What happens when you walk in your God given authority? As a believer, you have been given divine authority through Jesus Christ. This isn’t just a feel-good concept—it’s a spiritual reality that allows you to overcome obstacles, speak life into situations, and claim the victory God has already won for you. Let’s explore how you can activate this authority and walk in the fullness of God’s plan for your life.
1. The Power of Jesus’ Name is Your God Given Authority
The Name of Jesus is more than a phrase at the end of a prayer—it’s the key to accessing supernatural power. Kenneth Copeland teaches that “There is power and authority in the Name of Jesus. Allow yourself to be made strong through faith in the Name that is above every name”.
When you speak the Name of Jesus in faith, you activate spiritual authority. This means you can command sickness to leave, bind the enemy’s attacks, and declare peace over your home. Philippians 2:9-10 tells us that “God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the Name that is above every name, that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow.” Everything—whether seen or unseen—must submit to His Name.
2. Exercising Your Authority in Daily Life
Having authority in Christ isn’t just for pastors or leaders—it’s for YOU. Jesus said, “I have given you authority…to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you” (Luke 10:19). So how do you put this into practice? How do you practically walk in your God given authority?
- Speak God’s Word Over Your Situation – Life and death are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). Declare victory over your health, finances, and family.
- Take Dominion Over Fear and Doubt – Reject fear and replace it with faith-filled confessions. Say, “God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7).
- Command the Enemy to Flee – James 4:7 tells us to “Resist the devil, and he will flee.” You have the authority to rebuke the enemy’s plans and enforce God’s promises.
3. Partnering with God for Breakthroughs
God has placed you in a position of authority, but He also calls you to partner with Him in faith. Partnership in the Kingdom isn’t just about financial giving—it’s about uniting with other believers to advance God’s work. Kenneth Copeland Ministries teaches that “Covenant partnership equals power! When you connect with the Body of Christ, you activate the anointing in new ways”.
Kingdom partnership involves:
- Connecting and engaging with other faith-filled believers
- Praying boldly in faith agreement with one another, expecting God’s Word to change every circumstance and meet every need.
- Supporting ministries that align with God’s mission
When you step into your God-given authority and partner with Heaven, you’ll see breakthroughs in ways you never imagined!
The enemy wants you to stay passive, but Jesus has given you power to reign in life. Start walking in that authority today—speak the Name of Jesus, exercise your faith, and partner with God’s Kingdom. You were made to win!
