yesterday.

I like to think of doubt as the gap between our current faith and perfect faith. One of my favorite Bible verses is Matt17:20

He said to them, “Because of your unbelief. For most certainly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there and it will move,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”

Sometimes we doubt our salvation; other times we doubt God’s love. Many times we will even doubt the reliability of the Bible, the existence of God, or the identity of Christ. Even John the Baptist doubted Jesus (Matthew 11:11), he doubted the very identity of Christ.

Here are a few principles to consider when dealing with doubt.

Let’s face it life is tough, every day we have to put our noses to the grindstone. And it’s easy to have doubts. If we’re not careful all of our faith flies out the window.

1. Have Metcy On Your Doubt

Jude 22 tells us to “have mercy on those who boubt” (including ourselves). It’s easy to judge, condemn, and look down on the doubters. And Lord knows I’m the hardest on myself. But to have mercy on those who doubt is to be there for them, and build them up.

Many times it isn’t just an overnight bout with doubt that ends after a good night’s sleep. Sometimes doubt can last a lifetime. It’s just our nature. It seems like we have to deal with the same doubts over and over again.

2. Realize doubt is often the birth pangs of a deeper faith.

Many people have faith in meditated through our parents who they trusted implicitly. As they become older, their faith is tested through trials, temptations, and suffering (Job; Luke. 8:5-15; Romans 5:3-4; James 1:3).

But it is often true that during our 20’s and 30’s. We start to reconsider whether those truths we have might be wrong in order to embrace our faith more deeply.

3. Be Ready To Live With Mystery

Sometimes we want all the answers. We want complete understanding before we commit to anything. That’s where the doubt comes in. If we read the Bible God has revealed so much to us, and there is much we can understand if we spend time in His Word. But there are secrets that belong to Him alone (Deuteronomy 29:29). We will never be able to comprehend how God created everything. But, luckily we can comprehend enough for us to rest in God when mystery arises.

4. Make The Main Things The Main Things

Paul told the Corinthians he delivered to them things ‘of first importance’ (1 Corinthians 15:3). He goes on to talk about the atoning death and vindicating resurrection of Jesus as being most central to faith.

So many of us doubt secondary issues like how and when God created the world or the details of Jesus’s return. There has been many issues about this legitimate disagreement for centuries. But, there has always been unity in the basic truths of who He is and what He did.

So, when you begin doubting what you were taught about all the secondary issues, don’t get to bent out of shape. And keep focusing on the important things.

5. Live According To The Faith You Still Have

Doubt is not unbelief . Doubt is the bridge that connects faith to perfect faith. And that bridge will stand until our death of Jesus’s return. When we go through a faith crisis, though, we don’t naturally see things this way. Doubt enters in and infects our lives on a conscious level, we may interpret it as ourright unbelief. Our brains don’t know how else to process it. We think we’re on an inevitable road to complete unbelief. We need to focus on the “heaven and hell issues.”

Unfortunately, since we think this way, and since others may treat us as if we have the plague, we begin to live as unbelievers. If sin were not the instigating problem before, it becomes the chronic problem now. It’s important for those struggling with doubt to not let thief doubt influence their lives and begin to living like unbelievers. It’s probably a good idea to repent and stay in fellowship with God.

6. Doubt Your Doubts

Why give your doubt a courtesy you don’t give your faith? Are our doubts so compelling that it can’t be questioned?

We have no problem being critical about our doubt, we need to make sure we are critical of our doubt as well. Doubt usually doesn’t offer up a better solution; it just nags at the one we already have. But, it important to be sure that the central truths of our faith will never put way our doubt.

7. Work Through The Sin In Your Life

When we focus on our sins, it helps us find a quick solution. I usually find that when I focus on turning away from my sins. My doubt goes away. But, obviously doubt is a more complicated

Personal sin is a faith-drainer. And disobedience to God will take a significant toll on your faith.

We’re all sinners, but some sins take a unique toll on our mind and worldview- especially when we attempt to justify them. The toll is not only moral, social, and physical; it also corrupts the mind. The mental paradigm we construct to make our sin acceptable with corrupt everything else.

In other ward, if there’s something you know you’re supposed to be doing and your not doing it, doubt will soon creep in, and your crisis of faith will be hard to overcome. It’s important to ask ourselves periodically is some deep rooted sin might be causing the doubt.

I have found that there are primarily two types of doubters. The First are walking away from God and believe they’re finding freedom. And the second, are walking away from faith and are deeply disturbed about it. The difference with the second is that they are always facing God, and crying with arms outstretched for Him to help. Thankfully, in most cases these doubters eventually return to their faith.

We always, to some degree, live in the land of doubt. But it’s possible that your particular land of doubt is still within the in the country of faith. Doubting your faith does not mean you don’t have faith. Jude 22 says we should have mercy on those who doubt, whether that doubt is in ourselves or others. We need to do so.

