THE BELIEVERS

AUTHORITY
You are encouraged to get a copy of these books The Believers Authority by
Kenneth E. Hagin and The Believers Authority by Andrew Wommack.
The only fight the Christian is called upon to fight is the good fight of faith. If we
are in any other fight we are in the wrong fight Kenneth E. Hagin
I am more and more convinced every day I live that very few who are saved by the
grace of God have a right conception of how great their authority is over darkness,
demons, death, and every power of the Enemy. It is a real joy when we realize our
inheritance Smith Wilgglesworth

Eph 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh
and blood, but against principalities, against
powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this
age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the
heavenly places.
The Lord has delegated His authority to the
church and we are to exercise that authority over
the devil. Luke 10: 19-20, Math 28:18-20

 SUMMARY

In summary every believer is seated in

heavenly places in Christ Jesus far above all
principalities and powers.
We have authority over the devil and all
principalities and powers and are called to do
the works Christ did.
The journey is a continuous one of learning and
growing in the knowledge of Gods word and
the truth contained therein. And more
importantly receiving these truths in our
hearts.
Awakening Our Spiritual Consciousness and Responsibility as Christians -

 SUMMARY

Our ability to exercise our authority effectively

through prayer is a function of both the level of
our faith and how we exercise the love of God
that has been shed abroad in our heart.
We are called to reign in life as Kings with the
love of God that has been shed abroad in our
heart in service to all and in humility so that we
may not fall into pride.

Awakening Our Spiritual Consciousness and Responsibility as Christians -

 SUMMARY

Three keys to successfully exercising our

authority are the Holy Spirit, The Word and
Love.
When we learn to pray then we are qualified
to rule Derek Prince

RECEIVING THE GIFT OF SALVATION

Are you saved? Have you received Gods gift of

salvation (Eph. 2:8)? I encourage you to accept the
Lords precious gift of salvation which is freely
available to the whole of mankind.
Faith in Jesus Christ is primarily what is required to
be saved. The bible tells us for all have sinned and
fallen short of the glory of God (Rom 3:23) and the
wages of sin is death (Rom 6:23). As a result, the
whole of mankind deserves to be separated from
God eternally (Rom 6:23).
Awakening Our Spiritual Consciousness and Responsibility as Christians -
Jesus is Lord 29
RECEIVING THE GIFT OF SALVATION

However, our Father loves us dearly and as such he

sent His only begotten son to die in our place
(John 3:16-17) so that we may be saved and has
through Christ reconciled us back to Himself (2nd
Corth 5:18).
It is not His desire that any should perish but that
all should come to repentance (2nd Pet 3:9) and
accept His precious gift of salvation. If you would
like to accept this gift please say the following
confession.

RECEIVING THE GIFT OF SALVATION

Father I come to You in the name of the Lord Jesus

Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is the
son of God and that He died for my sins and was
raised from the dead for my justification according
to the scriptures. I believe that because of His
death, burial and resurrection, I am set right with
God. So I receive Him(Jesus) in my heart as my
saviour and confess Him with my mouth as my
Lord. ThankYou, Lord.
