Spiritual Authority: The Lie That Keeps Christians PowerlessIn this continuing series on Spiritual Authority, Terry and Reneé Mize tackle one of the most common beliefs in Christianity and examine it through the lens of Scripture.Many believers have heard the phrase, “God is in control,” but what does the Bible actually teach about authority, responsibility, and dominion in the earth?Beginning in Genesis and continuing throughout Scripture, Terry explains how misunderstanding spiritual authority can lead believers into passivity, confusion, and frustration. When Christians fail to understand what God has delegated to mankind, they often blame God for things He never intended.In this episode, you'll discover:• Why spiritual authority matters • What God delegated to mankind • The difference between God's sovereignty and man's responsibility • Why misunderstanding authority can produce powerless living • How Scripture reveals God's original plan for dominionThis eye-opening teaching continues building the foundation for understanding how spiritual authority operates and why believers must know what God has already provided through His Word.Scriptures discussed: Genesis 1, Genesis 2, and additional passages regarding authority, dominion, and responsibility.

Authority Genesis 1:27, 28 June 7, 2026 What is Spiritual Authority? The God-given right and ability to succeed, prevail, overcome vs. every spiritual enemy assignment. The Purpose of Spiritual Authority: To reflect the character and blessing of God and to carry out His purpose for His children through faith and submissive partnership with Him. Who Has Spiritual Authority? God: 1 Chronicles 29:11, 12 Jesus (Matthew 28:18); His Heirs (Ephesians 1:19-23) What Realms Does Spiritual Authority have Operational Rights? Your life; your Relationship Positions; Your God given assignments. Personal life: James 4:6,7; 1 Peter 5:6-9; Mark 16:19; Ephesians 6:10-17 (Authority to Resist and Dismiss! Relationships (Ephesians 6:1-5); Work; Church Body (Ephesians 1:22,23); Intercession for Kingdom purposes! (Matthew 16:18, 19) How is Spiritual Authority Limited? The deception of unbelief! (Genesis 3; Hebrews 3, 4) ✸BEWARE! Authority is not granted to us to “change” others, so that we would be more comfortable. It's to cooperate with the Lord in how HE wants to accomplish HIS PURPOSE in them!

From Genesis 1:26, we discover that authority, dominion, and stewardship were part of God's design from the very start.Many believers see themselves as victims of circumstances, but Scripture reveals something very different.

Who are you in Christ? In this message from the Spiritual Authority: Restored In Christ series, Chad Everett teaches from Galatians 3 about identity, faith, grace, and spiritual authority. Before believers can walk in authority, they must first understand who they are as sons and daughters of God. Paul asks the Galatians a challenging question: "Who has bewitched you?" As deceptive voices, cultural pressures, and persuasive ideas compete for our attention, believers are called to stay anchored in the truth of God's Word and the finished work of Jesus Christ. Discover why sonship is received through faith—not earned through performance—and learn how living from the Spirit brings freedom, peace, and confidence in your relationship with God. If you've ever struggled with striving, insecurity, condemnation, or trying to earn God's approval, this message is a powerful reminder that your identity is found in Christ alone. "Knowing who He is and who we are in Him is the key factor for knowing our spiritual authority." The Roads Church - https://theroads.church

The end of the fourteenth century was a time of upheaval and contested authority among the traditional institutions of medieval Europe. In response to these conditions, a number of people began to claim their own authority, as prophets speaking the word of God. They came from outside of the clerical elite and were mostly women and reformers. Prophecy and the Battle for Spiritual Authority, 1360–1400: Outsiders, Women, and Reformers (Oxford University Press, 2025) by Dr. Frances Kneupper examines the battle over authority which ensued. Prophetic women and other non-elites successfully used prophecy to exert influence and to enter the corridors of power, while educated male clerics insinuated that prophecy was the product of demonic influence and therefore a hazard to the public. Surprisingly, a third faction also emerged—an international network of clerical men who wrote in support of female prophecy. This volume traces the arguments made by these three groups, the clashes that erupted, and the long-term impacts of this battle on ideas of spiritual authority. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

On Pentecost, the Spirit was given to all; ordinary people spoke with authority. The presence of God was no longer limited to prophets, priests, or kings. But when anyone can speak for God, who is actually in charge? And if we're all listening to the same Spirit, why do we so often come to different conclusions?As we begin our new series, Authority Issues: The Harm and Hope of Spiritual Authority, we'll explore what Pentecost reveals about power, leadership, discernment, and the risky gift of shared spiritual authority.

