Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you. Luke 10:19 NLT

Jesus came and told his disciples, "I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit." Matthew 28:18-19

Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Matthew 18:18

The enemy belongs under our feet! We have been given POWER and DOMINION over all the powers of the enemy, over sickness and disease, against all the tactics of Satan. God is God, not Satan.

If you are suffering from depression or anxiety, begin to cast thoughts down that are not of God. As soon as anxious thoughts enter your mind, bind them in the name of Jesus out loud, for they are the thoughts of the enemy in order to hinder you. (Whatever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven).

Remember this: Demons have no power over you, unless you allow it. The minute that you begin to allow your circumstances and negative thoughts to reign and have affect over you, you have given up your authority. God made a promise to Abraham, and despite his circumstances which seemed so far removed from that promise, Abraham believed God. And because of his great faith, God made Abraham a father of nations. Whatever God has promised and spoken over your life, know that Satan will try to discourage and hinder you from it.

We should never have any fear of man, fear of failure, worry or fretting about finances, depression, etc. All sickness, evil, and feelings of hindrance are from Satan and as Sons and Daughters of God, we are not subject to them. Knowing your authority is the first step to moving in power; whether it is knowing that you have authority over the voice of the enemy (casting down thoughts) that hinder you, or having authority over sickness, spirits of infirmity, or over trespassing spirits. If you are allowing yourself to be oppressed by the enemy by accepting his attacks against your body and mind, then you are not exercising your authority.

Father, by the power of the Holy Ghost, in the name of Jesus Christ, I ask that you would equip these readers with a KNOWLEDGE and REVELATION of their authority and dominion in Christ. I ask that you would use them for great and mighty works to destroy the works of the devil and to bring Heaven to earth through the working of power and by the ushering of souls into the Kingdom of Light. In Jesus' mighty name, amen!
