WALKING IN AUTHORITY

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

—LUKE 10:19

I n the Gospel of Mark, we see a very profound experience unfolding in the lives of the disciples. The Bible says:

And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them. And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them. And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus. And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid. And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves. And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead (Mark 9:2-9).

Though we have referenced this story before, it is important for the purposes of this book to reference it again. We can say many things about this biblical account, but the thing I want to emphasize is the fact that in this mountaintop experience, God the Father affirmed Jesus and commanded the disciples to “Hear Him!” This is very significant because it deals with authority. There is a direct correlation between God’s presence and our authority. In fact, it is in the presence of God that our authority is affirmed. Jesus knew exactly who He was and what He had received from the Father. If we are going to be a people who walk in kingdom authority, we must be a people who know who we are and what we have received from the Father. The next several verses are very important.

And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them. And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him. And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them? And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit; and wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not. He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
