bring Jesus joy by walking in authority the bible says Jesus was exuberantly joyful
see god is a joyful god according to first timothy chapter 1 verse 11 God rejoices in
his works according to psalm 104 31 god also rejoices when a person gets saved we know the
gospel of Luke chapter 15. god rejoices over jerusalem but there is one thing that gives jesus
joy and that is when he sees babes battle when he sees lambs walk in authority when
he sees the 70 walk in their assignment and they begin to cast out devils they begin to command
they begin to decree and declare for those of you coming to our church maybe for the first time or
the first few times and you're like man why do they spend time um speaking to the situation
speaking to the sickness like it's a real thing because see authority declares
authority speaks authority doesn't beg authority doesn't plead the police officer doesn't say
please i beg you i implore you by the name of the police department of pasco could you roll
down your window and then just give me a license if you want to if you don't want to i understand
license and registration there is authority come out somebody now somebody's been a police officer
yeah there is an authority and he doesn't beg he tells he tells it the way it is now he's a human
authority you are a spiritual authority that's why you will not understand these prayers that we pray
until you understand the authority you have he says if you have faith you will speak to
the mountain not ask the mountain not plead with the mountain not bargain with the mountain not
make deals with the devil but you will command why because authority changes your voice tone
it changes your attitude it changes your approach you become a lion and the devil becomes a snake
not the other way around you're not a little sheep and the devil is a wolf you're not a lamb and the
devil is a lion you are a lion and the devil is a snake he's biting the dust and you are trampling
over him somebody give god some praise somebody give god some praise hallelujah hallelujah
god rejoices jesus rejoices when you walk in authority you want to put a smile on jesus's
face rise up in your authority you want to put a smile in god's heart step into your divine
authority stop playing a victim stop walking around like a spineless weak snowflake christian
realize who you are in jesus christ stop giving devil more credit than he already has gotten over
your life he's been defeated he's been disarmed he's been put under your feet and jesus says
i give you authority now what i love about this is that in this verse is the only time
i see in the gospels where jesus gives authority and after that no assignment
every time he gave authority to disciples he always told them go cast out demons and here
he gave them authority and no assignment because he gave them authority for life
this authority is to live this authority is for everyday life as a mother everyday life as a
father everyday life as a businessman everyday life as a student jesus is giving authority for
you to live as a person it's not you're not on duty and off duty you are the political police
officer spiritually all the time when you sleep you have authority when you're taking a shower
you have authority when you wake up at night you have authority when you go in your car in the
morning you have authority when you work you have authority you carry that you're never off duty
he gives you authority because somebody say amen you give jesus joy you give jesus joy
when he looks at us casting out demons when he looks at us commanding those mountains when he
looks at us walking you know proud as believers in his the power of his name he rejoices he smiles
says that's that's right devil you take that that's my babes over there crushing your kingdom
that's my babes over there destroying your words that's my lambs over there in the eyes of the man
but devil you know they're not lambs they're fierce lions they might be young but they are
fierce they are bold they are courageous they are powerful that's my boy over there he puts a smile
on jesus's face when you walk in your authority somebody give god some praise
