The Believers Authority

May 17, 2026    Senior Pastor John Guillory

This powerful teaching takes us deep into the reality of our spiritual authority as believers, revealing a truth that many Christians have never fully grasped: we are not meant to live as victims, constantly begging God to intervene in situations where He has already given us dominion. Drawing from Ephesians 1 and Genesis 1, we discover that the same resurrection power that raised Christ from the dead now resides within us. We learn that Jesus is seated at the right hand of God—the place of authority—and remarkably, we are seated with Him in heavenly places. This isn't just theological language; it's our present reality. The teaching challenges us to stop asking God to do what He's already empowered us to do. When God created humanity, He blessed us with dominion over the earth, and through Christ's victory at Calvary, that authority has been fully restored. The Holy Spirit within us waits for our spoken words to give Him assignments in our lives, just as He hovered over creation waiting for God's command. This message calls us to move beyond simply knowing about Jesus to actually exercising the delegated authority He's given us over the enemy, over circumstances, and over every challenge we face. It's time we stop being destroyed by lack of knowledge and start walking in the victory that's already ours.
