Episode 685 - Book Review: I Give You Authority
This is the second time I’ve read the book, I Give You Authority by Charles Kraft, it was the number one book I read last year, completely changed my life. It is a religious book that describes our authority over the spiritual realm. Some of you think this is a religious podcast, it is not; you host is religious. The podcast is not.
In the book, Charles Kraft writes, Jesus’ intimacy with the Father enabled Him both to maintain His authority and to get God’s instructions for what the Father wanted Him to do each day.
The devil doesn’t want us to discover who we are in Christ. If we are unsure of who we are in Christ, we are powerless against the devil’s control.
Consider how often Jesus prayed, a lot right?
Consider how many people were healed from Jesus, a lot right?
Now consider this: Jesus never prayed for healing. He didn’t ask God to heal people because He had already been given the authority. He spoke, demons flee, and people were healed.
So many times, Hollywood portrays defeating demonization through saying the right words in the form of a formula. Charles Kraft writes, the power is in your relationship with Jesus and understanding the authority He has given you.
