God had delegated the power over the earth to mankind in the beginning (Genesis 1:26-28; Psalms 8:4-8, and 115:16). When man disobeyed God (Genesis 3:1-6), that power was delivered to Satan (Luke 4:6). Therefore, the Lord did not have absolute control over the earth and its affairs. When Jesus died, He descended into hell (Psalms 16:10 with Acts 2:31, and Ephesians 4:8-10) and stripped Satan of all his power (Revelation 1:18). Now, God once again has all power in heaven and earth.

2 Corinthians 5 20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us; we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God.

The reason we can go into all the world and share the Gospel is because Jesus now has all power in heaven and earth. And, as His ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20), we have that power too.

Many of us would think that if we fulfill the conditions of Romans 12:1, then everything else would automatically work out. Yet Paul went on to state that we also have to renew our minds. Many of us who have had made genuine commitments to the Lord, but haven’t renewed our minds through God’s Word, have needlessly suffered many problems.

In The Believer’s Authority, Andrew challenges traditional legalistic Christianity and provides an in-depth, scriptural explanation of man’s authority, Satan’s authority, and how to apply God’s Word. God has given a tremendous amount of authority to believers in Christ, but the way spiritual authority is taught today has left many Christians feeling defeated and confused.
