Note:
You cannot exercise authority without knowing authority. Until authority is exercised, God's ability cannot be known. Stop being afraid, because you cannot exercise authority with fear. Authority can only be exercised with boldness. Our responsibility is to speak the word (Matthew 12:37). No matter your circumstances, maintain your stand—everything will turn around. Stop keeping quiet over certain issues—command them to leave.

Message by Apostle IC George:

If you don't exercise authority, there is no need to live on earth. It doesn't matter how long or how much you've prayed; anytime you pray, heaven releases an answer and expects you to take authority over it. It is too late to go back. Israel was in bondage for 430 years. Their problem wasn't physical or spiritual but mental. God must use us if we are to move forward.

If you make the right statement, the instruction you will receive from God is to move forward.

We are called to be sons. There is a difference between sons and children. Sons know authority, and children know ability. God has given His sons authority to stop the ability of the soldiers. Authority is the staff that controls the rival. Anytime you understand authority and exercise it, you have become a son (Hebrews 11:40). If you don't know how to exercise authority, the things on earth become useless.

Discover and Identify the Source:

It takes your loyalty to an authority to be under authority. The source of our authority is in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The opposite of darkness is the absence of light. Jesus Christ acquired the authority and dedicated it to us. So if you know Jesus, you know the authority (Psalm 78:9, Hosea 13:13).

How to Exercise Authority in Christ:

1. Identity: Know your identity. You must know that you are a son.

2. Faith: Have faith.

3. Speak God's Word.

4. Live a Life of Integrity.

5. Take Charge of Your Life: If you don’t speak it, you can't get it. It’s not pride to see where you’re going. The essence of seeing it is to know where you're going.

Conclusion (Jeremiah 1:5-12, Numbers 14:2):

If you must move forward, you must see where you're going. With God, there is no retreat and no surrender.

Picture it to capture it.
