"A Door of Authority has Opened
in the Heavenlies"
by Victoria Boyson

 Much
is said in the church today about Christlikeness and we all want to be like Jesus.
But what does Christlikeness really look like? If you examine the life of Christ,
you will see that He was loving and compassionate; but, also, He did not coddle
demons, He rebuked them. When He encountered demonic forces, He took authority over
them. He did not try to reason with them, He just commanded them to leave. He had
zero tolerance for the enemy!
The Terror of Hell!
Wherever Christ went He spoiled the works of darkness and caused chaos in the enemy's
camp. He was relentless against the powers of darkness. Where there was sickness,
He brought healing. Where sin had taken hold, He blasted it with deliverance. No
demon was safe wherever Jesus went, because He took authority over the demonic realm.
Demons trembled when He approached them. He was the terror of hell!
Yes, because of the authority He walked in, hell feared Him and they had every reason
to. Jesus knew who He was and Whose He was!
Jesus lived in the realm of the miraculous; His life was hemmed in by one miracle
after another. He did amazing, incredible things. Wherever He went, blind eyes were
healed, lame men walked, the dead were raised, demons fled, and lepers were cleansed.
He astonished the world and then He set the stage for you and I to walk in the same
power and authority that He did. He prophesied, "Greater works shall [you] do!"
(John 14:12).
Christ's Plan for Us: Greater Works!
He said that we would do even greater works than He did. He wants us to do greater
works; that's His plan for us. It was His idea for us to do great, incredible, amazing
things. He wants us to dwell in the realm of the miraculous. He wants us to cause
as much trouble for the kingdom of darkness as we can.
Where there is sickness, He wants us to bring healing! He does not want us to beg
Him for healings to take place, He wants us to command sickness to leave and healing
to come in its place. And where there is demonic activity, He desires for us to
cast it out. He wants us to tear down, rip apart, and ravage the strongholds of
the enemy.
A Door of Authority
A door to a greater level of authority has been opened in the heavenlies, and the
church must walk through it. No longer should we hang our heads in shame or let
self-pity wear us down. No, we must walk in the authority of Christ! It's time for
the church to operate in the authority that Christ purchased for us with His life.
It is time to walk in true Christlikeness, not false humility, but to truly live
like Christ in every respect.
The enemy has been busy harassing the Body of Christ. He has tried to weigh us down
with accusation and condemnation until we feel weak and incapable. But why has he
done this? What is he afraid of?
He is trying so hard to condemn us and convince us we are powerless, because he
is absolutely terrified of us!!! The thought that we might actually discover just
how powerful we are is horrifying to him, so out of his fear of us he hounds and
harasses us.
What Does the Enemy See When he Looks
at Us?
What does the devil see in us that is so terrifying to him? He sees the righteousness
of God in us (see 2 Corinthians 5:21)! He sees untapped resources of the power of
heaven! He sees the prophecy of Christ looming before him and that, at just the
right moment, the church is going to break forth in the power and authority of Jesus
Christ!
He is petrified of you, beloved. That's right, you may see yourself as insignificant,
but believe me, you are what hell fears! When you stand to your feet, hell trembles.
When you kneel to pray, it panics. And when you speak forth the truth of God in
the authority of Christ, demons run screaming.
Sickness knows it must flee when you tell it to. Death knows you have power to conquer
it. The enemy knows that Jesus Christ has given you the keys to the kingdom to unlock
the power of heaven on the earth. The consumable, ferocious, devouring power of
Almighty God is in your mouth. When you walk in the authority of Jesus Christ and
command the enemy to BACK OFF, they know they must obey you.
For too long we have believed the lies of the enemy - we have tried to co-exist
with him. But we can no longer tolerate the activity of the enemy in our hearts,
minds, bodies, families, churches, cities, and nations.
There are no little saints in the kingdom of God; no second-hand anointings. Each
one of us play an important role in the army of heaven. We must all do our part
in fighting the enemy and take the ground where the Lord has placed us. You are
important to the kingdom of God! He needs you!
"Stick Up for Yourself!"
I recently prayed for a brother in Christ and, as I did, the Holy Spirit spoke through
me, "Stick up for yourself, boy!" The words came with power, and such wonderful
revelation, too. We have to stick up for ourselves; we must not let the enemy get
away with his harassment of us! It is time we stick up for who we are in Christ
and not let the enemy torment us with lies of accusation and condemnation.
It's time for the past to stay in the past! Do not let the enemy get away with reminding
you of it in order to keep you chained to it. Rip off the chains of condemnation
and guilt and use them to strangle him. Make him pay for harassing you and your
loved ones and make him fear attacking you again. You ARE the righteousness of God
in Christ Jesus, and great works shall you do.
I Hate Hell!
I hate hell! I hate hell having access or admittance to any member of the kingdom
of God. I see a child of God as the greatest treasure on earth, and that treasure
belongs to my God! How dare the enemy touch anything that belongs to Him. How dare
he be so bold to think he can bring harm to the bride of heaven. His blatant audacity
inflames me.
Beloved, it is time to get mad at the devil. He has tried to keep us focused on
hating one another, but his onslaught against us must only rally us together to
fight against him, and fight him we must! We must convince him we do mean business.
Saints, we have been too passive with the enemy for too long. No more! Grab hold
of the authority of Jesus, man your battle stations and prepare for war!
Please pray this with me:
Dear Jesus,
I repent for not using the gift of authority that You purchased for me with Your
precious blood. Make me the terror of hell and the joy of heaven. Lord, I thank
you that I will walk in your fearless faith. And may I cause as much harm to the
kingdom of darkness as it has caused me!
In Jesus' name, AMEN!
