We bring you today’s message from Pastor Creflo Dollar, which is titled “The Authority of the Believer.” The text is from the book of Matthew 10:1.
Pastor Dollar teaches us that the number one reason for unanswered prayer is that people are asking God to do something that he has given us the power and authority to do for ourselves, and we continue to ask God for the power and authority that he has already given us..
So asking God to do things that he told us to do isn’t going to bring answered prayer to us. God will never answer a prayer to do something that he told you to do, so you can pray about all the trouble in the world and wonder why it seems like God’s answered your prayer; there are some certain things he gave you the authority to do.
Some of us don’t really understand the authority that God has given us as believers; some Christians approach God in prayer as if they don’t have any authority. We have to change and start to know that there are certain things that will never change on this planet if we don’t walk in our authority. We have to know that our fight is not against flesh and blood; it is against principalities, powers, wicked spirits, and rulers of the darkness.
We are fighting a spiritual battle that, if you’re not born again, you will not know how to fight. You can’t depend on the unsaved world to handle the issues on Earth. The power belongs to God, but we are authorized and given permission to use that power. We’re fighting the spiritual forces that are behind the issues on this earth, and we have to know how to engage in a spiritual fight and make use of the power and authority that God has given to us.
