Taking Spiritual Authority and Tribe of Manasseh

But look at what He says: "Behold, I give you the authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice because your names are written in the books of heaven."

So, my friends, what am I trying to say? I want to encourage you today to take your authority. Take your authority. Too many people are not taking their authority that Yeshua has given them. Yes, it does take cleanliness. Yes, it takes righteousness. Yes, being set apart. Yes, all of these things. But take your authority. Okay? But yes, we've got to make sure we're cleansed. We've got to make sure we're righteous. We've got to make sure we're holy so that we can have that authority. He's not just going to give us the authority just to give it to us, and I can go do whatever I want.

"Oh, I've got the authority over serpents and scorpions, but I'm acting like an idiot in the world." He will not give me that authority. Okay? So, again, those who are set apart, all of you, we're trying to take our authority to overcome these things that life gives us. Okay? And so, I just want to tell people, take your authority, but we've got to be set apart to take our authority. So many people are praying, praying, praying, praying, praying, and we're not getting any results from the prayers because we're not using the authority. And maybe we're not cleansed. Maybe we're not holy. Maybe we're sexually immoral. Maybe we're whatever it may be, you know, drugs, alcohol, whatever you talk about. Maybe we're not as cleansed as we need to be. So, if we're not getting the righteous rendered verdicts, if we're not getting the breakthroughs, if we're not getting these things, if you're not receiving or believing that you're receiving the authority to break through these things through prayer, then we've got to get with the Lord and ask Him why, right?

We've got to ask Him why. Because He says right here, "Behold, I give you the authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy." All of it. Not some of it, all of it. Okay? And nothing shall hurt any of us. Okay? So, I want to encourage you, take that. This is one of my favorite scriptures to pray in the courts of heaven or when I'm in spiritual warfare, or when I'm interceding for people, or when I'm praying for myself, or praying for whoever. This is a powerful scripture. Quote it and stand on it. "Yeshua, You've given me the authority to tread over serpents and spirits and everything. I want to take my authority right now and I'm going to tread over these things through the scriptures." Not through me, through the scriptures. We're going to tread over all of these things. And it's very powerful to be a part of, because all we're doing is quoting the word of God.

That's why we can call it the courts of heaven. We can call it whatever you want to call it, praying in the courts, but it's really quoting His word, just like Yeshua did Himself. Yeshua quoted the word of God when He was tempted by Satan three times. "Bye-bye, Satan. Bye-bye. Go somewhere else." Okay? So again, He is showing us how to get rid of Satan, okay? Through many different avenues. And yes, the temptation is one of them. Okay? When you go read the temptation of Yeshua, three times He quoted the word of God. "It is written. It is written. It is written." He didn't start throwing chairs. He didn't start yelling. No, He just said, "It is written. It is written. It is written." He fled. Okay. Luke 10:19 says, "You know, He's given us authority over all the power of the serpents." Okay? So, take your authority. Take your authority. Yes, you need to be righteous. Yes, holy. Yes, all of it too.

I do as well, because again, it goes into that, you know, it goes into being righteous, holy, you know, using our gifts, but also using what He said, the word of God, to trample over all these things. And that's why when you get into these things with spiritual warfare, when you get into these things praying for yourself or family members or friends or whoever you're praying for people with disease or sickness or whatever it may be, or a broken leg or a car wreck, whatever, you're using your authority by the scriptures, okay? It's so important. I tell myself that all the time: shut my mouth and quote the word of God. That's where the power is. He knows what we need. He knows that, right? That's what Yeshua said. So, I just want to encourage you, okay? Take your authority. You have this. He didn't say, "I just give a few people the authority over serpents." No. He says, "I will give it to you if you follow Me, if you trust Me, if you worship Me in spirit and in truth, if you do all these things." Take your authority and trample over the serpents and the spirits that come against you and your family.

Okay? Because you will be given that authority, in my personal opinion, because you're walking holy. You're righteous. You're walking in His way, spirit and truth. You're flowing. So why wouldn't He give you the authority to trample over all of the enemy, right? Because you're in alignment. Okay? So, all of you in alignment out there, this should be very encouraging to take Luke 10:18-20 and go warfare with whatever may be coming your way or your family's way. And if not, then amen. There's no need to warfare. But if you are dealing with warfare, number one, let's make sure we're cleansed, holy, righteous, all of this, you know, and then take your authority and go, you know, use your spiritual gifts. Super important. More people need to take their authority, okay? Because they're being too timid. They're being too timid with it. They're being too reluctant. Okay? He says what He says here.

Yes, we all have different gifts. We all have different spiritual gifts. But again, in context, please take your authority, whatever He's given you with your spiritual gifts, and over all of the enemy that's come against you and your family. Amen. And amen. In summary, the constellation of Scorpio prophesies the price shall be a conflict with the serpent and a wounding in the conqueror's heel, which points to our Messiah and King Yeshua in Genesis 3:15. What a great meditation to ponder on this month. Genesis 3:15 says, "So the Lord God said to the serpent, 'Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all cattle and more than every beast of the field; on your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.'"

Luke 10:18-20 says, "And he said to them, 'I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.

Behold, I give you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in the books of heaven.'" Amen. Amen. And amen. What an awesome blessing that is, my friends. So take Luke 10:19. Take your authority and go trampling, my friends, against the enemy. There's a lot of people that are hurting right now. You know, I tell people all the time who I have to speak with by telephone, there's probably not too many friends that I talk to, I can't think of one right now, maybe there is, maybe there isn't, that is not getting just a lot of spiritual warfare, whatever that may be, personally, family member, wife, father-in-law, dad, mom, whoever. There's someone being under a hard time. And really, everybody I talk to is really getting pummeled right now.

These people are, you know, they're doing their part in God's kingdom as well, you know, so that comes with it as well. But my friends, take your authority because He's given you that authority. Don't forget that He's giving you the authority. And yes, we need to be saved. We need to be cleansed. We need to be walking in the way, right? But take your authority, my friends. Now, let's look at the last anointing of the month that we'll go through tonight, which is the tribe of the month. And this is the month of Manasseh. This is a beautiful way to end the video tonight, the anointings of tonight and the new moon tonight, but also with all the anointings that we're about to go through with this tribe. Genesis 41:51 says, "For God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father's household." Manasseh, that's who he spoke about. That's why he was named Manasseh, because that's what his name means: "for God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father's household." So, most of us are very familiar with the story of Joseph.
