Power And Authority In His Name

Luk 9:1 ASV - And he called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
Luk 9:2 ASV - And he sent them forth to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
Luk 9:3 ASV - And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats.
Luk 9:4 ASV - And into whatsoever house ye enter, there abide, and thence depart.
Luk 9:5 ASV - And as many as receive you not, when ye depart from that city, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
Luk 9:6 ASV - And they departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere.
I would like to bring your attention to these verses and go into the words of this scripture and show the tremendous blessings we have in Jesus.   The enemy will portray himself as something bigger than life its self much bigger than you . He wants you to submit to his lies and lay down and give up.     If you remember when David came against Goliath, every man in Israel trembled at the presence of this man he was so much bigger than them.     It says his spear was like a weavers beam and he also spoke very loudly he was very intimidating . Looking at this in the flesh he was very fearsome. And the devil is a lie and the father of lies.   Do you know what defeats the enemy in your life ? its FAITH and that faith is believing with your whole heart that God is greater than your enemy . If God created heaven and earth and all there in, than he knows about your enemy for he created him.   People believe there are two powers at work in the earth and they are some how equal in power and strength  and they hope there side wins.  God is sovereign over evil he created evil , your God created evil.

Isa 45:5 ASV - I am Jehovah, and there is none else; besides me there is no God. I will gird thee, though thou hast not known me;
Isa 45:6 ASV - that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none besides me: I am Jehovah, and there is none else
Isa 45:7 ASV - I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil. I am Jehovah, that doeth all these things.


  luk 9-1        the words Power , Authority,  and  Cure

Power
Greek: dunamis     This is the Greek word they used for dynamite    explosive power !
Ability, Able:

is
(a) "power, ability," physical or moral, as residing in a person or thing;

(b) "power in action," as, e.g., when put forth in performing miracles. It occurs 118 times in the NT. It is sometimes used of the miracle or sign itself, the effect being put for the cause, e.g., Mar 6:5, frequently in the Gospels and Acts. In 1Cr 14:11 it is rendered "meaning;" "force" would be more accurate. Cp., the corresponding verbs, B. 1, 2, 3 and the adjective C. 1, below.
See ABUNDANCE, DEED, MIGHT, POWER, STRENGTH, VIOLENCE, VIRTUE, WORK.

Greek: exousia
Authority:

denotes "authority" (from the impersonal verb exesti, "it is lawful"). From the meaning of "leave or permission," or liberty of doing as one pleases, it passed to that of "the ability or strength with which one is endued," then to that of the "power of authority," the right to exercise power, e.g., Mat 9:6; 21:23; 2Cr 10:8; or "the power of rule or government," the power of one whose will and commands must be obeyed by others, e.g., Mat 28:18; Jhn 17:2; Jud 1:25; Rev 12:10; 17:13; more specifically of apostolic "authority," 2Cr 10:8; 13:10; the "power" of judicial decision, Jhn 19:10; of "managing domestic affairs," Mar 13:34. By metonymy, or name-change (the substitution of a suggestive word for the name of the thing meant), it stands for "that which is subject to authority or rule," Luk 4:6 (RV, "authority," for the AV "power"); or, as with the English "authority," "one who possesses authority, a ruler, magistrate," Rom 13:1-3; Luk 12:11; Tts 3:1; or "a spiritual potentate," e.g., Eph 3:10; 6:12; Col 1:16; 2:10, 15; 1Pe 3:22. The RV usually translates it "authority."
In 1Cr 11:10 it is used of the veil with which a woman is required to cover herself in an assembly or church, as a sign of the Lord's "authority" over the church.
See JURISDICTION, LIBERTY, POWER, RIGHT, STRENGTH.


CURE          "to heal, restore to health, to cure;" it is usually translated "to heal," but "cure" in Mat 17:16, 18; Luk 7:21; 9:1; Jhn 5:10, Act 28:9, RV.
See HEAL, WORSHIP.

