Luke 10:19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Spiritual authority is not rooted in personality, position, or human strength—it flows directly from identity. When we know who we are in Yeshua (Jesus), we begin to understand what has been entrusted to us. Authority is not something we seize; it is something we receive. And once received, it must be exercised with courage, faith, and obedience.
Yeshua declares in Luke 10:19, “Behold, I give you authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means harm you.” This authority is not symbolic — it is real. It is grounded in the victory of the cross and released through union with Yeshua. The enemy resists authority, not because it is weak, but because it is effective.
Walking in authority requires courage. Many believers possess authority but never walk in it because fear silences what faith must speak. Authority must be exercised. It must be spoken. It must be applied. The enemy advances where believers hesitate, but retreats where believers stand firm. Courage is the bridge between authority received and authority released.
Spiritual authority is not arrogance — it is alignment. It flows from submission to God, not dominance over others. It is exercised in humility, anchored in obedience, and empowered by the Spirit. When we stand in our identity, heaven backs our obedience. The authority of Yeshua rests on those who walk in agreement with His will.
The new creation does not live defensively. They do not shrink back in fear or negotiate with darkness. They stand clothed in truth, rooted in identity, and confident in the power of the Spirit. Authority is not reserved for the extraordinary — it is the inheritance of every believer who abides in Yeshua and walks in obedience.
Beloved, rise and take your stand in the authority given to you in Yeshua. Shake off fear and silence every lie that tells you to retreat. You have been entrusted with heaven’s authority — walk in it with courage and faith. Speak when the enemy whispers. Stand when the world shakes. Move forward knowing that the power of darkness has no claim where the authority of Yeshua is exercised. Lift your head, steady your heart, and step boldly into the territory God has given you. You are not powerless—you are authorized. Walk forward now, clothed in identity, backed by heaven, and fearless in love.
