HAVING AUTHORITY

Dag Heward-Mills

READ: Luke 6:12-19

And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will giv e thee rest.

Exodus 33:14

When you have been with someone, you can speak about the person with authority. The authority comes because you have been with the person. This authority is a manifestation of the anointing on your life. The more anointed you are, the more authority you will have. And the more authority you have, the more powerful you will be.

Some years ago, our church had a problem with the government. Our church had been vandalized and we needed some help. We needed to get close to the highest authority of the land, so we found someone whom we knew was close to the President. I went to his house to explain the problem to him. Every time I saw him in his house, there was an aura of importance around him because this person was always with the President. We believed everything he told us because we knew that he had power. We knew he was close to the real source of power. We were attracted to him because of his authority. It was not his physical strength that attracted us to him.

People received Jesus Christ because they could tell that He had been with the highest of powers. They knew that He had been with the Almighty El-Shaddai. They knew that He had been with Jehovah Rophe. The presence of the Lord around Him came from the fact that He had spoken to the Lord. That presence and the aura that is around you after prayer is a manifestation of the anointing. The anointing for miracles and manifestations of power is found on prayerful people.
