Born to Reign - Using Our God Given Authority Part 1

Jesus mission was to come to earth and become the mediator between mankind and God in order to reconcile us with God. By becoming one with Jesus through salvation and through obedience to the leading of the Holy Spirit we are reconciled with God as his children and are given the power and authority of the name of Jesus at our disposal. 1 Pet 9-10 tells us that becoming sons and daughters of God elevates us, we are a holy nation a royal priesthood called out of darkness to live in his marvelous light. Salvation provides grace empowerment to live a holy life that reflects the nature of God and equips us with the power, with authority to change our lives and the world around us. As true believers, as lights in this world we carry the authority of Jesus name in us and through prayer and faith we hold back the forces of darkness from taking over this world. Life and death, light and darkness is in the power of the tongue we have the power through prayer and confession we have been given the power to bind and loose to stop the power of darkness who are at work to hinder the work of God. We are called to be ambassadors for Jesus, call to continue the work he started and intersession through prayer is a big part of the work we are called to do. We are to come to God in prayer knowing the authority that has been given to us through salvation standing in the gap for those around us. We are called to speak to mountains to come against impossible problems through prayer and change situation not only in our lives but in the lives of others. This power and authority comes to us through the baptism of the Holy Spirit who equips us to accomplish the works God has called us to do in this world.
