Authorized But Now Activated - Pastor Stephen Chandler

matthew chapter nine matthew chapter nine matthew chapter nine matthew chapter nine matthew chapter nine verse five preach a quick message called authorized but now activated authorized but now activated some of us have been authorized to walk in a power that we have not been active in let me say that again some of us as a people of god have been authorized to walk in a power that we have not been active in what i've discovered is the power you have access to is not as important as the power you are active in and i don't just want to have it i want to be able to use it matthew chapter nine verse five it says this you with me bwi because now when jesus had entered capernaum a certain came to him pleading with him saying lord my servant is lying at home paralyzed dreadfully tormented can i talk for a second my prayer is that if someone's paralyzed and dreadfully tormented and they come ask me to pray for healing that fear is not my response come on now think about this if someone said i have somebody at my house who's paralyzed can you come pray what's your first response can i tell you the flesh response who me what if it doesn't work what if i don't have enough faith how dumb am i going to look if it doesn't turn into a healing no no my prayer is that my first response is the same power that raised christ from the dead let me add them so the certainly answered lord and jesus said to him i will come and heal him the saturn answered said lord i am not worthy that you should come under my roof but only speak a word somebody says speak a word and my servant will be healed for i also am a man under authority look at somebody next to ask them are you under authority come on look at somebody else ask them are you under authority i'm having fun beating you up look at somebody help me preach tell them your faith is dependent upon what authority you are we got a lot of christians that are outside of authority because of that they can't work their faith said i too i'm a man under authority having soldiers under me and i say to this one go when he goes and i say to another come and he comes and my servant do this and he doesn't when jesus heard it he mar i want faith that shocks jesus he said jesus marveled and said to those who follow surely i say to you i have not found such great faith even in my own people and i say to you that many will come from east and west and sit down with abraham isaac and jacob in the kingdom of heaven but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth then jesus said to the centurion go your way watch this as you have believed [Music] not as i've said or as i've written but as you have believed so let it be done for you and his servant was healed that same hour before i pray can i just provoke you what can your faith produce not your mama's faith not your husband's faith your wife's faith your cousin's faith your neighbor what can your faith produce this centurion's faith produced a healing for a paralyzed man i'll thou mess you up paralyzed man didn't even have any faith a friend of his so believed that he produced a supernatural miracle what can your faith produce father god we're grateful we're thankful for this moment god i pray even now that you would activate our faith that you would stir god even now in this moment a boldness and a courage to not just be called christians but to walk in the authority of a christian god we're grateful even this moment god that you're opening our eyes god you're increasing our faith that we will see your kingdom come and your will be done in our lives as it already is in heaven in the mighty matchless name of jesus we pray somebody shout amen come on somebody shout amen now i'm almost going to preach y'all doing well preach already i'm almost going to preach it's going to be quick i want to set you up after i preach then we're going to pray we're going to bind the things in our lives that are not of god and we're going to lose the kingdom of god in our lives so i just want to prep you and get your faith ready right now if there's been anxiety and fear and depression and all that running all over your family get ready because at the end of this we're about to bind it in the name of jesus and we're gonna lose hope and freedom and purpose and vision if there's been sickness in your body i'm seeing casts all over the place we're going to bind that sickness and we're going to lose the healing and the power of god in this place and watch this i'm not going to do it for you you're going to do it for yourself because you have the power of god if you are a believer and you are filled with the holy spirit somebody say amen all right so the only reason i lived from ages eight to like 16. somebody say was for jesus no it was for soccer it became for jesus after 16 but from 8 to 16 sports is all i live for i started off playing baseball but then they took the ball off the t and they started throwing it at your head and somebody told me when they throw the ball at your head you're not allowed to throw the bat back at the pitcher and that's when i decided baseball was no longer for me so that's why i quit baseball i played soccer i played basketball i played football but soccer was my obsession it was my sport it's what i was best at any anybody you know about soccer you know about soccer i mean a couple y'all it's just it's just it's not the most popular sport but it is one of the best sports on planet earth and and you don't have to know a lot about soccer but but you know the main rule of soccer is don't use your yeah it's not that deep just just just don't use don't use your