How To Use Spiritual Authority In Any Situation

Do you struggle with knowing how to use your spiritual authority for your finances, family, or body? Maybe these tips will help with that.

There is a story of a farmer who found an eagle egg and brought it home to his chicken coop. When the egg hatched, the young eagle only saw chickens around him without knowing what he truly was, you simply mimicked what we saw around him. He’s trash and patch and blue short distances. He believed he was a chicken, therefore, he acted like a chicken.

Many people are living in the same way -trapped in a chicken mentality. They have received salvation, but stop short and living life abundantly as God intended them. They want to live and prosperity, health, protection, and peace, but they stop short and achieving victory in those areas for one reason -they don’t know how to use their authority.

Luke 10:19 says, “Look, I have given you authority over our power of the enemy.“ Jesus has given you authority, but you must take it and use it.

We need to be ready to fly the coop and soar like an eagle. Here are some ways you can use your spiritual authority in any situation and clean victory once and for all.

1. Use your authority for physical protection

“ no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling.” Psalm 91:10

Our salvation includes more than just a guarantee of going to heaven -that’s just the beginning. Salvation is a big word. In the Greek language, it literally means deliverance, safety, preservation, material and temporal deliverance from danger, pardon, restoration, healing, wholeness and soundness.

This means you don’t have to be afraid of anything harming you or your children physically.

Physical protection for you and your family is a Covenant right. Peace, safety, and covering over Clamity, disaster, or harm in any kind belongs to you.

It is not God’s will that people go and shoot up our children’s school‘s. It is not God‘s, will that we or our children be filled with sickness and disease or suffer injuries. It is not God‘s will, but we suffer under any part of the curse, but the devil has come to kill and destroy, he’s looking for a loophole -A way to break the circle of protection that encompasses us.

It is God’s will to stop the enemy and rule and reign over him.

We live in a dangerous world, so taking your authority for protection, should be done daily. It doesn’t take long. Speak Psalm 91 over your family as you Had to work or run errands, plead the blood of Jesus first thing in the morning when you’re awake. As you make it part of your daily routine, it will become second nature to you.

Take authority by saying something similar to:

You listen to me, kingdom of darkness: It is written that I am seated at my Father’s right hand far above you (Ephesians 1:18-23) and I have overcome you by the blood of the lamb, and the word of my testimony (Revelation 12-11). So here is the word of my testimony, and here is who you cannot go near today. I draw the blood around (name you family members), and I plead the blood of Jesus over myself too. Stay away from my Satan, you stay away from the good works I’walk in. You stay away from my church, my neighborhood, my home, and every vehicle and every building I’m going to. I’ll draw a line ofJesus, his blood around them.

When you get into your car or any other transportation, you can say something like:

Father God, I ask that you put warring angels around this vehicle. Bumper to bumper, side to side, top to bottom, every part working and non-working, no one or nothing will bump this car, and we will bump into no one or nothing. We will get to where we’re going without incident.

You have the name of Jesus and the authority of Jesus, and we overcome Satan by the blood of the Lame and the word of your testimony (Revelation 12:11).

2. Use your authority to drive out sickness Use your authority to drive out sickness

“No evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your dwelling.” Psalm 91:10

You have the authority over sickness and disease, every cold, flu, backache, cancer, heart disease -all of it. You have the authority through Christ Jesus.

So, why do we sometimes face these challenges? It’s simple

God is not going to override your authority. He gave Adam authority, and He didn’t override Adams decision to relinquish it to Satan. he has given us the same authority in the earth, and He has given you a way to victory every situation in His Word.

But He won’t override your authority. He will let you die sick because you chose to do so. You would have to ignore every healing scripture in the Bible, and all that Jesus bought for you when He bore your sickness and carry your diseases, But you have the authority to go ahead and die. God will not stop you.

So, if you’re talking about the symptoms and sickness, you are relinquishing your authority to Satan as Adam did in the garden of Eden. That won’t get results.

Charles Capps used to say, “Don’t call the dog if you want the cat. If you want the dog, you don’t step out on the front porch and say “Here cat.” You say, Here, dog.” When you do, you’re taking authority over that dog, and that old dog just comes right up to you, wagging his tail.”

Don’t call the dog if you want the cat, and don’t call for sickness and disease if you want to be healed. Use your authority and command your body to be healed in the Name of Jesus.

If you have ever watched a healing service, the person at the alter lays hands on the sick, and in a loud authorities voice calls for the unclean spirit to take its hands off of God’s property in the Name of Jesus and to release the child of God.

That same authority is on the inside of you right now. You don’t have to be a preacher, teacher, an evangelist. you just have to take authority over what is God’s. You can use their authority to heal yourself, and others -and you should.

