by Evangelist Andreas Huebner

Praise God! God has given us authority over all the power of the enemy. Every demon, every evil principality and power, even the devil himself must kneel down and obey us if we open our mouth and use the authority God has given us.

Many Christians are praying again and again 'Lord, help me! Lord, heal me! Lord, set me free!' Well, don't misunderstand me, I don't have anything against praying. I believe that God hears and answers prayer. But sometimes we need to open our mouth and use the authority Jesus has given us. Our words have creative power. Sometimes, when you pray 'Lord, set me free from that evil power', the Lord says 'I have given you power over all the power of the enemy. Why don't you use it?'
I want to tell you something: Christians are the most powerful people on earth! A born-again Spirit-filled Christian is more powerful than any magician, witch or warlock. He is more powerful than any voodoo-priest. ... Yes, indeed, even more powerful than the devil himself.

-- But if you consider the body of Christ you will find out that only very few Christians are aware of the authority God has given them. Hosea 4 Verse 6 says: My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Some people are sick only because they never learned to use their authority and to command that sickness to leave their body. Some people are tormented by evil forces only because nobody told them that they have power over all the power of the enemy. Some people are under the influence of witchcraft only because they never learned to use their authority and to bind that power of witchcraft and to cast it out of their life.

Listen once again to what Jesus says in Luke 10 Verse 19:
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you!

Well, I want to encourage you: Start using the authority God has given you, and you will see great and mighty victories in your life.