He gave his disciples the power to cast out devils and to lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.    The church in Acts is our example as to the working of these signs Many were healed by the disciples even Peters shadow it says as he passed by, and it was all by faith of the person being healed. Jesus said your faith has made you whole, the woman touched his garment and was healed.

Mar 16:15 ASV - And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation.  these promises are for those that believe it says to the Whole creation its says into all the World. To the ends of the earth
Mar 16:17 ASV - And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in my name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues;  Here is the dynamite power to loose people that are bound and in torment.   And the word says tongues are for a sign,
Mar 16:18 ASV - they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.       ,
 Mat 16:18 ASV - And I also say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.,   Mar 16:18  they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. .   Now this verse is abused greatly to the fact that it is not discerned by the Holy Ghost there is the letter of the word and than the spirit of the word.     2Cr 3:6 ASV - who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.      To take up serpents , I believe this is speaking of spiritual warfare doing battle with the enemy.    Eph 6:12 ASV - For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual [hosts] of wickedness in the heavenly [places].      2Cr 10:4 ASV - (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds),
2Cr 10:5 ASV - casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ;    Satans battle is for our minds.

             Take in the       Greek: airo
 Bear:         signifies
(a) "to raise up, to lift, to take upon oneself and carry what has been raised, physically" (its most frequent use), or as applied to the mind, "to suspend, to keep in suspense," as in Jhn 10:24, lit., "How long doth thou suspend our souls?;"  Looking on the serpent on the lifted pole

(b) "to take away what is attached to anything, to remove," as of Christ, in taking (or "bearing," marg.) away the sin of the world, Jhn 1:29; Christ "was manifested to take away sins," 1Jo 3:5, where, not the nature of the Atonement is in view, but its effect in the believer's life.     The Greek word serpent in this verse         Greek: ophis  Serpent:
 the characteristics of the "serpent" as alluded to in Scripture are mostly evil (though Mat 10:16 refers to its caution in avoiding danger); its treachery, Gen 49:17; 2Cr 11:3; its venom, Psa 58:4; 1Cr 10:9; Rev 9:19; its skulking, Job 26:13; its murderous proclivities, e.g., Psa 58:4; Pro 23:32; Ecc 10:8, 11; Amo 5:19; Mar 16:18; Luk 10:19; the Lord used the word metaphorically of the scribes and Pharisees, Mat 23:33 (cp. echidna, "viper," in Mat 3:7; 12:34). The general aspects of its evil character are intimated in the Lord's rhetorical question in Mat 7:10; Luk 11:11. Its characteristics are concentrated in the arch-adversary of God and man, the Devil, metaphorically described as the serpent, 2Cr 11:3; Rev 12:9, 14, 15; 20:2. The brazen "serpent" lifted up by Moses was symbolical of the means of salvation provided by God, in Christ and His vicarious death under the Divine judgment upon sin, Jhn 3:14. While the living "serpent" symbolizes sin in its origin, hatefulness, and deadly effect, the brazen "serpent" symbolized the bearing away of the curse and the judgement of sin; the metal was itself figurative of the righteousness of God's judgment.

 Mark 16:18 is speaking of the Spiritual warfare that takes place when the power of Jesus and his gifts are made manifest to all. Take authority over the devil binding the strong man first and than plundering his house fighting for the souls of mankind   Mat 16:18 ASV - And I also say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.   metaphorically, of the "gates" at the entrances of the ways leading to life and to destruction and it says the gates of hell to keep you out and others in.       And the word church means the called out ones the ones who believe this word and manifest it in their life's, and who is the Rock ?   Christ Jesus and him crucified there is power in his blood       . Jesus said if I be lifted up,  (Moses and the serpent on the pole)  I will draw all men unto me.  Eph 6:11 ASV - Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.     
Eph 6:12 ASV - For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual [hosts] of wickedness in the heavenly [places].  This is how Jesus could say Father forgive them they know not what they do. Our enemy is spiritual, demonic you must see and realize we war against satan and his forces the demons of hell.   Not flesh and blood of men and women,    people are controlled by this evil so God made a way of escape through Christ Jesus and his wonderful sacrifice .  And Jesus said they SHALL cast out devils.  Jesus said deliverance is the children's Bread to those that come for help believing in Christ
Eph 6:13 ASV - Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand.


