“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with ALL spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.

According as He has chosen us in Him before the foundation of the World, that we should be holy & blameless before Him in love:

Have predestined us to the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will

To the praise of the Glory of His grace, wherein He has made us accepted in the Beloved

In Whom we have redemption through His Blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace

Wherein He has abounded toward us in all wisdom & prudence

Having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He has purposed in Himself”

Ephesians 1:3- 9

I cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory may give to you:

The Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation in the knowledge of HIM

That the eyes of your understanding being enlightened;

That you may know what is the hope of His Calling

And What the riches of the Glory of His Inheritance in the Saints

And What is the exceeding greatness of His Power TO USWARD WHO BELIEVE – according to the Working of His Mighty Power

Which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead

And set Him at His own right Hand in the heavenly places.

Ephesians 1:16-20

“For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ of whom the whole family in heaven & earth is named

That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory

To be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man;

That Christ may dwell in your hearts by Faith; That you, being grounded & rooted in Love,

May be able to comprehend with all saints What is the breadth and length and depth and height

And to know the Love of Christ – which passes knowledge

That you might be filled with all the fullness of God”

Ephesians 3:14-17

The Power of the Enemy has been defeated

in Your Life

He has no more authority over you

You are seated in Heavenly Places in Christ!

You now have authority over him!

Whose Authority Whose Power And How does it Work ?

Power is the miracle working force Authority is delegated or appointed power coming from the highest source!

All Creative Power comes from God – Genesis 1:1

“Behold I give you power to tread on serpents & scorpions & over all the power of the enemy nothing shall be any means hurt you’ Luke 10:18

“Then He called his disciples together & gave them power & authority over all devils, & to cure diseases.” Luke 9:1

“All authority is given to Me in Heaven and in earth. Go therefore, & teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 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.” Matt.28:20

“The Aiteo-Ask Factor” A Key to Authority in God to Release His PowerScriptures related to prayer in the New Testament use the Greek word “aiteo” to mean “ask” or “desire.” Understanding “aiteo” is the key to understanding our authority in Christ to demand God’s power to operate. God’s power can’t work unless we ask Him

“Aiteo” means to demand the One in authority to act because Covenant promises have been made and requirements have been met. Jesus’ Bloodshed on Calvary legally met all of sin’s requirements. He is our Blood Covenant Partner!

“Aiteo” means you are intensely focused on getting promised action

“Aiteo-Ask” is best translated: Require-Demand-Expect

John 14:12-14 Jesus Gives Us His Authority

“Verily, verily I say unto you, He that believes (pistis) on Me, The works that I do, shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to My Father.”

And whatsoever you shall ask (“aiteo” require-demand-expect) in My Name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son

If you shall ask (“Aiteo)” require-demand-expect anything in My Name, I will do it.”Jesus is Now in Heaven with the Father He is depending on Us to finish His work!

Using the Name of Jesus As the Believer’s Authority

Releases the Power of God

Jesus teaches “Aiteo-Ask” Matthew 7:7-8, Luke 11:9-13

“Ask (aiteo require-demand-expect) and it shall be given to you, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you. For everyone that asks (aiteo requires-demands-expects) receives, and to him that knocks, it shall be opened. What man is there of you, whom if his son asks (aiteo requires-demands-expects) bread, will give him a stone, or if he ask (aiteo requires-demands-expects ) a fish, will he give him a serpent?

If you then being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father which is in Heaven give the Holy Ghost to them that ask (aiteo require-demand-expect)?

Jesus says ask/aiteo!

Require-Demand-Expect

“Behold, I give you power (exousia- authority) to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power (dunamis – power for performing miracles) and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”

“And the 70 returned with joy, saying

Lord, even the devils are subject to us

through Your Name.”

And He said to them, “I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.”

“Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”

Luke 10:17-20

“Be is known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead…by Him does this man stand before you whole.

This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head cornerstone.

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Peter in Acts 4:10-12

“Then Peter said to them, Repent, and be baptized, everyone of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gitt of the Holy Spirit.” Acts 2:38 Salvation in the Name of Jesus

“Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have I give you: In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazereth rise up and walk.” Acts 3:6 Healing in the Name of Jesus

“And they called the disciples and commanded them not to speak at all or teach in the Name of Jesus.” Acts 4:18 Miracles in the Name of Jesus

“And Paul spoke boldly in the Name of Jesus and disputed against the Greeks: they sought to slay him” Acts 9:29 Supernatural Protection in the Name of Jesus

“She did this many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the Name of Jesus to come out of her. And he came out the same hour. Acts. 16:18 Casting Out Demons In His Name
