who is the source of such authority to whom is it given when and how could we
use such authority how you can use this Authority by reading the Word of God
living the world with the word in your daily life however the good news is that
Jesus has provided each one of us with spiritual power have you ever used this
authority in your life you will be asked one day hello dear brothers and sisters
this is Abboud and today we'll be continuing our discussions about how to
use the authority of God let's come together and pray
dear father in heaven we thank you today for the sunshine for everything that you
have given us today we thank you and we come to you we ask you that you humble
ourselves that we listen to your word to change us to mold us I pray also for my
brothers and sisters in Jesus name Amen
we can use the authority of God to overcome the trials of life for example
once we had a brother in our church who had a manager who used to always bother
him he used to be unjust to him and he had no option and you know what
he did he went on on his knees and he believed in Psalm 91 the words of the
Bible and in a week's time the manager was found to be doing illegal stuff at
work he was fired and psalm 91 words reads exactly as follows
whoever dwells in the shelter of the most high will rest in the shadow of the
Almighty I will say of the Lord he is my refuge
and my fortress my god in whom I trusted if you believe in the word of God even
if you have sometimes weak faith God will help you
the second point is we can use the authority of God to win over sin before
it begins there are times in our lives when we feel depressed we feel sorry for
ourselves we feel we can't forgive someone but you know dear brothers and
sisters this is the beginning of sin what's happening is that the evil spirit
is coming to your thoughts and it's going to control you not forgiving
someone is a sin now when this emotional moments happen to you you need to come
in prayer and you need to do like this and you have to mention the name of the
evil spirit that's controlling you for example I pray and you get a name the
spirit I pray for the spirit of unforgiveness I pray for the spirit of
jealousy I pray for the spirit of grumble --mess to leave now in the name
of Jesus amen and when you mention Jesus name
his name has power and guess what the evil spirit leaves you immediately
however if you are Frank and you have some sin inside if you do not come clean to god
if you haven't really clean yourself and you have doubts about his well you're
gonna have issues with yourself so what's gonna happen the evil spirit is
gonna come back to you and you're gonna have problems so what do you need to do
you have to take a different situation do what Peter did so you have to leave
your position Peter disowned Jesus however later on he
had realized what he had done so we look at the Scriptures together in Matthew 26
verses 75 then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken before through the
rooster crows you will disown me three times and he went outside and wept
bitterly Peter sent but Peter changed his
position petered disowned jesus but Peter walked cried bitterly he changed
what he was doing and he was able finally to overcome his sin and he was a
different man ever again he was changed completely
we have an awesome god you know brothers and sisters he has given us authority to
overcome temptation to overcome sin before it begins let's believe in Jesus
believe in him pray don't comment doubts you can doubt you have to believe what
is impossible with men is possible with God
let's bow pray
thank you God for your words thank you that you've given us your son Jesus to
change us I pray for my brothers and sisters that you change their heart that
you give them strong faith in the Bible in his word amen
