1. Faith and Expectation: The Foundation of Authority
Matthew 8:16: Jesus cast out spirits with His word—authority was exercised through His tongue.
Faith is the substance of what you expect. Every time you engage faith, you're stepping into an encounter moment.
What you expect and declare is what God confirms. (Hebrews 11:1)
2. The Tongue: Seat of Spiritual Authority
Luke 21:15: “I will give you a mouth and wisdom…”
After salvation, your tongue becomes a channel for enforcing kingdom authority.
Proverbs 18:21: “Life and death are in the power of the tongue.”
Revelation 5:10, Ecclesiastes 8:4, Matthew 8:8-13: Authority responds to spoken declarations.
Do not say what you don’t want to see—your tongue programs your future.
3. Kingdom Authority Operates Through Spoken Words
Jesus spoke and things changed:
Luke 8:49-51 – Raising Jairus’ daughter
John 11:43-44 – Calling Lazarus out
Mark 2:11, Luke 4:33-36 – Healing and deliverance through words
Matthew 5:17, John 16:2-4 – Teaching and correction through words
4. Submission: The Path to Command
Only those under authority can command authority.
Matthew 8:8-10 – The Centurion understood this.
Acts 10:13, 1 Corinthians 6:21: Submission aligns us with divine command.
Matthew 26:39-44: Jesus modeled submission to the Father’s will.
Obedience earns spiritual authority (Philippians 2:9, John 10:16-17).
If you can't be commanded, you’ve lost command (John 5:30, John 8:29).
5. Resurrection: The Core of Believer's Authority
1 Corinthians 15:14-17: Without resurrection, our faith is vain.
Acts 5:15, Romans 8:35, Colossians 3:1-4: Our authority is validated by His resurrection.
Resurrection opens our eyes to the truth (Luke 24:45).
6. The Power of the Spoken Word
Ecclesiastes 5:6, Mark 11:23, Matthew 12:34-37: Words are powerful, they create realities.
Your words are seeds – Genesis 8:22, Romans 10:12.
What you are saying is what you are setting up – for your future, your environment, your destiny.
7. Load Your Heart with the Word
Colossians 3:16, Luke 6:45: Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
Deliberately eliminate negative vocabularies that do not align with destiny.
James 3:5-8: The tongue is small but powerful—either like fire or poison.
Your words can either build up or tear down the work of your hands.
8. Practical Pathways to Word-Loaded Authority
Pay attention to reading and meditation – 1 Timothy 4:13-15, 2 Timothy 2:15.
Feed your spirit with the right words – Job 6:25, John 17:18.
What God commands, He funds – Genesis 12:3, Genesis 26:13-14, Haggai 2:9.
Store up the Word—it is your arsenal in times of battle – Proverbs 24:10, Deut. 7:14.