hands you can use your head you use your chest you can you you leave your feet but just don't use your hands well in every sport don't use your hands is not the only rule of soccer there there's illegal tackles there's offsides there's all these different type of rules and any great soccer player knows that that there are all these rules but just because it's a rule doesn't mean don't do it all you rules followers you're already agitated right now what do you mean don't do it a rule rule this the point of rule is to be obeyed like like you you owe but no no no no every every great athlete knows rules are suggestions any any athletes in the room you you you understand a rule means don't get caught doing it it doesn't mean don't do it it means don't get caught doing it and if you get caught doing it argue as if you have no idea what the ref was talking about it wasn't my hand it was my shoulder your shoulders down i don't know what you're talking about because rules are useless unless they're enforced it's only the enforcing of a rule that makes that rule active and there's only authority that will enforce that rule and where there is no authority rules don't count you ever play basketball without a ref we had a little church picnic they thought just because i feel the holy ghost i won't throw them both somebody caught an elbow from the pad that's a foul so no you're just soft that's all that is why because without authority on the field the rule will not be enforced does this does that make sense and what's wrong with a lot of believers is we think that just because god made the rule it will automatically happen in our life so god's rule is by his stripes i have been healed god's rule is no good thing will he withhold as long as i walk uprightly god's rule is that my gifts will open door for me and and make way for me before great men and women but hear me just because there's a rule doesn't mean it's going to be enforced it will not be enforced without authority being present and what so many people really don't realize i'm gonna get in trouble is that god is not the authority here on earth [Music] oh don't mess with somebody's theology if god's so good why does he let bad things happen to good people i don't know the answer to that question so don't look at me like that we'll we'll figure it out in heaven but can i give you one savage answer that i think could be an answer because my church let it happen because that's not my land it's their land because when i made them on earth i said you take dominion what is that word dominion it means to you dominate and you subdue everything that creeps below you god has given you the authority in your life and you will not see or experience bwi what he promised you you will only see and experience what you enforce by faith and so many believers because we don't know what our role is in the promises of god in our life we are waiting for god to do what biblically he will never do we think he was joking when he hung on the cross and said it is finished you know what he meant i did my job it's now your turn it's like he's through the alley-oop but you gotta dunk at home and we're looking at him that was a bad pass he's like that was the cross it don't get better than that because the bible says in jude jude only has one chapter this is verse eight and i'm come back to this because it's gonna mess you up but in june chapter eight it says like why also these dreamers defile the flesh reject authority and speak evil of dignitaries don't worry about all that verse nine yet michael the archangel watched this in contending with the devil when he disputed about the body of moses dare not bring against him a violent accusation but said the lord rebuke you that's all i want to read for right now watch this the bible says that moses was the most humble and godly man on the planet now moses is the one who wrote that so you can take it or leave it like he said i i mean i mean moses is the most humble person yeah print that print that put that in the bible but the holy spirit let it stay so it must have been true and when moses died satan shows up and said he goes to hell now watch this he didn't belong to satan he belonged to god he was the most godly he was the most humble he was covered by the lamb's blood which was a substitute for the blood of jesus that was to come but here it was satan was trying to punk the people of god and take what did not belong to him and as soon as the angel showed up and said the lord rebuked you that belongs to us satan went his way and things went down the way they were supposed to go with moses going to heaven what am i trying to say we don't understand the things that the enemy will try he will try to take what is not lawfully his he will try to steal like josh we don't read the bible the bible says that satan is a thief what do thieves do they only take what belongs to them huh what not a good thief not that i've ever been a thief i'm not thief i'm a liar but i'm not this my parents always told me they said if you ever stole something growing up i will whoop you until the next day comes i never stole anything not lie through my teeth but i never stole i'm not a liar anymore though god delivered me but if thief steals that's what he does and he will continue to steal until those in authority check him so he will steal your peace he will steal your joy he'll steal your thumb and your big toe he'll steal your relationship with your child he'll steal your relationship with your parent with your friend with that neighbor it's what he'll do unless you check him here's the thing so many people have the authority to but they