Title: Wrong Uniform, Right FaithScripture Reading: Matthew 8:5-13Series: Be Bold!What truly defines a bold faith: outward appearances and accomplishments, or something far deeper? This message concludes our "Be Bold!" series by exploring what it means to salute the highest authority. We learn that bold faith is not about the uniform you wear, as seen in the Roman Centurion's faith, which transcended his Gentile identity. Furthermore, bold faith is not about the medals you've earned; the Centurion's charitable works were not the basis for his miracle, reminding us that human merit and transactional appeals to God are futile. Ultimately, bold faith is about the commander you salute, exemplified by the Centurion's profound humility regarding himself and unwavering confidence in Jesus's authority to heal remotely. Our boldest faith is found not in our outward identity or personal achievements, but in our humble and confident surrender to the supreme authority of Jesus Christ.

Send us Fan MailThe other night I attended a large Christian concert filled with powerful music, uplifting messages, and songs about freedom, healing, and breakthrough.But as I looked around the room, I realized something troubling:Many of the people singing about freedom were still deeply bound.Why?In this episode, Karl Gessler explores the difference between proclaiming truth and exercising the authority Jesus actually gave believers. Why do so many Christians pray for breakthrough but never experience it? What does it mean to move from passive hope into active faith?Jesus did not simply tell His disciples to pray for freedom—He gave them authority over the power of the enemy. What happens when the Church stops waiting outside the door of revival and starts walking through it?Topics include:Spiritual authorityWhy many prayers seem powerlessFaith and actionFreedom in ChristDeliverance and healingThe difference between singing about truth and experiencing itExercising authority in Jesus' nameScriptures discussed include Luke 10, Luke 9, and Isaiah 61.If you think the world is hungry for bold Christians, give an “amen.”Support the show❤️ SHOW YOUR SUPPORT - LINKS BELOW...➡️ Email me: https://www.karlgessler.com/deliverance➡️ DONATE ➡️  Join our team!https://www.givesendgo.com/karlgessle...  / karlgessler  ...

In this episode of The Mobilized Church Podcast, we tackle one of the most important and misunderstood subjects in modern Christianity: spiritual authority and the role of leadership in the church. In a culture that often swings between rejecting leadership altogether or elevating leaders beyond biblical boundaries, what does healthy, Spirit-led leadership actually look like?Using 1 Corinthians 7 and other key New Testament passages as a framework, we explore how Christ governs His church through delegated spiritual leadership, the difference between authoritarianism and stewardship, and why spiritual leaders are called to more than simply repeat information. We discuss pastoral oversight, doctrinal responsibility, Spirit-led discernment, and the tension between individualism and biblical accountability in the modern church.This conversation is a needed recalibration on leadership, authority, and how the church was designed to function under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

A surge of prayer opens the door: we plead the blood over nations and ask for Pentecost every day, not as a slogan but as a lived rhythm. From that first wave, we move into the heart of the mission—why God responds to movement, how desire must be made holy, and where true spiritual authority actually comes from. We share stories of people God called while they were working—some faithful, some flawed—and trace the difference between gifts used for self and gifts surrendered for the kingdom.The conversation turns practical and sharp. We unpack submission as a hierarchy of purpose, not a pecking order of people. On your field, I follow you; on mine, you follow me. That exchange builds trust, kills ego, and multiplies impact. When we prefer one another, offense loses its grip, unity deepens, and teams move faster with less friction. We explore how unsubmitted ambition weakens ministry, why correction protects calling, and how a culture of mutual preference becomes a catalyst for revival at scale.Then the room becomes an altar. We pray for God to burn away impure motives and ambitions, to align our hearts with a kingdom moment rather than a personal moment. We ask for pure desires, pure motives, and the courage to decrease so Christ increases. The vision expands: a church so united and surrendered that billions can be added in this last hour. We close with a tangible step—gathering for prayer at Azusa Street—standing where past fire fell, asking God to do what only He can do through a people willing to be poured out.If this resonates, tap follow, share it with a friend who's hungry for more, and leave a review telling us where God is stretching you right now.

