The Believer's Authority | Ep 15

Thank you.

Well, welcome to Andrew's Classics, where we have been studying the believer's authority.

We're already multiple lessons into this, and it has been super powerful.

It really has.

I've really enjoyed just recognizing the power that God has given us and the authority as believers.

You know, He placed His Spirit on the inside of us, His power, His ability, and often in the realities that we can unleash that, good or bad, by that same authority.

So praise God that Jesus won that authority back for us.

Amen.

So one of the things that I really enjoy of how Andrew has been going through this, he's been talking about these principles of just more of more than just a mental.

We've got authority.

How do you use it? And in last lesson, really spent time talking about the power of our words and that life and death is and how we release that.

The word even says death and life are in the power of the tongue and those who love it will eat its fruit.

And Andrew had mentioned that and talked about that.

And sometimes we can be very carefree with our words.

We can really allow anything and everything, just the feelings that we're going through at the moment, be the things that are on our lips.

And by doing that, being very flippant about our words, that can actually curse the things that we're trying to lay our hands to.

And one of my favorite sentences in last episode was, he said, we need to talk back to the things that are talking to us.

And I just, I've thought about that quite a bit since that time.

Just that aspect of like, there's things they do.

They talk to you.

Your body talks to you, the aches, the pains, the knot in your shoulder, which I have a knot in my shoulder right now.

So it's trying to talk to me even right now.

There's different.

Yes.

Oh, this is wonderful.

Okay.

So we're just going to keep talking the whole episode like this.

So the things that try to talk to you, you've got to be like, hey, stop it.

Knock it off.

That's not part of my life.

You know, it's your bank account.

Man, your wallet can talk to you.

And you've got to talk back to the things that are trying to tell you what your future possibilities, destiny is.

You have the power with your words.

And I just love that, what he said, because it makes us stop and consider what we say.

you know, Andrew had mentioned before talking about, we always have different thoughts that come to us.

And the word in Matthew chapter six is to take no thought saying, and I thought that really stood out to me, just the aspect of when you take a thought, you take a thought by saying it, you can actually say something and then that thought becomes yours, you're speaking it out.

And when you do that, you're backing, you're putting your authority behind those words.

And whether it's good or bad, we can, again, really be assured that that's something that we can sow into our lives.

And so important that we're filtering those thoughts that are coming through.

We're making sure that we're running them through the Word of God.

What does the Word of God actually declare over my life and allow myself to be speaking those things forward? Again, this is in our hands.

This is our ability.

This is our consent going forth through our mouths by our words that's bringing us the results.

And we are a result of the things that we're speaking forward.

But one of the things that I really liked also in the last episode, Andrew said, you know, there is an evaluation process where we learn to identify.

OK, so did I bring this on myself? There's different situations that we can find ourselves in.

And we're like, oh, it's the devil.

No, it's just you being dumb.

Right.

So did I bring this on myself? And then you repent.

Lord, hey, I'm sorry for my carnality.

You know, if there's even ignorance, Lord, hey, Lord, teach me, Lord, how not to do this.

There are some things just in life that we bring, we do bring on ourselves.

So we're able to what? Repent from those things.

Call upon the Lord.

He gives us wisdom and understanding.

That's where we have a comforter counselor, right? He said, some things are just natural.

Some things are just oppression and persecution of this world against salt and against light and against, you know, just evil people doing evil things that it was just brought on by this natural world that we live in.

That doesn't mean that we can't pray against it.

Doesn't mean we can't stand.

but you understand where it comes from.

And then third, some things they're from the devil.

They're just outright attacks to distract you.

And so I thought that was really great how he gave a guideline to that so that you know how to continue to place these principles that we're studying.

Thank you.
