Born to Reign - Using Our God Given Authority Part 2

God has given his church, true believers the authority to stand against the forces of darkness, the church is not called to speak about the problem but to speak to the problem in order to create change. Our fight is not against flesh and blood but against rulers of darkness who seek to devour those who will let themselves be devoured. Many don't believe in God or in hell but the reality is that once we die we will enter a spiritual world where we will either spend eternity with God or apart from him in hell. While we are on earth Jesus tells us that as true believer we are given power to come against the forces of darkness at work in this world. We fight these force with the authority God has given us through prayer as intercessors. Prov 18:21 tells us that death and life is in the power of the tongue, what we confess and what we pray will become part of our reality. Not only can we pray and confess blessing and cursing's in our live but in the live of others so we have to be carful paying attention to the things we confess. As children of God we are called to overcome evil with good and we do so with the authority God has given us to come against the forces of darkness. As believers we must see ourselves in a different light, 1 Pet 2:9 tells us that we are a chosen race, a holy nation, a royal priest hood called to represent Jesus and to continue the work he has started when he came to earth. We must realize the authority we have received in Christ and that we are called to use this power in order to continue Jesus work.
