Seeking Him First: Your Authority

Your Authority

Jesus said: "Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you." (Luke 10:19). Get a hold of this: you have been given delegated authority over the devil and his demons. They are under your feet. So you have the God given right to command them to take their hands off of your children (and your spouse and your friends). In fact Verse 20 reveals to us that these spirits are subject to us! Use your authority!!! ---Dan Downey