don't know how i have the authority the bible says that i can trample on scorpions and serpents which is a a picture of the enemy but what does that look like how do i trample on the spirit of depression or diabetes that has been running through my family for generations i'll give you three quick thoughts three quick thoughts the first thing is this you can't enforce what you don't know you you can't enforce you can't enforce you can't enforce what you don't know one of the reasons why a lot of people don't like sports that they're not i don't really get with football i don't understand it i can't really watch soccer because i don't wh why why do you throw that flag why they stop the game why is it so long why why why you can't touch the ball in soccer but yet if it goes out of bounds you get to pick it up and throw it it makes no sense to me why does the one guy back over the net he gets to touch it but nobody if you don't understand the rules you won't be able to enforce what is going on and what a lot of believers don't realize is they don't know the rules of the kingdom that they're a part of and if you don't know the rules of the kingdom that you're a part of you will allow things and accept things that are against the rules so because they tell us in this country that depression is normal we entertain it and acknowledge it because they tell you that if you're over 70 arthritis is just something you have to live with we entertain it and we acknowledge it because we don't know the rules of the kingdom that we're a part of somebody say amen now if you're from another country we have people that have moved to union church from uk and all these different places there's other country where the rule is you drive on the other side of the road not the right side the right side is the side that americans drive on but the other side not right being right but right being correct so we all missed that the little american arrogance in there there are different rules based on the country that you're in huh do you know that there's different rules based on the kingdom that you're in and what happens is for a lot of believers when they pray the prayer to surrender their life to jesus they forget the fact that they have now signed up for a citizenship in a different country you ever been to one of those ceremonies where people become citizens of the usa and they they go through a background check and they interview you have to take the test and all that other good stuff but then there's the ceremony where you now renounce allegiance to any other kingdom and you swear allegiance or you pledge allegiance to the country that you are now becoming a citizen of i think we need to have those type of ceremonies at union church it's supposed to be growth track but there's not enough swearing going on in grove track we need now that i'm a follower of god i pledge allegiance to the kingdom of god i am now a citizen of a different kingdom and because i'm a citizen of a different kingdom i need to learn the rules of this new kingdom because it's not the same kingdom that i used to be a citizen of philippians chapter 3 verse 20 says this for our citizenship is in heaven from which we also eagerly wait for the savior the lord jesus christ if you're a u.s citizen that doesn't change just because you're in mexico if you're u.s citizen that doesn't change just because you're visiting africa or europe or asia your citizenship doesn't change based on where you travel just because you've traveled to earth doesn't mean that you are no longer a citizen of heaven your citizenship is still founded in heaven the second you became a child of god you need to know the rules of the kingdom that you come from rule number one about this kingdom it is not a democracy your vote doesn't count it's a little confusion that we have in the kingdom of god it's not a voting kingdom you're so american you think you get to vote every four years for who no no this is not a democracy this is a monarchy what does that mean it means there's a king can i can i go there it's actually not a monarchy it's a dictatorship now you may never heard this term before it is a benevolent dictatorship when we hear the word dictatorship we're used to dictatorships here on earth where everybody in the nation is there to serve and bless the one that's in charge a benevolent dictatorship is yes i have the ultimate authority and the ultimate saiyan is not a vote but i am here to bless the people in my kingdom not just to be blessed myself we have a king who literally laid his life down so that we can live and his desire is to share his inheritance that we can walk in all that he is but don't get it twisted we don't get a vote in this kingdom there's a king in this kingdom there's a constitution and it's full of all the rules that dictate what we're allowed to experience and what we're not allowed to experience in this kingdom there are governmental officials there are leaders that have authority that have been given to them by the king and it is their responsibility to enforce the authority that they've been given the bible calls these leaders apostles and prophets and teachers and pastors evangelists and overseers and deacons they have authority that's been given by the king exercise on his behalf this this is the kingdom that we live in so watch this within the constitution of the kingdom everything it says i can have i can have and everything it says i can't have i can't have everything it says that's entitled to me is entitled to me and everything that it says that is not allowed to come into my life is not allowed to come into my life however if i don't