 Okay, so could somebody lead in prayer? Radhna, are you okay, comfortable to lead in prayer? Okay, maybe not Lubega. Okay, just wanted someone else to lead in prayer. Let's pray. Okay, sure. Okay, Jan, go ahead. Father, we want to thank you for this morning Lord Visapadas. Dear hands of God, as a class we come before your presence. We pray to God that you would speak to us today. Help us to understand your word. Help us to walk in the authority that you have called us for. We accept in person and see also to your hands of God. We pray that she'd be able to deliver your word in its fullness. Lord Jesus, we thank you. Bless each one of us God in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Amen. Thank you. Thank you, John. Okay, alright. So Lubega is traveling, that's alright Lubega. So in the last class we talked about the complete victory that the Lord Jesus has won for us on the cross of Calvary. We saw how he has defeated, not just defeated. We saw how he has crushed, expelled, condemned, disarmed, destroyed and made Satan powerless. So we have this complete understanding that our enemy is a defeated foe. Is he still in battle with us? Yes, because his time on the earth is not yet over. So he will continue to target, continue to plot, scheme and cause attacks against mankind in general and particularly God's people or the believers. So he will do that. He will not stop doing it later on in one of our upcoming chapters. We will see that now that he is completely defeated he is all the more eager to cause destruction and damage to God's people. So he in that sense, ready to attack. But the truth that every believer needs to settle in our hearts is that the Lord Jesus has won the victory over Satan. And I have been telling us right from the start, there is no comparison of our Almighty God and Satan in the first place because God is an eternal spirit. He does not have a beginning. He does not have an end. He is the Alpha and the Omega. He is the Creator. He is all powerful. So this is our understanding of God. He is all knowing. He is ever present. He is present in all places at all times. So he is an omnipotent, omnipresent God. And these are terms that we only assign to deity or God. And when you consider Satan, we have talked about the origin of Satan but an angel of God created with utmost beauty, wisdom, anointing and gifts, blessings that God created him to be a worshipper. And we know that pride was something that Lucifer gave place to and that pride led to deception. And that is the reason there was a war in heaven and he was thrown out of heaven. He was cast down and he took with him one-thirds of the angels of heaven who function as those disembodied spirits or demons that we also talked about. So he has a kingdom with some structure which is opposing the kingdom of God. But you see here that Satan is but a created being. So there is no comparison to who God really is. And in addition to all of that, the Lord Jesus has defeated Satan. First of all, he was never a match for God. Now in addition to that, the Lord Jesus has redeemed us and defeated the devil all over again through the cross of Calvary. And thereby, when you think about the devil, yes, there is a real threat. I'm not saying that's why Paul wrote to us and he said, you know, don't be ignorant of the schemes of the devil. That's what Paul told us. So we are not supposed to deny. Sometimes that is the problem with believers that we deny the existence of a devil or we deny the existence of an enemy. Excuse me. So it is equally, you know, what would I say? The term would be it's not beneficial for us to ignore the existence of the devil. We have to acknowledge that there is a devil, but we have to understand, you know, what is his capacity? What is his position? What is the caliber of this enemy that we have? And because of the work of the Lord Jesus, you know, it must be very, very clear for all believers that the enemy is defeated. And so when we talk about Satan and his demons, this very abnormal sense of fear that a lot of believers carry, you know, it's not well substantiated from Scripture. So we can be bold and we can walk in victory. We can know that we are victorious and there is complete mastery over the enemy. We have dominion and authority over the enemy. We have protection from the enemy. We saw how this concept of the enemy having legal rights over us. Yes, if we give him, then he would have. But otherwise, you know, the Lord Jesus is already closed every door for us and therefore he does not have any legal rights. The Lord Jesus has taken care of all those things for us and also, you know, fear of backlashes, fear of as you grow in the Lord or as you grow in the ministry. Having this fears, a lot of people have fears. They say, what if the enemy tries to target me or, you know, keep me in bondage? We must overcome these things. I remember, you know, once, I think it was the very first time that I didn't plan to cast out an even, but I had just gone for prayer. Those days, there were lots of students in the congregation where I used to serve. So I used to visit them often and pray with them. So one such student home that I went to and they had a visitor, like a new student had just come from their country and joined them. So I had gone for prayer. But when I had gone for prayer, little did I know that, you know, there's one student who started manifesting. And it was the scariest experience of my life because the manifestation was, I mean, the person was behaving like a snake, you know, writhing on the floor and moving about. And all these other, there were not many students actually, only a few students were there. And everyone is looking up to