Mar 16:19 ASV - So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken unto them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.
Mar 16:20 ASV - And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen.
Mar 16:17 ASV - And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in my name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues;
Mar 16:18 ASV - they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Mar 16:19 ASV - So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken unto them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.
Mar 16:20 ASV - And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen. It says the Lord was working with them this is after his going to the father. And if Jesus abides in you he will work through you also by his spirit.
Luke 9:5       And as many as receive you not, when ye depart from that city, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony against them .        Strong's Number: g3039      Greek: likmao

Dust:
primarily, "to winnow" (from likmos, "a winnowing-fan"), hence, "to scatter" as chaff or dust, is used in Mat 21:44; Luk 20:18, RV, "scatter as dust," AV, "grind to powder." There are indications in the papyri writings that the word came to denote "to ruin, to destroy."   This is speaking of people rejecting the word of God, dust being from the earth and earth is a type of our flesh,    they love the world more than the word of truth.  Separating the Wheat from the Chaff       Mat 21:44 ASV - And he that falleth on this stone shall be broken to pieces: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust.  Jesus told his disciples to shake the dust from their feet as a sign.   Dust is the fine particles of earth, man is made from the earth (1cor 15 )   born of the loins of Adam and under the curse of Adam. Rom 8:3 ASV - For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:  They rejected Christ and his sacrifice of blood.   This is a very sobering thought I do not believe they went back again ,       Mar 6:11 ASV - And whatsoever place shall not receive you, and they hear you not, as ye go forth thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony unto them.
Greek: marturion
Testimony:
"a testimony, witness," is almost entirely translated "testimony" in both AV and RV. The only place where both have "witness" is Act 4:33. In Act 7:44; Jam 5:3, the RV has "testimony" (AV, "witness").In 2Th 1:10, "our testimony unto you," RV, refers to the fact that the missionaries, besides proclaiming the truths of the gospel, had borne witness to the power of these thruths.Kerugma, "the thing preached, the message," is objective, having especially to do with the effect on the hearers;marturion is mainly subjective, having to do especially with the preacher's personal experience. In 1Ti 2:6 the RV is important, "the testimony (i.e., of the gospel) to be borne in its own times," i.e., in the times Divinely appointed for it, namely, the present age, from Pentecost till the church is complete. In Rev 15:5, in the phrase, "the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in Heaven," the "testimony" is the witness to the rights of God, denied and refused on earth, but about to be vindicated by the exercise of the judgments under the pouring forth of the seven bowls or vials of Divine retribution. 
See WITNESS.
There is no guarantee of a long fulfilling life on the earth ,  Jesus said do not worry about tomorrow     Mat 6:34 ASV - Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.   If the word says he is coming as a thief in the night no man knows his return.  And you do not know Jesus or submit to his authority and his word. How much time do you believe you have to wait.        Luk 12:16 ASV - And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
Luk 12:17 ASV - and he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where to bestow my fruits?
Luk 12:18 ASV - And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my grain and my goods.
Luk 12:19 ASV - And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry.
Luk 12:20 ASV - But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?
Luk 12:21 ASV - So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.    If you are not wash in the blood of the lamb and you are reading this now,  God is calling !

Mat 21:44 ASV - And he that falleth on this stone shall be broken to pieces: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust.   Mat 13:30 ASV - Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.     Psa 19:9 ASV - The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever: The ordinances of Jehovah are true, [and] righteous altogether.


Jesus said count the cost, Pick up your cross and follow him
