A strong understanding of spiritual authority is vital to building up your faith when casting out demons, healing the sick, and exercising your authority over the powers of darkness.
When we have been given authority to cast out demons, however rather we pray that God brings the devil out rather, we are fundamentally requesting that God accomplish something that He gave US the tools to do ourselves! Jesus instructed US to cast out demons! No place in the Book of scriptures does it instruct us to request that God cast out demons!
Mark 13:34, "For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch."
How authority works
Authority doesn't beg; authority doesn't ask; authority orders! We are not told to request that God cast out demons, we are told to do it without anyone's help! We are not told to ask demons to turn out, we are told to CAST them out!
Matthew 8:8-9, 13, "The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it... And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour."
Authority is exercised through our spoken word. The power of life and death are in the spoken word: proverbs 18:21, "life and death are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof

Jesus' own authority
One thing that made it clear that Jesus was the son of God, is because He exercised authority that no one else has ever accessed in history!
He cast out demons using His authority: Mark 1:27, "And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him."
He cast out demons with His spoken word: Matthew 8:16, "When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word..."
He healed the sick with His spoken word
Luke 7:7, "Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed." Also John 5:8, "Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk."
Jesus has been given power over everything: Matthew 28:18, "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth."

Authority to heal
Jesus said to, "heal the sick"! Matthew 10:8, Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give." I believe it's fascinating how Jesus didn't instruct us to ask and request that God heal the sick, He instructed US to heal the sick!
I have never observed where Jesus implored, "Father, please heal this individual!" Rather, we see that Jesus heal individuals with His spoken Word! In John 5:8, Jesus told the man to, "...Rise, take up thy bed, and walk."
The early church heal individuals in this same way.In Acts 3:6, "...Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk."
Notice in Luke 9:1 that He not just gave His disciples authority over all demons , yet in addition to heal diseases: "He gathered his twelve disciples, and gave them power and authority over powers ,demons , and to heal diseases."
Authority is exercised when there is a RIGHT to exercise it. They weren't supplicating and requesting that God heal individuals, they had the authority to heal , and they were doing it with a spoken word, similarly as Jesus did!
I need to clearly note that I'm not saying that prayers can't heal individuals... since it can (James 5:14-15)... I'm trying to say that we are instructed to heal the sick using the authority that Jesus gave us! I have seen and known about numerous healings that occurred through prayers, so I'm not saying not to pray , or that prayers doesn't work. I'm essentially saying that we have authority over sickness, and along these lines we can practice our authority to realize healing in someone else's life!
I additionally believe it's intriguing how Mark 16:17-18 reveals to us that healing can get through the laying on of hands:"And these signs shall follow them that believe... they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
a very interesting subject, thank you Iksilva ..

When we understand how strongly we have been spiritually fortified add children of God, it will give us the understanding that we are greater than trials and tribulations with the help of our Father. It will build our faith continuously
Jesus made the promise to give us this power and authority in Matthew 16:18 when he said to Peter: "The gates of Hades will not be able to withstand or withhold the advancing church." Jesus was going to build his church. The church was going to advance. The gates of Hades could not withstand it.
Jesus is saying that he who is in us is greater than he who is in the world. His power is greater than the power of the enemy. When there is a head-on conflict between the power of the enemy and the power of God, the power of the enemy will lose every time.
How do we then live and walk in this power and authority? We understand from our last session that the world we live in has two realms—the natural and the spiritual. We need to be able to know how to live in this spiritual realm in a way that affects the natural realm. Instead of the spiritual realm only affecting me, I need to be living in a way that affects the spiritual realm, which in turn affects the natural realm.
If men are to serve God, subjection to authority is an absolute necessity.
Obedience transcends what we do. David therefore stopped his hand from touching the "anointed of Jehovah"
To be filled with Christ is to be full of obedience.

As a christain, when you have the spirit of God, you will have power over serpents and demons. God presence will be in you. But the only way for you to have such spirit is for yoiu to be saved.
This is as great and wonderful message. Authority doesn't beg; authority doesn't ask; authority orders! We are not told to request that God cast out demons, we are told to do it without anyone's help! We are not told to ask demons to turn out, we are told to CAST them out.

The Spirit of God was on David, that why he was able to kill Goliath, that same spirit made him King over Isreal..
Obtain Spiritual Autority.
You must wear the Sure Armour of God.
Ephesians 6:13 "Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
You must believe the Word of God.
Mark 11:23" For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith."
You must Know it God's plan...
Jeremiah 1:5 " Before I formed thee in the belly a I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations."

Nuestra autoridad espiritual esta en Cristo and vivimos con El somos mas que vencederos y tendriamos una autoridad grande en Cristo Jesus.
Gracias por compartir
When someone is exercising his or her authority in Christ, he or she is invariably praying to God. However, such a person is not crying of helplessness or doubtfulness, but with a full assurance that which he or she has asked (commanded) with authority he or she will materialise.
Thanks for sharing @iksilva.
Kind regards.
Yes, we have the authority, it has already been given to us, only that folks do not understand what they carry on the inside, fear of the unknown is killing too many on their inside....... I hae reason to believe that power is in the movement of the tongue...... It depends so much on how we use it. The name of Jesus is too much a powerful name to quench any warfare that comes our way. Nice post...... Good work iKsilva....
Nice one
Very detailed article. God bless you for sharing.
Jesus made the guarantee to give us this power and specialist in Matthew 16:18 when he said to Peter: "The entryways of Hades won't have the capacity to withstand or withhold the propelling church." Jesus would construct his congregation. The congregation would progress. The entryways of Hades couldn't withstand it.
Jesus is stating that he who is in us is more noteworthy than he who is on the planet. His energy is more prominent than the energy of the adversary. At the point when there is a head-on struggle between the energy of the adversary and the energy of God, the energy of the foe will lose inevitably.
How would we at that point live and stroll in this power and specialist? We comprehend from our last session that the world we live in has two domains—the regular and the otherworldly. We should have the capacity to know how to live in this profound domain in a way that influences the regular domain. Rather than the otherworldly domain just influencing me, I should live in a way that influences the profound domain, which thusly influences the regular realm.Yes, we have the expert, it has just been given to us, just that people don't comprehend what they bear within, dread of the obscure is murdering excessively numerous on their inside....... I hae motivation to trust that power is in the development of the tongue...... It depends such a great amount on how we utilize it. The name of Jesus is excessively an intense name to extinguish any fighting that comes our direction. Decent post...... Great work iKsilva....