enforce it what's in here won't be experienced in my life somebody say amen but it's amazing to me how much we've memorized the laws of this land to the point where we reject the laws of this land does that make sense you you know i'm discerning right like you are too but so am i so i can discern when i preach something that makes people uncomfortable and when i discern that i say it over and over and over and over and over again and every time i talk about wealth people get uncomfortable every time i say it's god's desire that you have more than enough so that you could be generous on every single occasion people get uncomfortable you start thinking about your student loans you value your credit card debt and the car payment and all that other good stuff and then you begin to think about that rich uncle that is a complete jerk and you're like if that's what wealth looks like i don't want to be wealthy i'm humble who said the opposite of wealth is humility i have met some of the most prideful poor people you will ever meet in your did he just say that yes he just said that because we have so acclimated ourselves to the law of this land that we actually are uncomfortable by the laws of the kingdom so so so then people start asking i'm not allowed to say stupid questions you only but i i just did that then then people start asking them questions like what is what does union church believe about gay marriage or abortion or whatever the hot topics in this country are and it just can't just be stephen this is a selection i know we're online everybody's watching but i don't just can't just be just for a second you know i'ma do anyway but i'm just i'm just making i'm just slicing the moment y'all understand we don't have an opinion right like like asking me what i believe is from the place of democracy this is not a democracy this is the kingdom of god and there is a king and he's already told us what is and what isn't and the only thing i'm allowed to say is what he's already said the only thing i'm allowed to believe is what he's told me to believe and the only thing i'm allowed to stand up and a champion is what he's already said and anybody thinks that that i get a choice doesn't understand how the kingdom works i i said this to union college and and they got all wowed out because one of the things that irritates me is when people want to meet with the pastor about things that are not legally authorized in scripture [Music] pastor i'm offended and i want to meet with you about my offense i can't meet with you why not because biblically it's illegal to be offended because the bible says a righteous man looks over the offense the bible says that a righteous man is so secure in their identity in christ that they are unoffendable that if someone looks down at me over looks at me spits at me curses at me it's their problem not mine because they don't understand what you're saying to me is going to actually jump back on you because an unrighteous curse cannot jump on but it comes from the mindset of a democracy and this isn't a democracy it's a dictatorship i ain't the dictator he is he's for my good but i don't get a choice in the matter now can i yoli i'm having more fun than they are and i'm taking my time and we're going to be out of here don't worry union kids we forgot about y'all can y'all give it it for uni kid [Applause] right at this moment they are binding your bad children and they are loosening your goldfish and juice box i'm having fun y'all i'm just calling everybody jules you ready for this so watch this i can't ignore one law and enforce another and what we have are believers that are picking and choosing what parts of the bible you want active in your life and hear me it is all or nothing you cannot say i don't see anything wrong with shaqin we love each other and then turn around and say by his stripes i have been healed it don't work that way dawn i broke my hand and now i gotta preach you cannot harbor a fence in your heart against your brother and sister and then turn around at 21 days of prayer and say open the floodgates to heaven and let it it don't work that way you don't get to pick and choose which rules you enforce and which ones you break because you are either a bandit or you are the authority but you cannot be both some of us want to be both cops and robbers don't work that way oh i'm again trouble okay i'm getting trouble you know what the law of america is and it's also the biblical law that law enforcement that breaks the law gets her stiffer penalty than citizens do because as law enforcement it was your job to enforce the law you of all people should have known better you know what the bible says the bible says pray for those who preach the gospel because they will be held accountable more than anybody else because of all people they're the ones that are by the way we all sin we don't want to somebody say amen it's not the plan it's not the goal let's just clarify that so pastor are you saying that if i ever sin i can't enforce the authority of god no that's what i'm saying here's what i'm saying the second you stop calling sin sin is the second you have surrendered your kingdom authority since so i don't speed this is completely hypothetical y'all sound like y'all don't believe me so i'm driving like jehu it's my favorite verse in the bible bible said he drove like a madman and i get pulled over by authority make sense roll down all my windows put both my hands on the dash i wait for the officer to come and there's so many officers in the church i love all of you guys and girls you're amazing we're getting into the race thing now it's like we're going