Authority

Esther 8:2

So the king took off his signet ring,

which he had taken from Haman,

and gave it to Mordecai;

and Esther appointed Mordecai

over the house of Haman.

The devil planned evil

for all of mankind and for the LORD JESUS.

Mankind has given their authority -

the signet ring - to the devil

to rule over their carnal nature.

The Son of GOD came in the flesh

but lived in purity.

When JESUS was crushed on the cross,

GOD crushed the devil,

together with the wickedness of mankind

under the feet of His Son.

Thus GOD took back the signet ring

from the devil and gave it to JESUS.

Now the LORD JESUS

takes His rightful authority over all those

Who willingly submit to Him.

Matthew 28:18-20

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying,

"All authority has been given to Me

in heaven and on earth.

"Go therefore

and make disciples of all the nations,

baptizing them in the name of the Father

and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

"teaching them to observe all things

that I have commanded you;

and lo, I am with you always,

even to the end of the age." Amen.

Luke 10:19

"Behold, I give you the authority

to trample on serpents and scorpions,

and over all the power of the enemy,

and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Esther 8:17

And in every province and city,

wherever the king's command and decree came,

the Jews had joy and gladness,

a feast and a holiday.

Then many of the people of the land became Jews,

because fear of the Jews fell upon them.

Acts 2:43-47

Then fear came upon every soul,

and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.

Now all who believed were together,

and had all things in common,

and sold their possessions and goods,

and divided them among all, as anyone had need.

So continuing daily with one accord in the temple,

and breaking bread from house to house,

they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,

praising God and having favor with all the people.

And the Lord added to the church daily

those who were being saved.
