We have been given authority and we must be careful what we do with it. Authority is the right to use power. As you know, Adam was given this authority and he lost it. (Rom. 6:16) Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves [as] servants unto obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? The Bible teaches that the Lord Jesus was the last Adam who came to restore that authority and we can tell by the awesome promises that He has given unto us. (1 Cor. 15:45) So also it is written, the first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam [became] a life-giving spirit. In fact, to most people, these promises are too good to be true and they say things like: “they had to be talking about someone else”, “they don’t experience them”, or “they were made towards the apostles in the past”. But the truth is, He’s talking to you and me. The reason I know is because as I believed them I started entering into them, as have many others. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. There is an expression: The guy with an experience is never at the mercy of the guy with an argument. Folks, there are multitudes of Christians who are experiencing the authority and power of God and they are rejoicing; and there are still people out there denying it, but it’s to him who believeth. (Heb. 2:5) For not unto angels did he subject the world to come (Greek: “inhabited earth”), whereof we speak. Notice our dominion in this verse is not about “the world to come” but the “inhabited earth” here and now. In other words, God gave Adam and His seed authority. According to Psalm 8, he was given authority over all the works of His hands, over all of creation. So now, Jesus is not called the last Adam for nothing: He is the father of the born-again creation and came to give us authority. What I want to go on to show you is why we have to be so careful about this authority. (6) But one hath somewhere testified, saying, what is man, that
