ABILITY AND AUTHORITY: Submit yourselves therefore to God. How do you do that ? By putting the Word of God first in your life. Resist the devil, how do you do that ? By taking the Word of God speaking to the storms of your life, and he will flee from you (James 4:7). Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour; whom resist steadfast in the faith (1 Peter 5:8--9). The Word of God is the object of your faith ! When Satan and his demonic angels comes against you use the Word and the name of Jesus, use the authority Jesus gave you. God is not going to do it for you. The power of binding and loosing is not in heaven; it is on earth--- and it is yours. Jesus gave believers authority to preach the gospel, healed the sick; cast out demons, and raise the dead. The Angels can't preach the gospel. In the 10th Chapter of Acts where Cornelius prayed, God sent an angel to talk to him. In essence, this is what the angel said to him: "I can't preach the gospel to you, but I can tell you where there is a man who can preach the gospel. He is staying with Simon the tanner by the seashore. Goal call for Peter. He will come preach the gospel to you and tell you what to do." Have you ever wondered why the Angels didn't preach the gospel to him ? Because, in this dispensation, they do not have that authority. The authority in this earth has been delivered to believers. We have the authority, but we have been praying for God to do the things He has told us to do, such as heal the sick, cleanse the leper, cast out demons, and raise the dead .(Matthew 10:1--8) These things are as mountains before us, and many of you have bought the lie that you are unworthy, but God's ability can perform them. Learn to release God's ability through your speech and your prayers. GET YOUR PRAYING AND SAYING TOGETHER: "For verily I say onto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith " (Mark 11:23). Notice He said, those things which he saith. He didn't say he would have what he hoped for or what he prayed. He said, "He will have what he say." Evidently, your saying can nullify your praying. In other words you're saying can affect your praying ! If you pray one thing and say another, you are going to have what you say, not what you pray. But when you get your saying and your praying together, you have the spiritual force working for you. Jesus said, "Therefore it will work in prayer." (Mark 11:24). This faith principle, a principle of spiritual law, works in prayer; but we have used it in reverse. We have prayed, "Lord, the mountain is getting bigger. I can't get over it. Move the mountain, Lord, it is getting better !" God says, "But son or daughter, I said you can have what you say." "Yes, but, Lord, I have this problem." "But, son or daughter, you can have what you say, even in prayer." "Yes, Lord, but you don't understand. It is getting worse." You have been operating it in reverse gear for some time now and it has caused the mountain to grow bigger. Jesus said you are to speak to the mountain, not pray to God about the mountain. He said, "whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he prayeth ? No, he will have whatsoever he saith. If you don't get your saying in line with your praying, you will be wasting your time.
