Many believers are trying to win battles that have already been won. They pray, fast, and even weep—yet live as victims of fear, delay, and bondage. The problem is not God’s power; it is a lack of spiritual enforcement. Victory in Christ must be enforced through spiritual authority.

Jesus has given us authority—not to admire, but to exercise. Authority does not beg; it commands. It doesn’t negotiate; it enforces. You must rise and take your place in the spirit, understanding that your seat is not on earth, but in Christ. Ephesians 2:6: “And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”

This is not a religious phrase—it is a legal position. In Christ, you are far above all principality and power. You do not beg the devil; you resist him. You do not tolerate oppression; you cast it out. Authority works when you understand your location in Christ.

Authority is exercised through words. Jesus spoke to the storm. Peter spoke to the crippled man. Paul commanded devils to flee. Authority does not whisper in fear—it speaks with boldness, backed by revelation. Acts 3:6: “Then 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.”

What do you have? You have the name. You have the Word. You have the blood. You have the Spirit. But if you do not use them, they will not produce results. God has already done His part—He gave you power. Now, it’s your turn to tread.

THINGS TO NOTE

1. Authority is a gift from Christ, not something you earn.
2. Your authority is effective only when exercised.
3. You are seated in Christ, not fighting from the ground.
4. Speaking boldly in the name of Jesus activates spiritual authority.
5. Fear cancels the effect of authority—boldness enforces it.
6. Until you speak, nothing changes.
