Bible Question: what is our "Authority IN CHRIST" AND HOW DO WE USE IT. PLEASE GIVE ME SOME VERSES TO SUPPORT THIS AND COMMENTARY. ALSO YOU MIGHT COMBINE "OUR POWER AND AUTHORITY IN CHRIST AND HOW TO USE IT?' |
Bible Answer: "Nowhere does Scripture state that believers have authority over Satan himself. "*Those biblical passages that do speak of believers’ authority over the demonic realm apply strictly to DRIVING DEMONS OUT of LOST human beings (Matt. 10:1; Mark 6:7; Luke 10:19; Acts 8:7).* (Emphasis added.) "They are never applied to pastoral counseling or the believer’s personal battle with the devil. "The biblical evidence suggesting that believers have been given direct authority over the demonic realm is scantier than is usually supposed. Anderson applies Matthew 12:29 (“first binds the strong man”) to believers, when it is obvious from the preceding seven verses that Jesus was referring to Himself alone. Matthew 18:18 (“bind” and “loose”) refers to church discipline, not spiritual warfare, as the larger context makes entirely clear. "Scripture clearly teaches that Jesus has won the victory over the devil and all authority has been given to Him (Matt. 28:18; Eph. 1:20-22; Col. 2:15; 1 Pet. 3:22; etc.). "This does not mean Christians must accept defeat in spiritual warfare. Scripture clearly teaches that Jesus has won the victory over the devil and all authority has been given to Him (Matt. 28:18; Eph. 1:20-22; Col. 2:15; 1 Pet. 3:22; etc.). While believers do not have the prerogative to say, “I command you, Satan (to do this or not do that),” Jesus does. Believers are indeed positionally seated with Him in heavenly places and are thus made partakers in His victory. They therefore can be confident that if they resist the devil, he will flee from them (James 4:7)" (http://www.equip.org/search/). --JVH0212 "In essentials unity, in nonessentials liberty, and in all things charity." |