In this message from the Spiritual Authority: Restored In Christ sermon series, Chad Everett brings clarity and urgency to the return of Jesus. In a world full of noise and deception, this teaching calls us back to what is true and unchanging, the Word of God. Walking through Daniel 9, Mark 13, Matthew 24, 1 Thessalonians 4, and Revelation, Chad shows that Jesus' return will not be hidden. He will come in the clouds, with power, with angels, and with the sound of a trumpet, and He will gather His people. Jesus warned that deception would increase, but the more we know Scripture, the less likely we are to be led astray. This message is not about speculation, it is about preparation. The question is not just what is coming, but are you ready? The Roads Church - https://theroads.church

Send us Fan MailMany Gen Z Christians have been taught to expect a future with no victory—only survival.But that's not what Jesus taught.Somewhere along the way, a subtle but powerful lie took root in the Church: that everything is destined to get worse and worse, that darkness will inevitably win, and that believers are simply holding on until the end.In this episode, we confront that belief head-on.We look at what Scripture actually says about the victory of Jesus, the authority given to His followers, and the nature of the Gospel as truly good news—not a consolation prize in a losing world.Jesus said, “In the world you will have tribulation—but take heart; I have overcome the world.”Not “I will overcome.” “I have overcome.”If you've ever felt like the best you can do is survive until Jesus returns, this conversation will challenge that mindset and call you back to a life of hope, faith, and purpose led by the Holy Spirit.You are not waiting for victory. You are living from it.Support the show❤️ SHOW YOUR SUPPORT - LINKS BELOW...➡️ Email me: https://www.karlgessler.com/deliverance➡️ DONATE ➡️  Join our team!https://www.givesendgo.com/karlgessle...  / karlgessler  ...

In this message from the Spiritual Authority: Restored in Christ sermon series, Chad Everett unpacks the prophetic timeline found in Daniel 9 and brings clarity to what Scripture calls the 70th week—revealing how it connects directly to the times we are living in right now. This teaching goes beyond simply explaining end-times prophecy. It helps believers understand how to discern the times through Scripture, not through culture, media, or political perspectives. Chad walks step-by-step through the 70 weeks prophecy, showing how the first 69 weeks were fulfilled with incredible precision—from the decree to rebuild Jerusalem to the coming of Jesus as the Messiah. If God was that accurate in fulfilling what has already happened, then what does that mean for what is still ahead? The focus of this message shifts to the final, unfulfilled 70th week—a future seven-year period that Scripture describes in detail. Chad explains what to watch for, including the role of a coming world leader, a peace agreement involving Israel, and the significant shift that takes place halfway through that timeline. By connecting Daniel's prophecy with passages in Revelation, this message brings a clear and grounded understanding of what the Bible says about the days ahead. But the heart of this message is not just information—it's perspective. “That we can watch the news right now and follow the Bible.” — Chad Everett In a world filled with competing voices and constant headlines, this message calls believers to step back and anchor their understanding in God's Word. It challenges us to move away from interpreting events through a political or cultural lens and instead see clearly through the lens of Scripture. Many people missed Jesus when He came the first time—even though the timeline was written in Scripture. This message is a reminder that understanding the Word of God is essential if we want to recognize what He is doing today. The Roads Church - https://theroads.church

Pastoral Care Pastor, Dawn Bray teaches on the topic of spiritual authority in God, and how to reclaim the areas where we may have given our spiritual authority away.

