Today’s song is “Authority” performed by Stars Go Dim
“I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.”
Luke 10:19 (NIV)
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.”
1 Peter 5:8-9 (NIV)
“You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.”
1 John 4:4 (NIV)
“This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Mathew 6:9-10 (NIV)
The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign for ever and ever.”
Rev 11:15 (NIV)
Today’s song is part of a two-part post on Authority in Jesus’ Name. The first part was written two weeks ago and entitled “I Speak the Name of Jesus.”
Today’s song is called “Authority” (In the Name of Jesus) and is performed by Stars go dim.
With the ever-increasing upside-down world we seem to live in, many of us have heard from Christian preachers/teachers about taking back authority to advance Christ’s kingdom here on earth. To speak the name of Jesus over our Government/ Economy/ Education/ Family/ Religion/ Arts, entertainment/ and Media. This has been recently taught as the “Seven Mountain Mandate;” if you are unfamiliar with it, you may be interested in researching “The Seven Mountain Mandate.” The idea is to reclaim all seven mountains of influence that Satin and his nasty crew have captured over the last decades. Preacher/prophet Johnny Enlow (one of my favourites) has a fantastic teaching on this. He (as well as other preachers on this topic) teaches that these mountains can, through authority by His sons and daughters, be operated by God’s standards, and thus, Christ’s Kingdom be established on earth as it is in heaven.
Imagine if God’s standards were adhered to in Government, Economy, Education, Family, Religion, Arts/Entertainment/ and Media.
Imagine…
God as King in the Mountain of Government
God as Provider in the Mountain of Economy
God as Teacher in the Mountain of Education
God as Abba Father in the Mountain of Family
God as Redeemer in the Mountain of Religion
God as Creator in the Mountain of Arts/Entertainment
God as Communicator in the Mountain of Media
We would truly have Christ’s Kingdom on earth as in Heaven.
In Christ,
Lou-Anne

Authority
Lyrics
You move the mountains and you split the sea
You called the dead man up to live and breathe
The same authority’s alive in me
So I’ll move the mountains, and I’ll split the sea
I speak to the lies
Truth in the name of Jesus
I speak to the fear
Hope in the name of Jesus
I speak to the brokenness
Wholeness in the name of Jesus
In the name of Jesus
When I’m surrounded and I cannot stand
When insecurities are creeping in (are creeping in)
I won’t bow down to any fear of man
‘Cause He who is within me is the great I am
I speak to the lies
Truth in the name of Jesus
I speak to the fear
Hope in the name of Jesus
I speak to the brokenness
Wholeness in the name of Jesus
In the name of Jesus
Something happens when we sing Your praises
Something happens and the whole room changes
It’s the power of Your name, oh the name of Jesus
Something happens when we sing Your praises
Something happens and the whole room changes
It’s the power of Your name, oh the name of Jesus
Something happens when we sing Your praises
Something happens and the whole room changes
It’s the power of Your name, oh the name of Jesus, oh I

May we grow together in the love of Christ to reflect upon the mercies and blessings upon our lives, to feel the presence of God’s living Holy Spirit through worship to sing, pray, laugh, dance, cry, but mostly to praise our Lord and Father as we were indeed created2praise.