to get to here and and i don't i don't mean to give you all my secrets but i i i do get pulled over sometimes and uh i i have my routine i do i do i roll down all my windows because they're tinted you can't strip it if you can't see it anyway i put my hands on the steering wheel and i say uh good afternoon officer got a big old smile on my face do you know you were doing 70 and a 50 i am so sorry i didn't know i didn't know i did know i did i didn't mean to i was rushing i was going somewhere i wasn't paying attention it's a beautiful day though it's a beautiful day i broke the law broke the rules but i acknowledged it can i give you a different scenario do you know you were doing 70 and a 50 well i didn't agree with the 50. that 50 apply to people that can't control their cars i think the 50 isn't relevant for 2021 in 2021 you see they make cars that can go a lot faster than they used to so i don't think that applies to me anymore you see we love each other and we think it's going to end in marriage so i don't think that rule applies [Applause] to me [Applause] i'ma get in trouble yoli my cousin broke that law and i love my cousin and i don't want my cousin to go to hell so i will no longer acknowledge that law because it makes me uncomfortable [Music] you can't authorize rules you don't know and you can't authorize rules you don't submit to and for me to check the enemy and submit to god's rules in my life i have to allow his word to be paramount in my life and there's so many believers who think their feelings matter [Applause] pastor can i tell you how i feel you can i just need you to understand that when you're finished telling me how you feel we just had a conversation about something that does not matter second thing is just right this time right there this is savage on a level that i'm having fun though close your mouth authority has a chain of command i'ma land this plane don't worry we're gonna bind and lose you're gonna walk out here more empowered than you ever have before we may never have an online campus by the time i'm done with this authority has a chain of command matthew 28 18 says this and jesus came and spoke to them saying all authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth therefore go and make disciples of all nations by the way you don't make disciples without authority don't you dare think you are going to plant a campus in peachy county and the enemy not attack don't you dare think you're not going to lead all of your co-workers to christ and your family is going to get saved healed delivered filled with the holy spirit and there not be an opposition from the enemy you better know where your authority comes from because you've picked a fight it's an authority has been given to me in heaven and earth go therefore and make disciples of all nations and watch this and lo i am with you always even to the end of the age amen he didn't say all authority you have he said all authority has been given to me being jesus so watch this he said you go without any authority i'll mess with you let's teach this real quick you have no authority jesus has all authority but lo i am with you always i don't have authority but the one who has all authority will never leave me [Applause] so i go and when i see something that's unauthorized jesus is your job he's always with me jesus there's sickness jesus there's depression jesus jesus is poverty he can i free you up never be intimidated if you're spiritual enough to heal somebody you're not you never have been and you never will be can i tell you where a power and authority heal it comes from your revelation of jesus's presence at all times you're dragging with me i can get stuff done with authority because i know who's with me not what happens so here's what the centurion said he said jesus don't come to my house because i am a man under authority he said i tell one soldier to go and i tell one to come and i tell this one to do this and he said because i am under authority i understand hear me the chain of command and because i understand the chain of command i know what your authority can do psalm 133 verse 1 it says this behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell somebody say together in unity it is like the precious oil upon the head the anointing of god running down the beer the beard of aaron down on the edge of his garment it is like the dew of hermann descending upon the mountains of zion for there the lord commands the blessing life forever more somebody say preach faster don't say that he said here's how his authority works it starts at the head who's the head somebody say jesus and it runs down here's what we think the power and authority is we think it is this field of disconnected isolated christians that god just throws his power and blessing on god says i don't do chaos i don't do confusion i don't do and i don't do people by themselves he said my authority is only where there's unity my authority is only when it is then the kingdom order from the head down to the edges which means the isolated christian has no authority which means a disconnected christian has no authority which means if we choose to do life by ourselves we have chosen to disconnect ourselves from the authority of god i didn't lie to you i just misspoke can i tell you how i misspoke i told you you are the church remember what's happening the church is not a building the church is a people of god it is but it isn't he said you are or peter and on this rock i will build my church and that word church you know what it means it means rocks tightly packed together the believer is not the church the connected believer is