'Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.' - Acts 3 vs 6
Greetings dearly beloved of GOD in CHRIST JESUS. I Trust GOD that this content which you are about to read will radically stir up your faith to begin to walk in supernatural authority which is already yours in CHRIST. AMEN. Okay let's go.
It is very important that we note that the Apostle Peter did not pray for this man to walk. No! He ordered Him to walk. Waow! Now, in His words, we find the secret to that display of Power which He wrought - He said, "such as I have", that means, there was something He had, and that thing was the reason why He could order the lame man and have Him walk. What was that thing that the Apostle Peter had? Authority. He had authority, and it was the LORD JESUS who gave them that authority. Let's see this;
'And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.' - Matthew 10 vs 7 - 8 {KING JAMES VERSION}
The LORD gave them authority to Heal the sick, HE asked them to do it, hence they had authority over sicknesses and diseases and over all devils, and even over death - because HE said to them, raise the dead! Hallelujah! So the Apostle Peter knew that He had something, He knew that He had authority over sicknesses, He was conscious of it, hence, He exercised that authority, and He had the result of it. - Selah
Dearly Beloved, what about us today, have we got that same authority from the LORD? Has the LORD also given to us authority over sicknesses and diseases and infirmities and over all devils, and over death, as HE gave to the first Apostles? Let's take a look at some stuffs now;
'And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.' - Mark 16 vs 17 - 18 {KING JAMES VERSION}
The LORD said, these signs as listed in the passages shall follow those that believe. That includes you and I, and any one who believes in CHRIST in any generation. - Selah
'Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.' - John 14 vs 12 {KJV}
Again, we see the LORD given authority to command the supernatural not only to the first Apostles, but unto all who believes in HIM - HE said, He that believeth on me. The word 'He' speaks of 'anybody'. - Selah
Dearly Beloved, we have authority in CHRIST. We have been given authority to heal the sick, to cast out devils, to raise the dead, and to do greater miracles than what the LORD did while HE was on earth. Just like the Apostle Peter, He was conscious of it, He walked with the consciousness of His authority in CHRIST over sicknesses, He knew it, that's why He boldly said to the man, I have something to give to you - He said, "such as I have give I thee." He knew that He had something. - Think about it. This is the attitude we must put on. We must first know and understand that we have been given authority by the LORD over sicknesses, diseases, infirmities, all devils, and death, even as I have explained it to you, we must first know it, then we believe it, then we trust it, trusting that it is true that we have received such authority from the LORD, then we consciously walk in it, carrying that consciousness everywhere we go, working miracles to the glory of the Name of GOD, even JESUS. Hallelujah!
Remember, the Apostle Peter did not pray to GOD about the sickness for the man to be healed, no! What did He do? He ordered the man to be healed - He said, "rise up and walk". That is it. We don't Pray to GOD about the sickness, no! Instead, we order the sick to be healed! We order the sickness to leave men! We don't pray to GOD for someone to be free from the possession of an evil spirit, no! Instead, we cast out devils! That's the Instruction the LORD gave to us, that's how the Authority works, by orders! The LORD said in the verse where we read above, Mark 16 vs 18, "in my name, they shall cast out devils". We cast out the devil, we don't pray to GOD for the devil to come out of the person, rather, we order the devil out, and it comes out! - Selah
"Authority is exercised by command not by plea. Didn't you hear what it's Called? Authority!"
Since the LORD is our role model, let's see how HE did it. Because you see, the LORD modeled for us in HIS walk on earth, everything HE expects of us. So let's see how the LORD exercised this authority HE has given to us, so that we can learn how to use it ourselves. Remember, every soldier is taught how to use the ammunition by old soldiers who have been there before them. - Selah
'But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
And he arose, and departed to his house.' - Matthew 9 vs 6 - 7 {KING JAMES VERSION}
By a command, Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
Take note.
'And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.
So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.
And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.' - Matthew 8 vs 30 - 32 {KING JAMES VERSION}
By a command, Go.
Repleted all over the Four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John), you will find how the LORD ordered sicknesses and diseases and infirmities and devils out of men, and they came out. HE even ordered death to loose grip off men, and the men came back to life. Glorious! Glory to GOD.
So amazing and refreshing to behold how the LORD exercised authority over every circumstance in the earth. HE modeled for us and to us how we too should walk in Authority (which HE has given to us who believe in HIM). Hallelujah!
Dearly Beloved, I trust GOD that you are inspired by what you have now read. As you have being now enlightened, go and do likewise!
GOD is with you.
