![]() ![]() You can use your God-given authority by speaking His Word against the circumstances of life. You will rise to an understanding of God’s Word that will set you free from the circumstances of life! When you understand authority as the Bible sets it forth, you will rise to a new level of faith. If you will teach My people to understand authority as this man understood authority, they will operate in the same kind of faith.” The Lord said, “He was a military man who understood authority because he was under authority. I asked the Lord, “Why did the centurion have that kind of faith even though he was not included in the Covenant?” Now, You just speak the word and my servant shall be healed.” I have soldiers under me, and when I tell them to come or go, they do it. The centurion said to Jesus, “You don’t have to walk to my house, for I’m a man under authority and I know how authority works. He either had to walk or ride a donkey, and if you’ve ever been on one of those donkeys, you know that you would rather walk! In those days, Jesus couldn’t catch a plane or a train.

The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. Let’s begin with Matthew 8:5-10 and use this as a launching point into authority: “And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, and saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. When Adam bowed his knee to Satan, he lost his spiritual authority. He possessed abilities beyond our comprehension, yet he failed because he broke God’s Word. Man was created in God’s likeness to have fellowship with Deity. Neither have they accepted the authority that is rightfully theirs because of being born on earth. The people of the world have not yet seen the authority given them through Jesus Christ. ![]() And yet, Jesus has given every believer all the authority in the world!
