Authority
I believe we too often grow passive and give up in our prayer life. We put down the hammer and relax. We don’t realize that it is up to us to enforce God’s will.
How often have we been exhorted that if we only had a tiny bit of faith like a mustard seed, that is all we need?

Just what is a thorn in the flesh? When we let scripture interpret scripture the answer is easy.
The next time you feel you are facing the power of darkness, realize that you are facing a defeated enemy.
The key to effective prayer is to believe without doubting that you already have the desired outcome.
The answer for spirits of infirmity is to understand your spiritual authority in Christ. If there was a spider in your house you would kill it. You know you have authority and power over spiders.

For those with well trained dogs, a simple command brings forth instant obedience. Dogs can understand verbal commands, hand signals and even body language and inflections in the voice. The owner of a well-trained dog has faith that his commands will be obeyed. In many cases he doesn’t even have to see the obedience. He knows the dog will carry out the command.
