Prayer Unfiltered: Do Christians Have the Same Authority as Jesus?

One of our listeners recently sent in a thoughtful question after listening to our podcast discussion of the Jude 9 and “the Lord rebuke you.”

Building from a listener’s thoughtful question, Elizabeth explores what Scripture actually teaches about authority in Christ, delegated authority, deliverance, humility, and the importance of remaining submitted to Jesus during spiritual battles.

Together, we’ll examine:

• Jude 9 and Michael the Archangel’s confrontation with Satan 
• The difference between Christ’s authority and our authority in Him 
• Luke 10 and Jesus giving authority over the power of the enemy
• Spiritual warfare, deliverance, and biblical discernment
• Why humility and submission are essential in spiritual warfare

This episode is a reminder that our confidence is never found in our own power, but in the victory, authority, and finished work of Jesus Christ.

This conversation isn’t about fear or passivity.

It’s about understanding our identity in Christ while remaining fully submitted to His authority.

If you’ve ever wrestled with questions about deliverance, spiritual warfare, authority in Christ, or how believers should pray when facing spiritual opposition, I believe this episode will encourage and challenge you. Listen now!

As always, thank you for being part of The Father’s Business community. We’re honored to walk this journey of faith with you.

P.S. This is Part 1 of a larger conversation. Next week we’ll continue exploring what submitted authority looks like throughout Scripture and what it means to stand firm in Christ without becoming passive—or presumptuous.