When you take authority over your body, say something like:

“Body, I command you to align with the will of God. I review every symptom in my body right now, in Jesus Name. Be healed, and made whole from the top of my head to the soles of my feet. I receive my healing! I am healed.”

3. Use your authority to cast out demons

“They will cast out demons in my name.” Mark 16:17

Demonic activity isn’t something you’re here preach about how many Sunday mornings, but it exists. I met a person long ago that seemed pleasant. I was called to someone’s house to help de-escalate a situation that a young couple who is going through. When I arrived, all I could hear was screaming and yelling. As I attempted to sit down, with this couple. I caught a glimpse of the persons eyes, all I saw was evil. It was the first person I’ve ever met that was controlled by a demon. I have to say I was really uneasy. My first reaction was to make an excuse and get the heck out of there. But that’s not what I did. I stayed and had a D escalate the situation as soon as I did I left. When I was driving home, i was convicted, that was not God‘s will. He sent me not just de-escalate the situation. But you change a life. I vowed that next time I came upon a situation I would take spiritual authority over the situation. We might not see demonic activity much in America, but it’s every where. And it should not be tolerated.

Use the Name of Jesus. Plead the blood of Jesus. Dry demons, and any demonic activity out of your home, out of your body, out of your life, and out of your neighborhood you are cars and anything else they try to occupy. Never been afraid of them you have authority, and they know it.

Forget about what others think of you. Being worried about what others think of you as a form of fear, and if your pray regularly people already think you’re crazy. If the devil can get you to back off, he will try to destroy what yours and blame it all on God.

4. Use your authority for finances

“He disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross.“ Colossians 2:15

If you’ve ever experienced the stress that comes from financial pressure, you know how difficult it is when you are so strapped, you don’t have enough money to pay your bills.

There are things that can block, financial blessing, such as being in unforgiveness, failing to walk in love, failing to tithe or sow, or operating without integrity. Those things should be checked first. But if everything is in line with the Word of God, you may be facing an attack from the devil on your finances. He comes to Steal, kill and destroy. He does not want you blessed.

Jesus reduced principalities and power to nothing. He took away the Devil’s power to dominate us in any way – including in the realm of our finances. Our job is to act on this truth. As long as we act like the devil has power over our finances, he will. But if you will believe in your heart and confess with your mouth what God’s Word says about finances, you’ll be taking authority, and you’ll get what you need.

So, when you’re facing an attack of the enemy on your finances take your place of authority. “Satan, take your hands off my money and off my property! All that’s mine in the kingdom of God to come into my hands. I declare the blessing of the Lord, and the shield of grace around all that mine.”

When you learn how to use your spiritual authority in any situation, nothing will be impossible. You will be operating in the position of God’s will that He intended from the beginning. God did not create you to be a victim. He made you to win.

Life Without God

God has given us our will to do whatever we want on this earth. Nevertheless, Proverbs 3:5-6 in the Bible says, “ Preston board with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways, submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”

Here, the Bible progress with surrender, our will to God, so that he graciously directs our paths.

  • The Bible talks about a jailer who didn’t know Jesus and was assigned to care of Paul and Silas who had been preaching and casting out demons.
  • In the prison something happened

“But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God and the prisoners we’re listening to them. Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison with shaken; And immediately all the doors were open and everyone chained were loosed, And the keeper of the prison, awakening for sleep, and seeing, in prison doors open, supposing the prisoners had fled, drew his sowed and was about to kill himself. But Paul called with a loud voice, saying, “Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.” Then he called for a light, ran in and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house. And he took them the same hours of the night and washed their stripes. And immediately he and all his family were baptized. Now, when he brought them into his house, he set food before them; and he rejoiced, having believed in God with all his household.” Acts 16:25-34

  • Because of Paul and Silas prayer and hymns, it was a great earthquake, which shook the prison foundation, and all the doors were open and everyone chains were loose God shut them loose.
  • When the jailer saw what had happened, he was shocked and terrified, so he decided to kill himself, but Paul shouted at him to stop.
  • The danger of living without Christ is that when something terrible happens when your life, you may not know what to do because you have no savior or comforter.
  • The jailer after seeing the wonderful things which happened said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
  • The danger of living, without Jesus, in fact, is that your name is not written in the Book of Life, and you will be cast into awake in fire. Revelation 20:15 says “ Anyone who’s name is not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.”
  • Living, without Jesus, is very dangerous, because of what the Bible described as the lake of fire. The unbeliever may not see anything dangerous in his lifetime, but the future is dangerous.

When you believe in Jesus, Christ, you are saved from the danger of the future death and destination will be heaven, and not the Lake of fire. If you do not accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, repent and confess it may be late.
