Not sure if you are a Ronnie Coleman fan, but he was probably the greatest Body builder of our day. And all the while as he was winning Mr. Olympia he still worked his day job as police officer…. Can you imagine getting pulled over by a 350 pound shredded officer Coleman. Talk about power…. but than again he had something even greater than that… he had authority.
Angels and demons!
Pro 29:2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a
wicked man rules, the people groan.
Luke 20:1-2 One day as he was teaching the people in the temple courts and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, together with the elders, came up to him. 2"Tell us by what authority you are doing these things," they said. "Who gave you this authority?”
Matthew 1:22 The people were amazed because jesus taught with authority unlike the pharisees and scribes. And in v. 23 jesus casts out a demon.
Luke 10:19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.
Power is:
Greek: Dunamis
Def: “Inherent power;” “The ability to act;” “Having the might/efficiency/ability to do something”
The source of our power is Pentecost: Acts 1:8 “You will receive power (Dumanis) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you...”
Authority is:
Greek: Exousia
Def: “Ruling power;” “Being authorised to act;” “Having the right to do something”
The source of our authority is the delegated authority of Christ, which He regained from the devil through Calvary’s victory.
He has given us authority over all power, all supernatural demonic power.
So you might think… so we don’t have power just authority? No no there are plenty of scriptures that point to our authority and power… but it is interesting here that Luke states that all we need is Gods authority to step over and crush the enemies power. Oh we have the power… but I will admit sometimes I don’t feel like it, so I rest on the fact i don’t even need Gods power when I am walking in his authority. And all that takes is him continually revealing himself to me… that I have the authority.
I am now in a place that when I don’t get answers to prayer I get mad… why? not just because I don’t get the answer but because I know, I KNOW- I know, I have the authority. So when answers fail me, I ask God to show me again his authority in me. Reveal it again and again so that my power is activated and my faith is energized and my mind and heart catch up with my authority.
hey, today, don’t worry about stepping out in power, just know that you as a follower of Christ can step out in his authority.
The skinny little cop has as much power as the Ronnie Coleman Cop… because he has the same authority.
