Our Authority Activates God’s Power

Leave a Comment

As humans, we all have the same authority Jesus had, so why aren’t we performing similar healings and miracles today? It’s because we don’t understand that our authority activates God’s power.

God’s Power Enforces Our Authority

How did Jesus perform healings and miracles?

  1. Jesus received guidance from YHWH (God) concerning God’s desires.
  2. As a man, He exercised the same authority we all have.
  3. The Father used His power to do the healings and miracles.

Man’s Delegated Authority

On the 6th day of creation, God made man the ruler over the earth and everything in it.

God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Genesis 1:27-28

Man ruled the earth as God’s delegated authority. The plants and trees of the Garden of Eden fed him, and he named all the animals who were created as his companions.  (Genesis 2:19)

God’s power enforced every word of man’s authority.

Then the Devil caused man to sin, and all of God’s earthly creation became slaves to corruption, death, and decay.  (Romans 8:21) The Devil became the ‘prince of this world’, ruling the fallen nations of mankind through sinful men. (Matthew 4:8,9; John 14:30, 16:11)

Adam didn’t lose his delegated authority when he sinned, but he lost his close relationship with God and the confidence that God would continue to enforce his authority.

Over the centuries since then the Devil enslaved mankind through sin, guilt, and violence. Today, mankind is almost universally ignorant that our authority activates God’s power.

Jesus Broke Free from Sin

But when Jesus, the Son of God, entered creation, He didn’t become a slave to sin. With God as His father, He was able to live a sinless life, even though He was tempted in every way possible. (Hebrews 4:15) Therefore, the Devil had no foothold of power over Jesus. In fact, Jesus exercised His power (as a sinless man) over the Devil.

No one can enter a strong man’s house to steal his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can plunder his house. (Mark 3:27)

The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. (1 John 3:8)

The Kingdom of God

As a sinless man, Jesus exercised His authority over creation. For example: He cast-out demons, healed the sick, cleansed lepers, walked on water, and multiplied 2 fish and a few loaves of bread to feed 5000 hungry men, with 12 baskets of leftovers remaining! (Matthew 14:15-20)

Jesus was exercising the authority God delegated to Adam (and us) on the 6th day of creation. Through Jesus, God showed us His desire to deliver creation from its bondage to corruption, death, and decay.

The miracles Jesus performed demonstrate God’s desire to bless mankind with healing, prosperity, peace, rest, and holiness. They also demonstrated the reality and superiority of His kingdom on the earth.

Our Authority Activates God’s Power

How did Jesus do these miracles? As a sinless man, Jesus didn’t rely on His rank as the Son of God to perform His miracles. He simply needed to apply man’s delegated authority to activate God’s power over creation.

Through prayer and constant communion with God’s Holy Spirit Jesus was totally dependent on guidance from Almighty God—His Father.

Jesus said,

“Truly, truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing by Himself unless He sees the Father doing it. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does.” (John 5:19)

Then, Jesus exercised delegated authority as a man to do whatever the Father showed Him. This authorized the Father to exercise His power on the earth, in mankind’s realm.

So, here are the steps:

  1. Jesus received spiritual guidance from the Father.
  2. By faith, Jesus exercised man’s delegated authority on earth to perform the Father’s guidance.
  3. The Father used His almighty power to do whatever Jesus commanded on earth.

Jesus received guidance and commanded using man’s delegated authority. Then, God released the power to fulfill Jesus’ words. It works the same way for us:

  1. Receive spiritual guidance from the Father.
  2. We use our delegated authority to activate God’s power to accomplish His will.
  3. The Father uses His almighty power to do what we command on earth.
God’s Power Enforces Our Authority

A Simple Example of Authority and Power

This quote is from Andrew Wommack’s excellent teaching on Our Authority Releases God’s Power

“He wants us to take our authority and command His power.

It’s like electricity. The power company generates the power and delivers it to your house. It’s not your power, but it’s under your control. You don’t call the power company and ask them to turn the lights on. No! They won’t do that. They generate the power, but it’s under your command. You simply flip the switch on the wall and command the power to work. Does this mean you are the power source? Certainly not! If you put a light bulb in your mouth, it will never come on. You aren’t the power source, but you are the one in control of what that power does. Plead with the power company all you want, but they won’t flip the switch for you. You have to assume your authority and acknowledge the power is under your command.”

How to Exercise Our Authority to Activate God’s Power

Just like Jesus did:

  1. Receive spiritual guidance concerning the Father’s desires through prayer and constant communion with God’s Holy Spirit.
    1. Since we’re not sinless like Jesus was, the Devil will try to use your consciousness of past sins (shame) to block you from entering God’s presence.
    2. As disciples of Jesus, we’re made holy by His sacrifice. You must learn how to receive forgiveness and enter His presence with a clean conscience. (Hebrews 10)
  2. Then, by faith, use your delegated authority to proclaim the Father’s desire.
  3. The Father will use His almighty power to do what we command.

Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.

(Matthew 6:10)

5 Steps to Divine Healing | Free Download

Leave a Comment

Are there ‘steps to divine healing?’ Why could Jesus heal everyone in some places (Matthew 4:24, 8:16, 12:15, 15:30), but He could only heal a few people in other places? (Mark 6:5) The answer is their ‘unbelief’ prevented sick people from receiving the healing God wanted to bless them with. How can you overcome unbelief and receive the healing God wants to give you?

Steps to Divine Healing

After years of study and practical experience, here are my 5 steps to receive bodily healing from God:

  1. Teach and Correct
  2. Remove Barriers
  3. Replace Fear With Hope
  4. Actively Receive Your Healing
  5. Wait In Faith

This is not a magic formula. Rather, it assumes God loves us and want to heal us, but there are things in our mind (ignorance, unbelief, shame, etc.) that prevent us from receiving God’s healing power. These 5 steps to divine healing will help you identify and remove those hindrances so that you can receive the Living God’s power to heal your physical body.