Matthew 8:28 - 9:8

Wayne and Kyle discuss an email from Australia that they both found breathtaking in its simple depth. After a lighthearted reflection on the quirks of people we love, they turn to something more profound—how Jesus offered a completely different way of living than the power-driven systems we see around us. True spiritual authority doesn't come from titles or positions, but from a life deeply connected to God and genuinely serving others. When authority becomes tied to identity, it often turns inward—becoming self-serving and harmful. But real authority doesn't demand attention; it creates space—safe, open, and life-giving—for others to encounter God for themselves. Podcast Notes: The video version of this podcast Walter Brueggermann on the Justice from Below Rowena's last paragraph: "If much of what is collapsing right now is authority rooted in structure, perhaps what is emerging is authority rooted in union - not louder, not more visible, but more real. And maybe Kingdom governance won't announce itself clearly at first; it will simply be recognised-by the fruit it carries, and by the life that flows through it." You can read her entire email here.

Over 2,500 years ago, God revealed to Daniel the exact timeline of the Messiah's coming—down to the day. This sermon unpacks the 70 weeks prophecy and shows how Jesus fulfilled it with undeniable precision. If God was that accurate then, can He be trusted with your life now? This message goes beyond prophecy and into the heart of the gospel. Jesus was “cut off, but not for Himself” (Daniel 9:26). He didn't die for His own sin—He died for ours. Salvation is not something we earn; it is a gift we receive by grace through faith. Chad challenges us to move from simply knowing about Jesus as “Rabbi” to fully surrendering to Him as Lord. In a world full of competing voices, this message calls believers back to Scripture, truth, and wholehearted devotion to Christ. If God fulfilled His Word with this level of accuracy, then we can live with confidence, readiness, and faith in what He has promised still to come. The Roads Church - https://theroads.church

In this message, Chad Everett teaches from Mark 13 and calls the Church to return to a clear, biblical focus in a distracted and divided world. The disciples asked Jesus about timelines and signs, but Jesus redirected their attention to something more important: how they should live. His instruction was not centered on speculation, but on spiritual posture—take heed, watch, and stay on mission. Chad emphasizes that one of the enemy's primary tactics is distraction. In a time filled with voices, opinions, social media, and constant information, believers can easily be led off course. Jesus warns that deception is not always obvious—it often comes through distraction, misdirection, and drifting away from the truth. The message also highlights the importance of being spiritually alert. Believers are called to be watchful, grounded in Scripture, and prepared to respond appropriately—not shaped by culture, but by the Word of God. Finally, the mission is clear: the gospel must be preached. Instead of becoming consumed with signs, politics, or speculation, the Church must remain focused on the Great Commission. Every believer is sent to share the good news of Jesus. Because of this message: ● We are called to take heed so we are not deceived ● We are called to watch and remain spiritually alert ● We are called to stay on mission and preach the gospel The Roads Church - https://theroads.church