me because I was the, you know, at that time serving as a pastor in that local congregation, associate pastor, of course. So they were all looking at me like, okay, I think you have the solution. And there I was really scared. I was like, okay, you know, I know that I have authority over Satan, but what's going on? You know, how do I handle this? It's so disturbing to see the way this particular student is behaving. But thankfully, I knew something about the cross and I knew something about, you know, our authority in Christ Jesus, not fully though. But yes, I took authority and I prayed over that girl and I cast out that demon and the manifestation stopped after sometime. And you know, there was a sense of come, but with this particular girl, she was very, very bound. She'd also come for one of our youth camps and there again, she started manifesting. So there was a lot of work required with that girl. But what I'm saying is like, even as somebody who was serving God, I did not have full idea that I have mastery over the devil. And after having prayed over that girl, I still remember I came back and I was so scared. I was so worried that now that I have cast out demons, you know, are they going to do something to me and my family? And I went back to, you know, our office. On that day, two pastors happened to be there in the office and I still remember. I spoke to both of them and I told them this happened yesterday. I went somewhere to pray and I cast out demons. Do you think these demons will be upset with me and they will do something against me? They said, no, no, please don't think like that. Because we have the authority, you know, we have the power over the enemy and they prayed for me. Because the challenge that I had was actually fear. Remember I said that at the way Job said, whatever I feared, Job 325 has come upon me. So when we fear that Satan will do something because I'm growing in the ministry, I'm serving God, Satan can use that thought to enter and that itself is an open door for him. But we must recognize that, you know, there's always a threat from the enemy, that's nothing new. We will keep overcoming it, you know, and also sort of avert that danger through our intercession and all that. So we can pray protection over ourselves and we don't have to function in fear. So I'm talking from a very practical aspect. As believers and ministers of God, we must overcome this fear of the devil. Be aware of the devil. Yes, that is correct. Because Paul said that be aware but be fearful. What will he do? What will he do? Demons are like this, they're manifestation. No, please, because if we have seen, particularly in the last class, we read verse by verse and we have meditated on those scriptures. Jesus has overcome, Jesus has defeated the enemy. So we are victorious. Now, let's move on to the next chapter here, which is about the basis for our authority and dominion as believers. Before that, let me just have a small pause in case, you know, you have a thought or a question, something regarding the previous topic here about the Lord Jesus being victorious on the devil. So I'll just leave this time open for a few minutes. Hi, Pastor. Hi, yes. Hi, John. Go ahead. Pastor, just the last point we mentioned regarding, you know, having boldness while casting out demons. So let's say, for example, if a person is having doubt. Okay. My question is, can the demon do something to them? Like by casting out if the person is having fear. I'm asking from the other side, can the demon do something to them? Yeah. Okay. Good question, John. When the person is having doubt. So I would say, John, that can the demon do something? The answer would be yes. Okay. What can the demon do? The demon, we will study about this later. Basically, they engage in mind games. So the demon can start playing mind games with the person. Will the demon really do something to hurt the individual? I think no, because, you know, when one is a believer, we already have that protection and we already have that confidence that we can carry. Because I, in somewhere a little bit, you know, I'm having these doubts. It's possible that the enemy starts from mind games and he will, you know, try to up it and see how far he can go with that particular believer. Okay. But then again, it all depends on the believer. If the believer is walking right with God, does it answer your question? Yes, Prasad. The reason I'm asking this is, you know, and especially in Kerala, in Pentecostal background, they always kind of teach, not everyone, but some of them kind of teach, like when you cast out demons, you have to protect your family with the blood of Jesus and they will fight back and things like that. We know that it's not according to the scripture as we read in Luke 19, right? Yes. My question is, so if they have experienced and they are telling no, now people will tell they won't affect you at all, but this is our experience and how do we correct them or how do we, you know, make them understand the importance of the truth? Okay. Yeah, John, I know where you're coming from. So see, it is established scripturally that we are protected. Jesus has won over the devil. So we have the authority and he has given us the authority to cast out demons. Okay. So that is very, very clear. Now, coming to the experience of people where they say that, you know, the demon, it spoke back. It said this, it said that one is John, as I told you, whatever we fear. Now, if this is what they are being told that the enemy will do something, then obviously they have that fear and the fear is an open door and that is why these experiences also happen. So that is one point. The second point, we will come to