We have authority over all the power of the enemy.

Luke 10:19 (ESV) "Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you."

I studied this portion of scripture and found that scorpions were symbolic of demonic forces, and snakes were symbolic of dangers. So what the word of God is telling us is, we have authority over demonic forces, and dangers. We have nothing to fear. All of the month of November we will be talking about  "No Fear" at Restoration Church International. I pray if you do not have a church you will visit us and even if you have a church you will visit our web site archive and here these messages.

From the definition above we can see that we have the power and the right to give orders, make decisions and enforce obedience. We have absolute control over the dangers, and demonic forces that, occur against us and the lives, and properties that we have responsibility over. This is "Good News" which is what the word "Gospel" means. 

So why are we not seeing this in our lives? I believe it is because we doubt the word of God, and we fail to trust God. When Moses failed to trust God he called the people rebels, and struck the rock that he was supposed to speak to, two times. 

When we are in the presence of the Lord and His glory shows up when we get a word or order from the Lord, we must obey the word fully. Oh, we may get water for the sake of the people, but it may cost us the privilege of entering the Promise Land ourselves.

​Trust and obey for there is no other way to be happy in Jesus, than to trust and obey.