Outline    Biblical Foundation for Confrontation Scripture establishes that fault will be found in others and ourselves as human beings prone to error Jesus provides guidance on how to handle each other's faults through proper confrontation methods Matthew 7:1-6 emphasizes the importance of checking one's own heart before addressing others' sins to avoid hypocrisy Self-examination through prayer and seeking God's guidance is essential before confronting someone else's wrongdoing Approaching confrontation without recognizing our own weaknesses lacks the humility necessary for successful resolution The goal of confrontation should be recovering people to right standing with God rather than making them act according to our preferences Partnership and relationship should characterize confrontation rather than accusatory behavior.   Private Confrontation Protocol Matthew 18:15-20 establishes that the first step involves going directly to the person alone about their fault Scripture specifically emphasizes confronting someone "alone" rather than involving multiple people initially Spreading information about someone's sin to others before addressing them directly creates an "oil spill" effect that becomes difficult to clean up Multiple people become impacted by knowledge of the sin without opportunity for reconciliation if the matter is resolved privately Community members may carry grudges against the person even after repentance occurs because they never witness the restoration Biblical protocol requires relational courage to address issues directly rather than avoiding confrontation Failure to confront privately often leads to hardening of heart, distancing behavior, and protective mechanisms that damage relationships.   Escalation Process for Unresolved Sin Taking one or two others along serves as the second step when private confrontation fails, requiring evidence and witnesses to establish charges This step distinguishes between confronting actual substantiated sins versus personal feelings or preferences Scripture qualifies sin quite specifically throughout, making confrontation about verifiable behavior rather than emotional responses Telling the matter to the church represents the third step when the person refuses to listen to witnesses Treating someone as a Gentile or tax collector becomes necessary when they refuse church governance and show unrelenting sin patterns This final classification indicates someone unwilling to be a true follower of Jesus despite multiple intervention attempts.   Spiritual Authority and Unity Whatever believers bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever they loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven Spiritual authority of the body of Christ follows from exercising relational courage and willingness to confront sin properly Prayer effectiveness requires unity between two or three people gathered in Jesus' name Unity in prayer becomes impossible when standing in silent judgment of someone's life due to unaddressed sin Relationships frayed by unforgiveness, judgment, or isolation prevent effective spiritual authority in prayer meetings Gossip and rumor-spreading destroys community and creates hypocrisy when the same tongue tries to declare heavenly things Marriage, family, small group, and church relationships all require exercising biblical confrontation principles.   Speaking Truth in Love Ephesians 4:14-15 presents speaking truth in love as God's antidote to deception and false doctrine Some people excel at telling brutal truth but lack the love component required by scripture Others focus heavily on love but avoid speaking necessary truth due to past negative experiences with confrontation Both extremes need repentance to find balance in expressing truth with genuine love Truth-telling helps people break free from deception caused by false influences, social media, or cult-like followings Confronting deception requires courage and disagreement since affirming falsehood provides no help to deceived individuals Learning to speak truth in love requires practice, asking for forgiveness when done poorly, and studying how to improve the approach.   Reproof and Rebuke with Patience 2 Timothy 4:1-5 charges believers to reprove, rebuke, and exhort with complete patience and teaching Reproof means reprimanding or censoring someone, while rebuke involves expressing sharp disapproval of behavior God's reproof and rebuke always comes with love since love is His nature, providing a model for human confrontation Complete patience requires learning specific techniques for managing anger and frustration during difficult conversations Teaching accompanies reproof and rebuke by showing the right way rather than only pointing out wrong behavior Patience involves sitting with someone as long as necessary to help them understand and find their way to righteousness People often seek teachers who confirm their biases rather than challenge their sin patterns and idolatry.   Church Culture and Truth-Telling Consumer-driven church culture often tells people what they want to hear rather than what they need to hear for spiritual growth Economic dependence on giving creates pressure to avoid difficult truths that might cause people to leave Jesus' challenging words caused crowds to leave Him, demonstrating that following Christ involves disturbing and vexing elements Choosing teachers who only affirm and comfort leads to turning away from truth and wandering into myths Church leadership must prioritize the integrity of Jesus' message over financial stability and attendance numbers A remnant of people exists who genuinely want to grow in challenging ways and commit to Jesus' methods.   Restoration and Gentleness Galatians 6:1-2 calls for restoring those caught in transgression through a spirit of gentleness while bearing one another's burdens Confrontation should focus on recovering people back to walking "in His name" rather than punishing them for failures The approach involves gentle invitation back to relationship with Jesus rather than violent or aggressive tactics Spiritual warfare targets principalities and powers rather than the individuals ensnared by sin Ministry should address people's spiritual conditions through healing and restoration rather than anger or condemnation Every spiritual condition requires appropriate ministry response, such as breaking chains rather than cutting off legs, or healing blindness rather than yelling at blind people.   Learning and Growth in Confrontation Poor execution of confrontation requires learning to do it excellently rather than avoiding it altogether Inactivity or non-engagement prevents growth in necessary relational skills Practice and repetition in speaking truth with love leads to improvement over time Feeling foreign or inauthentic when using Jesus' language indicates positive change from former abusive patterns Loyalty should be directed toward becoming like Jesus rather than remaining authentic to one's former self Replacing violent, hateful, and unforgiving language with Christ-like communication requires accepting the discomfort of change.   Next Steps The community commits to learning God's ways of handling family relationships and conflict resolution rather than perpetuating past patterns Members will seek wisdom for navigating challenging relationship issues and sensitive sin matters through prayer and study The church will prioritize righteousness and holiness over false peace in their relationships and community interactions Individuals will examine their own lives for hypocrisy and fault before confronting others, opening themselves to loving correction The congregation will develop skills in speaking truth with love while shedding previous destructive communication patterns learned from family backgrounds.