that later, that is known as the overcomer's lifestyle. Okay. So when I'm engaging in deliverance ministry, this is also very, very key. Jesus, he made this statement, right? Like I said, he has nothing in me. He has nothing in me. So when a believer has opened doors of sin or it could be, you know, anything else that he's in agreement with, with the devil. So fear is another very important anxiety, something, you know, he's in agreement with the lies of the devil. Through that also people have had bad experiences while casting out demons. Now, based on these experiences, they say, no, the devil can attack you. But why did it happen? There were open doors, John, based on what they believed. And so that is why they had those experiences. Does it make sense what I'm telling you? Yes, yes. Yeah. So we don't deny that people have had these experiences. That's simply because of open doors. One is through fear or through something else that they were in agreement with. I was like, just the other day, I was listening to a sermon. And that past, he talked about how he had gone with somebody to cast out a demon. At that time, the other person was teaching this pastor to cast out a demon. So they both had gone. And when they went there, the demons spoke up and said that, how dare you, you, you cast me out. I know what you did yesterday, sort of a thing. So apparently that mentor of this pastor had done something which was not correct. And the devil knew about it and brought it up. Mind games, mind games. See, he's not all knowing, but he knows enough to pull you down. Now, at that moment, I'm just thinking. So in this particular person was saying that, so you should not engage in deliverance. If you're not perfect. But see, my point is, of course, we have to be perfect. We need an overcomer's lifestyle. We should stay away from sin because even that passage that we read in first speedup, where we said that the enemy will not touch, the enemy will not touch us. That is for somebody who walks a righteous lifestyle. When we deal with sin in our lives, when we repent, when we confess and we go to God, we are in a place of protection and the enemy will not touch us. So that is where it is applicable. But if there are open doors that can be something Satan will use, demons can use, but I'm also thinking. Now, even if the enemy is playing mind games, even in that very moment, as a believer, I could say, okay, Lord, if there is an unconfessed sin in my life and that is diminishing or decreasing my authority, I come before you Lord. I surrender, I repent before you. It's not about being scared of the demon or being threatened by what the demon said. You might just want to suspend that deliverance session and say, okay, brother, I'll come back tomorrow. You go back, pray fast, pray before the Lord and ask for forgiveness. Sort it out and come back. You can engage in the ministry. So the point is, Jesus has done it all. And when we are walking in righteousness, in alignment to the character of God, Satan will not have any, we in fact have mastery over the devil. So don't get shaken up because demons have this habit. We'll study later also. They like to shake the boat a little bit. They will accuse. They will taunt. Who are you? How much do you know? Are you the main person? Bring the main person. We have to do these things because they like mind games. They will try to intimidate, accuse us and we must be aware of it. We must be like, okay, bring it on. I know where you're coming from. I know how to deal with this. So John, just to make a little more practical so that when we encounter this, then hopefully what we have learned in theory, you will know how to use it in practice. Yeah, I guess, thank you so much. Okay, thanks John. Lupe, I saw your raised hand. Is that for a question or was that by mistake? I don't see it anymore. Pastor, there is one time some years ago, almost 20 years ago I was in church. And one pastor was praying for a demon possessed lady. And the lady started talking, but she was a lady and the voice was for a male. And it told the pastor, before you cast me out, tell us where you were yesterday night at this time. Yeah, yeah. It was so terrible because the pastor started shying away. And it said I will continue talking if you don't move out of my face. The pastor ran away. And the lesson I learnt all these years now is like, if you are ready to pray for a demon possessed lady or somebody, I think you should confess all your sins before and ask for forgiveness and guidance before you attack the devil, because it's great as you said with mind games. It's excellent. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Very true. Yeah, thank you, Lupe, thank you for sharing that with us. And so that's the reason, you know, we need to also maintain a lifestyle of purity and do not be intimidated. Some like what Lupega shared and what I shared, of course those people were guilty of doing those things. Now the demon can say a lie also. Maybe there's nothing wrong, but the demon might want to make it look like you are wrong in front of others. So main thing is don't get scared. Okay, don't like, as long as you know, okay, I have gone before the Lord, I have done my best to confess everything that I know and I'm trying to live a righteous life. You know, the way Jesus said, Satan has nothing in me. So as long as you can say that and you're going out there to cast the devil, for some time he'll play all these games. Don't back off. Be strong, keep using your authority. Okay, keep using your authority. Sooner or later the demon has to come out. Okay, so yeah, just an encouragement there in practice and just because Satan plays these mind games. The