All Authority in Christ

Jesus said, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me (Matthew 28:18). His power is demonstrated through kingdom authority. In the name of Jesus, kingdom authority is power through the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:6-8). Kingdom authority is for all who confess Jesus is Lord (1 Corinthians 12:3).

All authority works through our Lord Jesus Christ. He came into this present evil world to defeat sin, Satan, and death, through the cross and the resurrection. The power of evil is broken in Jesus name. Yet, the victory has not come in all of its fullness. The warfare rages, as the kingdom of God in Christ advances. However, the complete defeat of evil will only come at the return of Christ in power and great glory (Luke 21:27; 1 Corinthians 15:24-28).

All authority is demonstrated through the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17). We enter the kingdom by faith in Jesus Christ. Only through the authority of our Lord Jesus can we break free from the control of the evil one (1 John 5:18-20). Those who are born again enter the kingdom of God through the gospel of Christ (Romans 1:16; 1 Thess. 1:5).

All authority is experienced in Jesus name through prayer. Jesus taught us to pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:9-10). Kingdom authority brings God's will now through Jesus name. Yet, at the return of King Jesus, kingdom authority shall bring the final and total victory forever. That means God's will in Christ shall be done throughout the earth as it is in heaven.
