         KNOW ME - A Revelation of Our Authority  in Christ


It's on My heart, saith the Lord, to give My people a greater revelation 
of the authority they walk in as My Children.  Do you not know that even 
the newest babe in Christ has enough spiritual authority in My Name to 
decimate the armies of darkness, IF THEY BELIEVE THEY DO!! Think what 
those among you who are mature in Me can accomplish when you learn to 
harness My authority. So pay heed to My words. I will unlock the keys to 
My authority and power so that you will have dominion over the enemy.  

To be able to stand in My authority and wield My sceptre you must first 
know Me, not superficially but deeply, intimately. The enemy trembles in 
terror at those who know Me and walk in My authority. It is not enough 
to use the Name of Jesus unless you first know Me. All authority has 
been given to Me and I choose to release it through you. To those whom I 
give this authority, you are My representatives on the earth - My 
kingdom builders. Learn these principles well for I have need of those 
who can be trusted with the surpassing greatness of My power. Learn well 
that you will be ready to be deployed to conquer nations and possess the 
land.

Pick up the sword of the Spirit and start slashing through the layers of 
darkness over the nations, the cities, the peoples. My light and My 
truth will overcome the darkness.  To you who know Me will I give My 
authority and exousia power. I call you overcomers. It is not a light 
thing to be entrusted with this. Let My Spirit teach you to be wise and 
not foolish with it. The stakes are high.  How satan laughs at My 
children who do not appropriate their inheritance, who do not grasp the 
spiritual authority they could be walking in. 

May you lay siege to the devil's kingdom from this day forward. May you 
march into the enemy's camp and bring back with you the sweet spoils of 
victory. Let not My saints tremble in fear at the power of the enemy, 
but let the demons run screaming from them, at My power displayed in My 
saints, those who have a relationship with Me. Go now!! There's work to 
be done.  Do not fear for (Luke 10:19 NIV) "I have given you authority 
to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the 
enemy; nothing will harm you."