other thing that happens to believers is everyone gets very scared and they don't even want to take that leap of faith. They say, what if, what if he say, demons say something. So, you know, we shouldn't go to that extreme also. In fact, we can be prepared. There can be mind games here. You know, there can be manifestations here. So, but I'm not getting distracted. So that is his key thing. Distract, distract this person who's standing in front of you. Don't get distracted. No. So in those moments, we'll see the, there is one full chapter on steps of deliverance. What we encourage is you could just begin to speak the truth of God's Word and say, you know, Satan, Jesus has defeated you on the cross 2,000 years ago. Whatever I said, you know, you have been defeated. You have been expelled. You have been condemned. You have been destroyed. The blood of Jesus protects me. I have been forgiven. So you start speaking the truth. If he's speaking the lies, you start speaking the truth. Okay. He can't take the truth and sooner or later, you will see that, you know, that, that battle comes to an end with the victory of the cross. Okay. So yeah. So that's how we do that in practice. Okay. If there are no more questions, we will move on here to the next topic here, which is on the authority and the dominion of the believer. So the first basis on which we have authority and dominion would be through redemption through redemption. So we have what we call as redemptive authority. We will also study a few more aspects for the basis for our authority, but, you know, one by one, which would be inherited authority, positional authority, delegated authority. Okay. So these are all reasons why we have authority. So we'll look at it in depth. So the first one, redemptive authority. This authority we have because the Lord Jesus became the sacrifice and the one who shed his blood for our redemption. So what is redemption? Redemption is to buy back usually from bondage or slavery. Many of our nations, you know, the participants on this class, you would relate to this, you know, we've had freedom struggles and people have paid a price to see the nation, you know, come back under their own people, you know, from, let's say, there was a foreign rule over, you know, many, many of the nations, but there was a struggle and there was a price which was paid for freedom. Okay. So that is the idea of redemption. Now when we look at what the Lord Jesus has done, he paid for our earthly as well as our eternal freedom, redemption through his own body. Revelation 12, 11 says, and they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony and they did not love their lives to death. So as a sign of that redemption, as an act of that redemption where the Lord Jesus hung on the cross and he died a very painful death for us, there was also the shedding of the blood of Jesus. Now if we look at the Old Covenant and the Old Testament practices, we see that God had instituted, excuse me, the shedding of blood. If you go back to the book of Leviticus, it says that the shedding of blood is necessary for the atoning of sins. Atoning is to cover, to cover sins. So the shedding of blood is very, very important. So the Old Covenant, people under the Old Covenant, they practiced this. They used to take animals and those pure animals. There was an entire criteria of what kind of animals should be sacrificed. So they would be taken and their blood would be shared for the price for sin to be paid. And that is how through the shedding of blood, throughout that entire time, after these laws were set for the children of Israel, they practiced it until the Lord Jesus came as that perfect and complete sacrifice. So the book of Hebrews talks about it, that once and for all, he became that sacrifice for us. And now that the Lord Jesus has paid the price by the shedding of his own blood, the blood of the Lamb, what Lamb are we talking about? The Lord Jesus is that perfect Lamb of God. John the Baptist said, behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world. So Jesus has become that Lamb for us and his blood has been shed. Now the blood of the Lamb speaks of what? Our redemption. The shed blood of the Lamb talks about my freedom from sin, from Satan, from sickness, from oppression, from the works that the enemy is doing in circumstances, situations. When I talk about the blood of Jesus, the enemy has to tremble. The reason is the blood is the symbol or the sign of my redemption. So that is why here in this scripture, Revelation 12, 11, it says they overcame by the blood of the Lamb or the understanding of what the blood of Jesus has done for us. So when I recognize that, oh, the blood of Jesus has set me free. And remember, we talked about how we have been translated from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of Jesus Christ, the kingdom of light of the Son of God. So through redemption, I also belong to a new kingdom. Or let me put it this way. I am the redeemed of the Lord. So there are things that are applicable to the redeemed, which are not applicable to the un-redeemed. So when I am redeemed, I know that my spirit is redeemed. I know that my soul is redeemed or my mind, will, emotions, they are redeemed. My body is redeemed. All my possessions are redeemed. My family is redeemed. So the equation has changed now because I am the redeemed of the Lord. A price has been paid for my freedom. Now just take, for example, if tomorrow your neighbor comes to your house and says, it just starts, you know, switching off your laptop and, you know, rolling up the cable and, you know, sort of packs up your laptop and says, I am taking it to my house. Would you be quiet? Obviously