Our prayers should be to release something we already have for we do have authority on this earth.
The first level of authority and dominion is that of mankind: the natural realm.
It is written by The Holy Spirit in Genesis 1:
26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all fn the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
And confirmed again by The Holy Spirit in Psalm 8:
5Yet what honor you have given to men,
created only a little lower than Elohim,
crowned with glory and magnificence.
6 You have delegated to them
rulership over all you have made,
with everything under their authority,
placing earth itself under the feet of your image-bearers.
7-8All the created order and every living thing
of the earth, sky, and sea—
the wildest beasts and all that move in the paths of the sea —
everything is in submission to Adam’s sons.
That authority limited GOD and the devil since it was given to man. When Adam gave that authority to the devil, Jesus had to restore it back. Now, the devil and his minions need a human body to influence and carry out their temporarily acquired authority. When man submits to the devil, he gives access to his authority which is then used for nefarious purposes.
The second level of authority is the authority of the believer: spiritual authority. Jesus won this back from satan when He went to the cross on our behalf.
Luke wrote by The Holy Spirit in chapter 4:
5 The devil lifted Jesus high into the sky, and in a flash showed Him all the kingdoms and regions of the world. 6-7The devil then said to Jesus, “All of this, with all its power, authority, and splendor, is mine to give to whomever I wish. Just do one thing, and You will have it all. Simply bow down to worship me, and it will be yours! You will possess everything!”
Jesus did not dispute this claim by the devil that the kingdoms and regions were his. The devil knew how temporary it was unless Jesus also submitted to his authority. Thankfully, it did not happen.
Paul affirmed this Truth when he recorded by The Holy Spirit in Colossian chapter 2:
15 Then Jesus made a public spectacle of all the powers and principalities of darkness, stripping away from them every weapon and all their spiritual authority and power to accuse us. And by the power of the cross, Jesus led them around as prisoners in a procession of triumph. He was not their prisoner; they were his!
And FATHER affirmed this Truth as it is written by The Holy Spiri in Hebrews 2:
4Then God added HIS witness to theirs. HE validated their ministry with signs, astonishing wonders, all kinds of powerful miracles, and by the gifts of the Holy Spirit, which He distributed as He desired.
The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit 1st John 3:
7Delightfully Loved children, don’t let anyone divert you from this Truth. The person who keeps doing what is right proves that he is righteous before God, even as the Messiah is righteous. 8But the one who indulges in a sinful life is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God was revealed was to undo and destroy the works of the devil.
Jesus’ Blood sacrifice erased the note so we are no longer under the devil’s dominion in any way, shape, or form. With that in mind, what should our perspective be? We should now see everything from Jesus’ perspective and He resides in the 3rd Heaven with FATHER.
The third level of authority of position and calling is where we should now view all things. We should look down on the circumstances here on earth, not from the underneath perspective. We are more than conquerors.!
The fourth level of authority is the authority of GOD’S glory. It comes with HIS Presence. Something will always change when FATHER’S Presence shows up. We should not be surprised when HIS Glory arrives and I believe we will experience It soon!
