We Have Authority - In Jesus' Name

Gen. 1:26 "Then God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.' "
Gen. 3:15 "And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel."
Psa. 8:4-8 "What is man that You are mindful of
   him,
And the son of man that You *visit
   (give attention to or care for) him?
For You have made him a little lower
   than the angels,
And You have crowned him with glory
   and honor.
You have made him to have dominion
   over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet,
All sheep and oxen -
Even the beasts of the field,
The birds of the air,
And the fish of the sea
That pass through the paths of the seas."
Isa. 54:17 " 'No weapon formed against you shall
   prosper,
And every tongue which rises against
   you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of
   the Lord,
And their righteousness is from Me,'
   Says the Lord."

Father what is it I'm missing?
What is it I've yet to see?
In the name of Your Son, Jesus,
Father God, show it to me;

I know I do have dominion!
No weapon formed against me
Shall prosper, says the Lord;
But this is not like it should be.

I take authority by day,
No problem with my belief,
But when the sun goes down at night
My breathing has no relief;

I can drink of anything deadly,
And it will not harm me,
The Bible's Word has proven,
So my faith built into a tree.

Then one day a revelation,
Came to me reading the Word,
I must say the Father's truth,
And then live by what I have heard;

Whether the snake be a viper
Taken up by Paul back then,
Or Satan'd tricky chemicals
The Bible shows how, and when.

We rebuke principalities,
Bind deception, and then fear,
As the precious name of Jesus'
Spirit lives in us right here!

Forgive me my unforgiveness,
Help me let go of the past,
So as I rejoice in Jesus,
My life fills with peace at last.
Jer. 33:3 "Call to Me, and I will answer you and show you great and *mighty (inaccessible) things, which you do not know."
Matt. 21:18-22 "Now in the morning, as He returned to the city, He was hungry. And seeing a fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it but leaves, and said to it, 'Let no fruit grow on you ever again.' And immediately the fig tree withered away. Now when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, 'How did the fig tree wither away so soon?' So Jesus answered and said to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, "Be removed and be cast into the sea," it will be done. And all things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.' "
Matt. 28:18-20 "Then Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, 'All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.' Amen."

Show me Father God whatever I can do
To open people's eyes so that they see You;
I'll let them all know Your Bible's Word of faith
Does work for them today in this time of grace.

Teach them through me, Lord, of Your Words of truth,
To let all of Your Spirit's power be cut loose!
Our words are important! Each time that we speak!
We can use Your power, or let Satan reek.

We know Adam gave him authority on earth,
But Jesus won it back with His own rebirth;
Now when Jesus left, He said to everyone,
Preach to every creature, in the name of the Son.

He said there will be signs to those who do believe,
Demons will be cast out, and pain will be relieved;
We will speak with tongues; no deadly drink will kill,
To use the name of Jesus, your life's own cup will fill.

Ask the Father in heaven to forgive all of your sin,
Then let the Word of God put Jesus' Spirit in;
Make sure you get delivered from all iniquity,
Then God's own miracles through your hands you will see.
Mark 16:15-20 "And He said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover.' So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen."
Luke 10:18-20 "And He said to them, 'I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.'"
See (The Book Of Life,
Satan Was Cast Out Of Heaven,
and We Shall Trample On Serpents)
John 14:12-17 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another *Helper, (Comforter) that He may abide with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you."
See (Armor Of God)
2 Cor. 10:8 "For even if I should boast somewhat more about our authority, which the Lord gave us for edification and not for your destruction. I shall not be ashamed - "
