Imagine the following;
Your three year old is kidnapped! Someone has stolen the most dear to you. And that's not all; you find out that the kidnappers live just a few houses from you down the street! It doesn't seem like it's a secret, the kidnappers wrote this on your door; "Stay away! Don't try to get this kid back, it now belongs to me!"
What do you do now?
Will you simply stand looking our your window through binoculars and wait for "something" to happen? Will you get down on your knees and pray for God to do something? Will you "wait and see" if the solution will appear out of thin air? Will you accept what has happened and crying carry your sorrow and grief?
NO, NO, and again NO!
Of course not! Everything I just said would be absurd! Everyone that has come in contact with your instinctive and severely protective parenting-emotions know exactly what would have happend. Both you and I would run over, that same second, ripped the door open, trampled on all opposition and taken back what belongs to you! The authority and strength would have come from your belly within and not from some sort of reasoning, wisdom or logic.
The Bible clearly says that "ALL God's promises have (In Jesus) received their YES" (2 Cor 1) and that you, as a born again Christian, are together with Jesus "far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come." (Eph 1 and 2)
It is very clear that ALL authority has been given to Jesus, and that He has given it to us!
But it also says that the devil "has come to steal, destroy and kill." (John 10:10)

The devil, just like the kidnapper, wants to take what's most precious to you; God's promises! He is very clear about this, the Bible clearly states that this is his way and character. Like a bird that eat the seeds just sown, like a thief that steal, like a lion that roars and wants to devour, like a destroyer that wants to kill.
So, what do you do now?
Unfortunately so many Christians just "humbly accept" their "destiny". Many believe that the cancer, poverty or accident comes from God to teach them "something". Others know that it is the devil that has stolen, but they still wait for God to act...
God has already acted, on the cross 2000 years ago! He has given you the authority to say STOP!
Come on! Someone steals something right before your eyes; stand up and fight! You have all the rights to! Roar in authority! Don't accept the devil's foolishness! Fight for your RIGHTS! They are written on a contract in Jesus' blood! The authority and the faith comes from a strong inner life, with your nose in the Bible and your heart filled with prayer. When you know and practice the truth it will set you free!
Have a simple theology; EVERYTHING good come from above, from our good dad! EVERYTHING evil comes from the devil that wants nothing more than to destroy your life.
Accept the good, resist the evil!
Don't just say that you're a Christian; live like one!
