God is waiting for us to rise and stand in the "Authority" He has given us. Because with that Authority He gave us the right, the permission to enforce His word and the "Power" to act on His behalf to carry out His Kingdom purposes.
Jesus never gave us a formula to follow, He gave us Power and Authority. He taught us about order in the demonic realm so we would know and understand what we were up against and examples of what to do as we read in Matthew 10:1 that tells us:
Verse 1: And Jesus summoned to Him twelve disciples and gave (provided, presented, furnished, delivered, bestowed, granted, awarded, assigned, handed over and gave away) to them Power and Authority over unclean spirits, to drive them out, and to cure all kinds of disease and all kinds of weakness and infirmity.
This Authority is the right and the Power is the might that denies the presence of a hindrance in your life if you will us it.
Beloved, God is going to bring you out of the maze of confusion. You're going to have greater clarity of who you are in Christ and the ability to grasp a deeper understanding of the authority you have over the enemy in the spiritual realm.
In Ephesians 6:12 (AMP) it tells us what we are up against.
Verse 12: For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood (contending only with physical opponents) but against the despots, against the powers, against (the master spirits who are) the world rules of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.
We know that within the Heavenly sphere there is a real demonic kingdom that is positioned by order and rank just like an army in the natural has order and rank. At the top of that rank is a King called:
1. Despots that are "Tyrant Kings" that rule over a demonic kingdom. They exercises oppressive cruelty and have absolute power over the lesser spirits.
2. Next in rank are the "Powers" that means: Order of Angels. These powers are under the tyrent king that are given governmental authority to execute power over, to hinder, oppose us and control the lesser demons.
3. Then the next in line are the "Master Spirits" that have power to control and influence us in negative ways. Their goal is to try and destroy us and execute the commands of the tyrent kings.
What I want to point out here is that just as the Jewish nation had a tyrent king over them named Ahasurus and he as king promoted and gave authority to Haman who tried to destroy Esther and the Jewish people so do we. We are fighting a battle that can only be won in the spiritual realm and we have to start at the top and work our way down.
Remember King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon? Satin used him in the natural to physically take Israel captive and imprison them. In the supernatural, the satanic kingdoms king has the same job and his assignment is to physically imprison our bodies with sickness, imprison our minds with fear, doubt and unbelief. Take captive our hearts and imprison them to the brokenness, hurts and pains of the past. He wants to keep our souls chained and in bondage to anger, bitterness, resentment and unforgiveness.
These powers and master spirits job and assignments are to intimidate us so we move
from our rightful position as a child of God who is seated in Heavenly places. They will challenge our authority with lies to make us doubt our legal rights as believers. They will try to control us, manipulate us and invade our thought life. Their main goal is to keep us in bondage and blind us to the truth.
So the first thing we must do is take dominion over the demonic king (or also known as the strongman) by binding him and removing him form his headship as Mark 3:27 tells us:
Verse 27: But no one can enter the strong man's house and plunder his property unless he first binds the strong man, and them he will plunder his house.
A good example or representation of this is the story of David and Goliath and how he came before David and the army of Israel with threats and tried to intimidate them. But God gave David a plan how to defeat the enemy and so he faced Goliath (that represents the demonic king and his kingdom) with God's Authority and Power that enabled him to defeat the enemy. So David killed Goliath, cut off his head and sent the enemy running for their lives.
These demonic kings and their kingdoms are the ones who are blocking your healing and keeping you from standing in "Victory and Breakthrough" in your life.
