Yesterday I read Kenneth E Hagin's book The Believer's Authority. WOW what a great book, filled with revelation from the Word.
Imagine that we can walk in the same Authority that Jesus did when he walked the earth 2000 years ago. When Paul writes to the believers in Ephesus, he tells them that we are seated with Christ (the Anointed One and His anointing) in the heavenly realms and that Christ himself is seated on the right hand of the Father in heaven.
When studying history, we see that the right hand of the throne was the position of delegated authority in a Kingdom. God the Father has delegated his Authority to Jesus and by seating us with him in the heavenly realms, he has delegated that same Authority to us as believers.
If we would simply grasp this simple, yet profound fact, our lives would change for all eternity. I can influence my situation and people within my reach by acting on the Authority delegated to me through Jesus. I can take command of a situation in the spirit and know that the situation will change accordingly because the devil trembles when he hears the Name of Jesus used in Authority.
We are supposed to influence our society, community and surroundings by walking in the Authority given to us.
Read the Word, meditate on the Word, eat the Word, digest the Word, get intimate with the Word - then the Word becomes like an nondetachable part of your body. That is when the revelation comes alive in you and you will then walk in that God given Authority and begin changing the world.
