This is for the Christians who are reading:
In Job 8:4 you see Job's friends trying to reconcile how Job could have lost his children - they perished when a tornado hit the four corners of the house they were in - this onslaught of Satan was hidden from their eyes because they had not realized that God had removed the hedge of protection from over Job and his family at Satan's request. Read the entire book of Job for understanding of the story. At that time - Jesus had not yet gone to the cross - the authority of the believer today is this - Jesus said, It is finished. Therefore, when the Christian comes under attack - be it property they own is in peril, a home - whatever - the authority of the believer is complete in that it is ALL Authority over the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means harm the believer. This is God given authority - by whose power? The Power of Jesus Christ name - the Power of the Holy Spirit - the Power of the Spoken Word! This is very important information to the believer because Mueller was not the exception here for walking with God and answered prayer - he was the RULE. You see, this is the Normal Christian life - not some abberation of it! The Normal Christian Life is that the believer walks in His Authority - given him or her in the Name of Jesus Christ!
Consider this. In this nation as well as in every nation around the globe - even the continent of Africa there are occult powers that those who serve Lucifer, witch doctors, Luciferians, satanists, etc would be a part of that said group... Testimony of the ex - satanist Thread would be an example of the powers such people operate in. Although I should add that in his case - he was very high up in the kingdom of Satan and it is not likely most of you have encountered someone of that rank in Lucifers kingdom.
His testimony is that unexpectedly one day Lucifer killed him and he found himself in utter torment - hell - but at that very moment - Jesus Christ came and prevented his death bringing him back to life and causing him to realize that Jesus was more powerful than Lucifer!
Now he knew this already because he openly admits he nor any of his fellow satanists had any power over the Christian who were sold out to Jesus Christ and living holy and clean lives - praying in the Holy Spirit - against those ones they could do nothing - but to the Christians who were living in sin - they were open season for these people - not only the lukewarm and backslidden believer but all those people who were living in the world and did not serve the Lord Jesus. He tells of testimony after testimony of these people being slain by many different incantations, curses spoken over them, etc. This is real. If Satan and his workers are operating on this level of evil powers - how much greater are the servants of the Living God to be operating in the power of the Holy Spirit? The authority of the believer is far, far greater than the powers of Lucifer! Far greater! Why does the church not know this?
Why are we singing songs about barely getting by this week and we're just hanging on by a thread until Jesus wisks out of here? No! That is not the testimony of the Believer! Not at all! We are more than conquerors! When? Right now! Right now!
Do not let the devil lie to you and tell you that you have no authority and are helpless in the face of such events, attacks. There is power in the blood of Jesus! Plead it every day! There is power and authority in the name of Jesus Christ! Use it! Speak the Word every day! Here is a good word for someone reading tonight! Read the book of Isaiah from cover to cover out loud into the atmosphere of your home. Dedicate yourself completely to Jesus Christ and speak His Word out loud into the atmosphere - read all 66 books - start at 11 p.m. and you should be finished by about 6:30 a.m. then pray in the Spirit ( pray in tongues - are you baptised in the Holy Spirit? Pray in tongues! ) and seek the Lord for another hour or two and go to bed. Keep reading the Word out loud until it becomes living, vibrating within your very being. Rise up and take hold of your authority as a believer and start walking in it every day. See how you feel in just 3 days. I promise you. You will be soaring like an eagle. Soaring!
