Have you ever listened to message that left you in tears? A message that made u begin to make
new resolutions? That was the kind of message that people heard from Jesus. That
message was immediately accompanied by a miraculous happening. It was filled
with a great authority. It was the same authority he spoke with that he cast
out devil. Those who saw what had happened exclaimed, “What is this teaching? With
authority and power he gives orders to evil spirits and they come out!” (Luke
4:36). Their observation was accurate because Jesus’ teaching was not ordinary.
It was not the kind of teaching those people were used to hearing. It was a new
form of teaching that created a new impact. It was the authority behind the
message that interested the people the most. Jesus’ teaching carried the
authority of God’s spirit within it. It had a commanding force. It was a kind
of message that forced itself into people’s hearts; difficult to resist.
God’s children carry authority within them. Their words are
words of authority. Their actions were full of power. Their prayers are full of
strength. If you are a child of God then there is authority accompanying you. This
is not one of those motivational teaching that merely makes you feel good. I am
telling you the truth, Jesus has already give you great authority. What you
need to do is begin to use your authority. Jesus knew the authority he had and
applied it. Use your authority to pray; use your authority to preach the word;
use your authority to bind devil. It is when you use your authority that there
will be results.