the isolated believer is just a child of god but the prodigal son was a child of but because he had disconnected from the authority of the father he had no authority it's not until he came back under authority that he regained his authority fun and a lot of us don't understand why the enemy won't respect our authority enemy says i know i don't have to respect your authority because you're not under authority and i understand where the authority of god comes from and it only comes from unity it only comes from submission it only comes from being under authority and because you are a lone ranger christian and you're disconnected and you deserve i don't want to be in a connect group and i don't want to be transparent and i want to let people in my life church people are nosy or whatever maybe the enemies said great i could do whatever i want to do with you because i know where your authority comes from and you don't oh my matthew 18 18 says this assurance i say to you whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven again i say to you that if one of you so is that that if you make up in your mind that if two of you agree on earth it takes two babies it takes two baby i can't sing anymore it will be done for them by my father in heaven when are we going to care more about the kingdom of god coming to pass in our lives then we care about what people think about us i'm going to say this real and i'm not even joking you know what breaks my heart as a pastor when people in this church go through storms by themselves and won't tell anybody else and it's shame it's guilt you think you're the only person want to kill your spouse thought about how to do it watch the tv show that's why i never go to sleep before zaya let her go sleep first she cooks dinner i let her eat it first so then i eat after you think you're the only person that has looked at your child and thought if i could do it over again huh you think you're the only person that's made a dumb financial decision you think you're the only person that has battled with pornography homosexuality whatever the taboo sin in church is that you're not allowed to deal with or struggle with so if you do struggle with it you got to keep it to yourself and what we have is a bunch of christians that are getting their teeth kicked in by the enemy because they are can i just say it straight too prideful to say i'm not okay i'm not all right i'm losing this fight i'm losing this battle and the enemy's just like i got you right where i want you because as long as you stay disconnected you have no authority because your authority is only in jesus jesus is the head of his church when i disconnect myself from his church i'm disconnecting myself from the head so don't be prophesying in my parking lot if you haven't finished my growth track you have no authority here pastor i'm a prophet not here you're not you may have been at your last church oh am i getting trouble but she left that church and i'm really hoping that the king authorized you to leave that church he will do that but just make sure he's done that if this is the one you're going to join you got to join it and what does that mean that means you come under authority that means you finish grove track like i'm just being ignorant but what sometimes we don't connect the dots what if this prayer for sickness hasn't worked because i haven't finished growth track i'm just what if like y'all laughing i'm just thinking what if my money's still funny because i haven't finished step four and i'm still out from under authority what if i mean i put out 12 applications and that didn't work how about fish grow track let's try that it got real quiet up in this methodist church i tell you can i read one more thing and we'll land this plane let's go back to jude this is i feel like this old school word of faith preaching like you just got your bible out turn over to jew remember that more preachers just walk around with their bibles eternal jews chapter chapter one verse eight so i read it before remember satan tried to steal um moses body can i blow your mind likewise also these dreamers somebody say just get in trouble beth you're already there pastor god told me then why are you telling me because you just want me to co-sign on what you've told yourself that god's told you you don't need me god told you go do it likewise all these dreamers defile the flesh reject authority and speak evil of dignitaries yet michael the archangel in contending with satan when he was disputing or arguing over the body of moses watch this dare not bring against satan a reviling accusation but said the lord rebuke you but these dreamers speak evil of whatever they do not know and whatever they know naturally like brute beast and these things they corrupt themselves i feel like i'm on a drumline break it down now shout out all to the church step lines make it simple you're going to play in three minutes not yet i'm gonna land this plane can i tell you what jude said jude said the archangel was talking to satan and he so respected god that he wouldn't even gossip about satan he wouldn't bring an accusation against satan he just said the lord rebuked you and he said these dreamers are speaking against people that god has blessed and they're not even smart enough to know that their accusations are removing them from the authority of god i don't think union church is spiritual enough [Music] calm down come in who said that i don't agree with what there ain't a bunch of little shallow baby christians over there if an angel was smart enough not to speak against satan why do i think you know what people ask me what do you think