Using Authority Casually, Can Produce Casualties (4.4.13)

To whom do you pray? 

Do you praise and entreat the Lord? 


Or do you spend your time rebuking the devil?

It is a subtle but serious heresy to treat satan as equal in power with GOD, to give him more attention than he deserves. GOD alone is Creator and Redeemer. satan and his fallen angels, though vested with limited authority until the final judgment, are trapped in this space-time world with mankind. 


We have a way of escape; the devil does not. Only the LORD GOD stands outside of, and above, time. He alone is Deity, worthy of worship. Gaze at GOD, but only glance at the devil. Don't become distracted!

Focus your prayer time on GOD, not on your enemy. 


The more you see GOD on the throne, the more authority you will have when you pray. GOD owns all authority. We have none, apart from Christ in us. We only have GOD's authority when He delegates it to us, with a specific command, that commissions us. Using authority casually can produce casualties. 


Know that your enemies have no power to hurt you if you believe in GOD. 


Pray for them and forgive them for any pain they have caused you.
