Standing in Spiritual Authority

Spiritual authority is not reserved for pastors or prophets—it's the birthright of every believer in Christ. Yet many Christians live as if they are powerless against the enemy, retreating in fear rather than standing firm in the authority Jesus has already given.

Think of David before he fought Goliath (1 Samuel 17). He was young, inexperienced in battle, and unarmed compared to the giant—but he stood in authority, not because of his size, but because he understood who sent him. He said, “I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty.” That’s what spiritual authority looks like.