about this pastor that's blowing up you ain't gonna no no no no you ain't gonna do that to me the heck no you're gonna do it you ain't gonna put me in a position to lose my favor just because i'm speaking against somebody that god has blessed you know how many people have been set up to forfeit their authority because someone asked you what do you think i'm sorry it's a kingdom i don't have an opinion ask the king and could it be ah just jump off the edge then my teenager doesn't respect me because i don't respect my pastor that sickness has not submitted to me because i haven't submitted to my campus pastor that poverty hasn't been broken off of me because i haven't submitted to the dream team leader they've put under me if we understood the chain of command we can understand i don't know who you are but i really don't like you but i have to like you because me liking you is dictating god's favor on my life so let can we just squash it because i need [Applause] it's not even about you i just got to be connected to you so he could be on me i see this write this down you can play now y'all still with me you all ready to bind and lose all right recap you can't enforce what we don't know authority has a chain of command and you have none when you step out of the chain of command well this might be the most bold message i've ever preached in my life but i'm tired of the enemy punking you you know the bible said there were these sons of skiva who came up against the enemy and they had no authority of their own they tried to piggyback off of somebody else's authority and them demons whoop that tail here's what the demon said to those sons of skiva jesus i know paul i know but who the are you i want you walking in your own authority i'm tired of depression whipping your tail i'm tired of insecurity keeping you back from all that god has for you authority must be activated you can have authority you could be under authority but if you don't know how to work your authority the authority doesn't compass second here is chapter 4 verse 13. and since we have this same spirit of faith according to what is written i believe therefore i spoke i also believe and therefore speak here's here's how i activate my authority authority is only activated through faith and faith is only demonstrated through actions so it's very simple here's here's how i heal somebody believing that jesus is with me and he's going to heal them somebody says amen it is my faith that activates authority the only thing is faith is not activated without an action connected to it the most basic action is you got to say it like if we understood how our words activate the authority of god that how literally life and death is in the power of our tongue but it's not our words it's our faith bwi behind our words so you can walk into your house right now and just start walking around i bind depression in the name of jesus i bind contention in the name of jesus i bind animosity i bind sleepless nights i bi makes sense but if in your heart you're thinking is it working is it working is it working it ain't working so what i want you to have is this mental picture of you walking up and down your house maybe you and your spouse have been arguing and fighting for years can i mess with you a little bit it's not you it's not your spouse it's the enemy that's in your house that turns everything into a fight so stop binding your spouse and bind the enemy can i give you a mental picture you walk in your home you'll get home about 30 minutes i bind that spirit of contention in the name of jesus and just get this picture in your mind jesus who's everywhere that you go runs over wraps that demon up and kicks him out the door [Applause] [Music] when you get in your mind that my words activates heaven [Music] and when i speak over that cancer and i say be dried up and be healed that that angel comes yo i nearly jumped on the stage and jumped right off she started singing in the middle where she said come here cancer i was like wow what if we had the authority on us that we knew my words shifts atmospheres when i speak the authority of god is activated the laying on of hands is another way that we activate our faith my hands are hands and then i need to pass my hands on me no you need jesus to lay hands with you here's what i believe i believe that when i put my hand on you jesus puts his hand on mine it's simply an action to activate my faith that the authority of god is stepping in hop up on your feet bwi colombia hop up on your feet [Music] can y'all handle a 30-second message step number one identify the breach what gave the enemy authority in your life [Music] was it the bitterness that you're harboring in your heart was the fact that you're not submitted to authority that's why he hasn't submitted to you there is a breach what's the breach some of the access points that the enemy has in our life is not sin it's trauma you didn't sin you just got in a car accident and at that moment a spirit of fear attached itself to you make sense what's that breach point and whatever that breach point is as soon as you identify repent now watch this how do i repent of something that's not sin i got in a car accident i didn't sin but that's when the anxiety started that's when the here's what you repent of god i repent of believing a lie that you're not covering me that your angels don't encamp around me god that with long life you won't satisfy me i reject that lie and i expect i accept the truth of your word in my life in this moment as you repent of that that's when you begin to bind the enemy and loose the promises of god in your life somebody shhh amen