no. All of us would revolt. We would fight and say, how can you come to my house and take my possession? It belongs to me. Now if your neighbor asks the question, how can you say it belongs to you? You know, if we have a bill or something, we might show that. We have some proof to say, this is my laptop. I'm using it for whatever, you know, five years now. How can you take my laptop? It belongs to me. It's the same thing. When I say, whenever you say, I am the redeemed of the Lord, this is the understanding. I belong to God. I belong to the kingdom of God. And thereby, when Satan comes to stake claim, not anything. He tries to stake claim on my health. He tries to stake claim on my mental peace. He tries to stake claim on my finances. I can say, hello, I am the redeemed of the Lord. I belong to God. I belong to God's kingdom. Nothing of me belongs to you. So you cannot use the term trespass. Trespass is when my home has a boundary. It has a boundary wall. If you're coming in, coming directly from the gate with permission, you cannot, you know, leap off the wall and come because that's like a thief. You are trespassing. If you try to enter without permission. So when I say, I am redeemed, that's what it means. I completely belong to God. You and I completely belong to God. Our lives belong to God. So now that we've understood through the blood of Jesus, the blood speaks of my redemption. And every time I bring up the blood, the enemy doesn't like it because he understands that you are now part of another kingdom. You don't belong to him. He cannot play his games with you. Okay. Now that, you know, we've understood what redemption is, let us also recognize that as people who are part of a new kingdom, there is an authority that we carry. And this authority, this power has been given to those who belong to the kingdom of God. Believe us. We've seen Jesus say, all authority on heaven and earth is mine and I give it to you now. So we have authority over sin, sickness, poverty, any action, any work of the devil. And this is what we call as redemptive authority. Redemptive authority by virtue of belonging to the kingdom of God through the sacrifice of Jesus, through the shed blood of Jesus. I have been given authority. So, in other words, you can say, when we go against the devil, I go with the authority of the kingdom that I belong to. Now, when, let's say, I'm just, again, just a simple example for us to understand. If I go to a certain nation, there is, if they have cleared my visa and all that, I still have the backing of the nation that I'm from and the permission and the benefits that come from that nation. So, I go with that authority. I do have some authority to enter another border because I'm not from nowhere, I have the authority of that particular nation. So, in the same way, when I go before the devil and we were talking that the enemy likes to taunt and he likes to ask us, make us doubt, who, after all, who are you? That kind of a thing. What is your experience? Every time we have doubts like that, just tell yourself, I have redemptive authority just by virtue of the fact that I belong to the kingdom of God. Devil, I'm coming against you with the authority of the kingdom that I belong to. Amen? So, we need that understanding. I am redeemed and I carry redemptive authority because I am coming to you from the opposite kingdom. Kingdom of darkness. I'm coming to you from the kingdom of light and you have no reason to linger around. I command you to leave Jesus' name because I have redemptive authority. So, in our notes, this one statement, it's put so beautifully. It says, everything Satan gained through the tree in the garden of Eden. So, through one tree, he gained access. He lost the tree on Calvary. So, the Lord Jesus, he paid the prize in full and through one man, sin came into the world, but through one man, redemption also came into the world. And now, those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, we are redeemed and carry the redemptive authority. So, the blood of Jesus, we generally just put it as the blood of Jesus. But when you say the blood of Jesus, remember, understand redemption. So, this whole thing of redemption comes back to us and that is why the mention of the blood of Jesus is like a war cry. It proclaims the redemptive authority that you and I carry. Now, when it comes to some of these sessions of casting out demons, believe us understand that there is power in the blood of Jesus. We sing about the blood of Jesus. But also, unfortunately, sometimes we don't have a deeper understanding of the blood. It's just we might say, I overcome by the blood of Jesus. I overcome by the blood of the Lamb. And there's no understanding of that. And so, when there's no understanding of that, we don't really gain fully from it, from the power of that word. So, I mean, I've seen once we had gone, again, most of my experiences are mission trips only. So, one mission trip and it was a session of casting out demons. And in that session, I, okay, I'm just wondering if okay, all right. In that session of casting out demons, there were good believers there and everyone was when the demons started manifesting, I noticed all those believers just started saying, blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus, as if, you know, like a continuous chant, blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus. Non-stop they were going on within and I was wondering like, okay, that's good, blood of Jesus, the mention of the blood of Jesus, but how is it helpful, you know, to, like, chant it constantly. You see, it's good. It's really good. But, we are just saying, blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus, to