Your Legal Authority

“Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” 
Luke 10:19(KJV)

The word power in our opening scripture is the Greek word 'exousia' it refers to delegated power or delegated influence. It also means rights, privilege, authority or jurisdiction.

This means that when Jesus said, “…I give unto you power…” It meant that Jesus was authorizing them, which means He was giving them the legal authority or capacity to be able to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy.

I want you to know that serpents and scorpions are symbols of satan. For instance in Revelations 20:2 satan is called, “…that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan,…” This means that Jesus has given unto everyone of us the legal authority and capacity to trample under foot that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan.

Therefore child of God live your life with this consciousness that satan, the devil is under your feet because you have been authorized to tread on serpents and scorpions, this means that no matter the number of devils assigned against you, you can walk over them.

CONFESSION
Dear Father I thank you for giving me the legal authority and capacity to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy. Therefore I declare that all devils are my subject in Jesus Name.
