JESUS’ AUTHORITY

JESUS’ AUTHORITY

Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth”. Matthew  28:18

Jesus expressed His new status, after He rose from dead.

ALL AUTHORITY IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH.

All authority.

Authority over creation and the created.

Authority over principalities and powers.

Authority over Satan and his kingdom.

Authority over the opressors and the opressed.

Before He declared that All Authority has been given on to Him. While He was here on earth

Jesus commanded the sea, the winds –

"He awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" The wind ceased, and there was a great calm. - Mark  4:39".

He commanded sicknesses, illnesses –

When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying,"Son of David, have mercy on us!"

And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?"

They said to Him, "Yes, Lord."

Then He touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith let it be to you."  And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, saying, "See that no one knows it." - Matt 9:27-31

He commanded demon –

‘When He had come to the other side, to the country of the Gergesenes, there met Him two demon-possessed men, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one could pass that way. And suddenly they cried out, saying, "What have we to do with You, Jesus, You Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?"

Now a good way off from them there was a herd of many swine feeding. 31 So the demons begged Him, saying, "If You cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of swine."

And He said to them, "Go." So when they had come out, they went into the herd of swine. And suddenly the whole herd of swine ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and perished in the water.’- Matt 8:28-32

He commanded even death to release and the dead to rise –

When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!" He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Free him, and let him go."(John  11:43,44.)'

Too numerous to count and they all obeyed Him. 

Imagine now that He has all authorities. Consider what the new level of authority will be.

You only need Him in your life and you have access to this authority. Everything needing correction in your life will start obeying the command from Him and you shall be free at last.

What is it that has been exercising authority over your life? Invite the greater authority in and they will all take their bow and let you be.

What are you waiting for?

Remember He says "I AM WITH YOU TILL THE END OF THE WORLD".