Step 1: Teach and Correct

Teach the sick person kingdom truths and correct false beliefs. There is a lot of ignorance and wrong teaching about God’s ability and willingness to heal people today. Ask them:

Do You Want to be Healed?

This sounds like a silly question, but it’s not. Jesus asked people, “Do you want to be healed?” (John 5:6, Mark 10:51)

Surprisingly, some people don’t really want to be healed. Two reasons I’ve observed:

  • Getting healed would stop them from getting sympathy.
  • Getting healed would stop them from receiving disability money.

Do you believe God CAN heal you?

As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” After Jesus had entered the house, the blind men came to Him. “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” He asked. “Yes, Lord,” they answered. Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you.” And their eyes were opened.

Matthew 9:27-30

Do you believe God CAN heal you?

Jesus has all authority, in heaven and on the earth

On the cross Jesus said, “It is finished”. At that moment, God forgave all your sins.

Three days later God resurrected Jesus and He is alive now, with ALL authority in heaven and earth (Matthew 10:8, 28:18). He has authority over every sickness, disease, and death itself. (Revelation 1:18) So, yes, He CAN heal you!

Do you know divine healing has already been provided in your salvation?

By His wounds…

“By His wounds we were healed.” (1 Peter 2:24, Isaiah 53:5)

“He bore our sicknesses.” (Isaiah 53:4)

Do you believe GOD WANTS TO heal you?

Jesus healed all who asked Him (Luke 4:40, 6:19)

It’s God’s will for you to prosper and be in health (3 John 1:2)

If you still have any doubts about God’s desire to heal you, watch Andrew Wommack’s free online TV teaching “God Wants You Well.”

Do you believe divine healing is dependent on your goodness, or is it by God’s grace?

If you trust in your goodness you cannot receive anything by faith. In your heart you know you’ve sinned sometime in your life, and your guilty conscience prevents you from standing in God’s holy presence.

But God’s grace is His free gift to us sinners, regardless of our past sins (Romans 5:15-18, 8:11)

Have you internalized God’s forgiveness of your sins?

Many Christians will say yes, but they haven’t applied the blood of Jesus to their conscience. As a result, they still carry guilt and shame for their past sins. 

Ever since Adam and Eve hid from God in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:10), our guilt and shame separates us from our loving heavenly Father.

So, until your conscience is purged of this shame, enabling you to confidently stand in God’s holy presence, you cannot receive anything from God. The key to receiving a clean conscience is in Hebrews chapter 10.

Only by faith in God’s forgiveness, because the Savior’s sacrifice for you, can you cleanse your conscience of guilt and shame.

Step 1 is prerequisite

Completing Step 1 completely is critical to receiving your divine healing. Until you’ve 100% satisfied step 1, there’s no use proceeding to step 2.

I realize some of the questions above are hard, requiring deep introspection, but you cannot take shortcuts past them and expect to receive divine healing.

Step 2: Remove Barriers to Divine Healing

Remove Barriers to Healing. Ask:

  • Are you holding anger or unforgiveness against anyone? (Matthew 18:35, 1 John 4:20)
  • Be honest and search within your heart. Is your conscience convicting you of any sin? (John 5:14) If yes, return to Step 1 above until you cleanse your conscience 100% by faith in God’s forgiveness.

Step 3: Replace Fear With Hope

  • Imagine and ‘see’ yourself feeling great and 100% healed, without your malady. (Mark 5:28, Matthew 9:21).
  • Describe the positive image of your healing; what you see, taste, hear, smell, and feel
  • Replace fear with hope. Get excited about feeling great, 100% healed.

Step 4: Actively Receive Your Divine Healing

  • Since God can heal you, wants to heal you, and has already provided healing by His grace—independent of your goodness— receive and grab hold of your divine healing by faith.
  • Pray, asking the Holy Spirit to give you a supernatural word (rhema) from God’s Spirit as an anchor of faith to receive the healing.
    • Hebrews 11:1 says faith shows us the reality of what we hope for, and it’s the evidence of what we cannot see with our natural eyes.
    • “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word (rhema) of God.” (Romans 10:17).
    • Our God is alive and speaks to us by His Spirit. When He speaks to you, His message is the living, spoken word of God in your spirit. Once you’ve received God’s rhema, you can hold onto this revelation as an anchor, by faith, even though the outer, material world hasn’t changed yet. It will.
  • Ask a Christian elder to anoint you with oil (James 5:14).
  • Speak to the mountain. Command it to be cast into the sea. (Mark 11:23, Matthew 21:21)
  • Have the person declare out loud, “Father, I receive my healing by your power, in Jesus’ name. Thank you.”
  • Test for the manifestation of healing. (Mark 8:24)

Step 5: Wait In Faith

  • Ask for and trust in God’s rhema–the words of the Living God in your heart.
  • Believe and hold tightly to God’s rhema in faith, with thanksgiving and patience, until your body manifests your healing.
  • Continue to see yourself as healed, even if your healing is not instantly manifested.

Conclusion

Why could Jesus heal everyone in some places but He could only heal a few people in other places? It was because their ‘unbelief’ prevented sick people from receiving the healing God wanted to bless them with.

The most common causes of unbelief are:

  • Faulty concepts about God’s ability or willingness to heal you
  • Barriers to faith, especially guilt and shame
  • An attitude of fear instead of hope
  • Lack of faith to actively receive your healing from God
  • Lack of patience

The 5 Steps to divine healing will help you overcome unbelief and receive the healing God wants to give you. If you diligently apply them, replacing your unbelief with faith, God will heal you.