cover up our fear. Then, you know, it's not required, isn't it? If you fully understand what the blood has done and we apply authority on account of it, then it is beneficial and useful to simply say, blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus may not really be necessary. Okay, so, yeah, let me just stop with that. Any thoughts, anything to contribute from your side about redemptive authority, blood of Jesus. So, when we talk about the blood of Jesus, it's important for us to, you know, people also say apply the blood. So, how do we do it in a practical sense? Understand what the blood of Jesus means and what we have talked about today is redemption. But, if you go back and study about the blood of Jesus, there is so much more, you know, like the blood of Abel. It speaks a better word than the blood of Abel for us. So, the blood has, in that sense, set us free, justified us like the blood which was applied, you know, during the Passover when the children of Israel, left Egypt and moved to find the promised land, it speaks of our protection because that time the blood was applied to protect the children of Israel. So, things like that can study about the blood more and more and with that understanding, when we pray the blood, apply the blood, you know, it really makes a lot of sense and difference. Okay. So, Sitkenu has a comment here. He says, same thing happens whenever the demon possess man manifests, just aunties in the church start shouting blood of Jesus. Okay. So, yeah, Sitkenu, I think they believe in the power of the blood, but more than just shouting it like that, it's more important to understand it. Does it make sense, Sitkenu? Yes, ma'am, thank you. Yeah, sure. Right. Okay. All right. So, that's about our redemptive authority. Now, let's go to the next one here, which is inherited authority. Okay, our authority, as the name suggests, very easy to understand. Something that you get by inheritance as sons and daughters. So, this is to do with us receiving authority as an inheritance. So, Colossians 1 and verse 12, maybe somebody can read that for us. Colossians 1 and 12, please. Colossians 1 and 12. Giving thanks to the father who has qualified us to be patekas of the inheritance of the saints in the light. Okay. Yeah. Thank you. So, we have a father and he has qualified us to be patekas of the inheritance of the saints in the light. Okay. So, that very clearly shows us that we also have a close relationship with our God and we have received many things. Inheritance involves a lot of things, but one of the things that we have received is the authority just by virtue of inheritance. So, when my question is, who are you? How could you? How dare you try to cast me out? We can say, I am the redeemed of the Lord. I speak the power of the blood of Jesus against you. We could come against him through the redemptive authority. We could also simply say, I am a child of God. God is my father. I am a son. I am a daughter. I have inherited inheritance. I am inherited. And so, I am coming against you with that authority. Okay. So, in this manner, just have that understanding that now we are children of God. Again, the passage from Romans 8 verses 16 through 19 16 and 17. It says, the spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. And if children then heirs. Heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. If indeed we suffer with him that we may also be glorified together. So, not only are we children but we are also heirs. Heirs means those who will receive inheritance of the father. And notice this joint heirs with Christ. So, the kind of inheritance that is promised to Jesus similar. We also have a similar inheritance and when we talk about being an heir in this case, if we have an actual family and then our parents inheritance, we are quite proud of that. But in this case, we are heirs as like a prince and a princess because our father is the king. And so, when we talk about being heirs, it's beyond our natural understanding of being heirs. We are heirs in the kingdom of God and we have the authority of the throne of God so, when I say I am an heir and stand as an heir with authority against Satan, I have the backing of the throne of God. So, I carry that kind of an authority as a son and a daughter. So, I am not just a representative of the kingdom. For example, if let's say there is an official meeting in our state and the government calls for people from different institutions to come and they say, you must send somebody from the management. Our organization cannot send anybody. If it was just a general there is a ceremony and some special occasion anyone can go. Maybe the people in the administration don't have time to go. They say, okay, you go. Somebody, go. Represent. That's different. But if, let's say the government calls for a meeting and you want to send somebody with authority you would send, you know, maybe your CEO or the vice president or the chairman or someone goes there. Not just a representative but somebody with authority. You represent the authority of the institution that you come from. So in the same way when I go before Satan it's not like go somebody from the kingdom has come. It's not like that but I'm standing as a son and a daughter. Think of yourself as a prince or a princess with the backing of the throne of God as an heir of the kingdom with the authority of the kingdom princely authority, you know, authority of an heir you're telling Satan, you can't do this. I come and I come with inherited authority. So alright class, let's just take a break now, 10 minutes and let's come back at 11 a.m. and we will complete the rest of the sections here. Alright, thank you.
