25-198 Your Spiritual Authority

TODAY’S FOCUS IS: Standing in the authority Jesus gave you

Let’s be clear—this world is a battlefield. But too many believers are walking around like civilians when they’ve been commissioned as soldiers. Worse, they’re living like victims when they’ve been given authority. If you’re in Christ, you don’t fight for victory—you fight from it. And today, we’re reclaiming what Jesus already handed you.


Our springboard for today’s discussion is:
“Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.”Luke 10:19 (ESV)


Jesus didn’t just defeat the powers of darkness—He delegated His authority to you. That means when you pray, you don’t whisper in hope—you declare in confidence. When the enemy comes against your family, you don’t hide—you stand and speak with the authority of a son or daughter of God.

Spiritual authority isn’t arrogance. It’s alignment. It’s standing in agreement with what Heaven has already declared. It’s knowing that when Jesus said “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me,” and then told us to “go,” He meant it.

You have authority over fear, over temptation, over lies, over generational strongholds—not because of who you are, but because of who lives in you.

The enemy wants you passive. He wants you silent. Because a believer who doesn’t know their authority is no threat.

But a believer who knows they’ve been seated with Christ? That’s dangerous. That’s world-shaking.


Question of the Day:
Are you walking in the spiritual authority Christ gave you—or living as if you’re powerless?

Mini Call to Action:
Today, pray out loud over one area of your life where you’ve felt defeated. Speak the truth of Luke 10:19 and take your ground back.


Let’s Pray:
Jesus, thank You for giving me spiritual authority. Forgive me for living beneath what You paid for. Teach me to speak, pray, and live like someone who carries Heaven’s authority. In Your name, amen.


Let’s Get To Work!
The enemy doesn’t fear your strength. He fears your authority. Step into it.
