Sermon Overview
Reidhead explores the "Ascended Position" of the believer, seated with Christ in heavenly places. He argues that we have a "Ministry of Authority" to enforce the victory of the Cross against the prince of this world. This authority is not based on human strength but on the "Name of Jesus" and a life that is fully submitted to His Lordship.
Key Principles
Legal Basis: Exercise spiritual authority based on your legal "seat" in Heavenly Places, not your feelings.
Enforcing the Victory:Use the Name of Jesus to "enforce" the defeat of Satan that was accomplished at the Cross.
Submissive Heart:Realize you only have authority over the enemy to the degree you are under the authority of Christ.
Defensive Stand: Treat spiritual warfare as "standing your ground" in Christ’s finished victory rather than "fighting for" victory.
Sword of the Spirit: Use the "Word of God" as your primary weapon; speak the Truth into spiritual darkness.
Corporate Authority:Join with the local body to exercise "binding and loosing" authority over your city.
Avoiding Pride: Guard against the "pride of power"; stay in the dust of humility while walking in authority.
