(Act in His Name, Not in Your Strength)

TO THE BIBLE
Mark 16:17 NKJV
“And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons…”
LET’S TALK
At first, standing before her noisy classmates felt overwhelming. Some were older, taller, and dismissive. But once she wore the badge and spoke with confidence, everything changed. She was no longer just another student; she was the class prefect, backed by the school’s full authority. They obeyed her, not because of her size or strength, but because of the position she carried.
When exercising authority in Christ, you do so in His Name, not your own. The focus is on Jesus. He didn’t say, “These signs shall follow them that believe they can do it.” Rather, He said they would “follow them that believe”; believe what? The Gospel.
As a Christian, you’re qualified, empowered, and authorised to cast out devils, heal the sick, cleanse lepers, and raise the dead. It’s not about your ability but the authority of the One who appointed you. His Name is Jesus, and He has all power in heaven and on earth.
He declared, “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth” (Matthew 28:18 KJV). On that basis He commissioned us: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations…” (Matthew 28:19 KJV). You represent Him. He has given you the legal authority—the power of attorney—to act in His stead. When you make decrees in the Name of Jesus, demons and circumstances obey as though Jesus Himself were speaking.
Because you’re the believing one, with Jesus as Lord of your life and eternal life in your spirit, you don’t need more faith to cast out devils; simply exercise the authority Christ has given. Like the traffic officer at a busy junction, vehicles stop at his signal, not because of his strength but because of the authority vested in him.
You sit in Jesus’ seat; you act by His authority. All creation, animate and inanimate, is commanded to obey Him: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him” (Matthew 17:5 KJV). And as Scripture declares, “…as he is, so are we in this world” (1 John 4:17 KJV). Blessed be God!
GO DEEPER
Matthew 28:18-20
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Luke 10:19
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.
John 14:13-14
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
SPEAK
I’ve been qualified, empowered, authorized and accredited to cast out devils, heal the sick, cleanse the lepers and raise the dead. My dominion over Satan and the principalities of darkness is absolute because I live in and by the authority of the Name of Jesus. I’m a victor now and always. Amen.
