The Believer's Authority

" And I will give unto thee the keys of the
kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever
thou shalt bind [forbid] on earth shall be
bound [forbidden] in heaven: and what
soever thou shalt loose [allow] on earth
shall be loosed [allowed] in heaven"
Matthew 16:19

Many times wrong thinking opens the door
to the devil into Christian's lives.

They might assume God allows sickness to
come to them. But it isn't God who allows
it, it's the Christians themselves that allow
the devil to do it. It is a deception the devil
has been using from the beginning and it
has worked so he keeps on using it.

We, as believers, don't use the authority
that Jesus gave us in Matthew 16:19. Here
Jesus was talking to Peter just after he had
received the revelation that Jesus is the
Christ, the Son of the Living God.

Jesus has all authority. But as the Head of
the Church, He has given us that same
authority that He has.

God expects us to resist the devil and take
authority over him using the name of Jesus.
We are to stand steadfast in faith and not
give place to the devil. Christians!!!!!! Use
your God-given authority!