Experience a powerful service with our special guest Pastor Ché Ahn, whose ministry has impacted believers around the world through revival, healing, and Kingdom transformation. Be expectant as the Holy Spirit moves to refresh, equip, and impart—strengthening you to walk boldly in your calling!

Pastor Robert Tisdale preaches from Acts 19, describing Ephesus as a powerful commercial and religious center built around the temple of Artemis and profitable spiritual deception through magic practices. He teaches that revival and breakthrough are intentional, formed through consistent prayer, discipleship, and daily teaching, as modeled by Paul over two years and three months, leading to “special miracles” and regional impact. He warns against convenience-driven faith and highlights the failure of the seven sons of Sceva as proof that spiritual authority comes from relationship with Jesus, not borrowed language. As genuine revival spreads, repentance becomes public and costly, with believers confessing sin and burning occult books worth 50,000 pieces of silver, showing freedom valued above bondage. The message calls the church to renounce darkness, reject systems that profit from captivity, and pursue a life where the word of God prevails.00:00 Unmistakable Move01:00 Ephesus and Artemis02:18 Deception Pays03:30 Discipleship Builds Revival05:40 Keep Praying06:51 Revival Shakes Systems08:26 Special Miracles Season10:28 Time Compression Revival18:09 Authority to Decree20:14 Sons of Sceva Warning24:00 Relationship Not Formula27:35 Fed Up With Religion28:28 Tango Spanish Misfire31:16 Borrowed Authority Fails34:07 Urgency For Freedom36:04 Revival Exposes Secrets37:03 Burning The Scrolls39:25 What You Value You Serve45:09 Burn It Today51:42 Word Of God Prevails

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Answering questions on Catholic Spiritual authority, part 2

In this message from Luke 10, Chad Everett teaches on the authority Jesus has given His followers and what it means to put your foot down on the lies and tactics of the enemy. Jesus told His disciples, “Behold, I give you authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy” (Luke 10: 19). That authority — the Greek word exousia — means the right, permission, and jurisdiction given by Christ Himself. But many believers know this truth without living in it. Through a simple but powerful family story about saying “no more dogs,” Chad illustrates how trampling the enemy often begins with a clear decision: stop negotiating with what God has already told us to resist. When the enemy offers fear, shame, temptation, offense, or condemnation, believers have the authority in Christ to say: “No. I'm putting my foot down.” This message will encourage you to: • Walk in the authority Jesus has given you • Recognize and resist the enemy's tactics • Stop agreeing with lies and stand on God's Word • Step into your assignment as a laborer in God's harvest Jesus has already defeated the enemy. Now the church must learn to walk in that victory. The Roads Church - https://theroads.church

Our culture has undervalued the significance of regularly gathering together for meals in our homes—something that impacts the spiritual formation of our families and the unfolding purposes of God. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses three biblical passages where Jesus teaches His audience "table manners": what it means to be a host or guest in someone's home. Hospitality, humility, and mercy are crucial components of expressing our faith, especially around the kitchen table, and Pastor Allen stresses the importance of valuing people and their invitations. God is inviting us to a more vivid faith—how will we respond?
