Authority in Prayer: Praying with Power and Purpose
Beginning with your private world--your thoughts, body, actions,
and ultimately your God-ordained destiny--you can take charge.
Authority is yours for the taking.
Then, because God established and so honors the principle of
authority, He will back you as you walk in the government He has
delegated to you concerning your extended world--your home, family,
business, and possessions.
Finally, God's plan is for you to partner with Him on the earth in
broader realms of influence and authority--your universal world.
Jesus, the sovereign King over the earth, wants to rule
institutions, cultures, societies, and governments through you and
your prayers.
Authority in Prayer will show you how to take hold of God's
promises and pray with the authority He wants you to have. God
needs you. Are you ready to use your God-given authority to further
His kingdom?

Top Highlights
“The root concept behind authority is authorship, not as in writing but as in origination or creation. One has authority over what one authors. A creator determines the purpose of his creation and holds all rights to it.” (source)
“To the Greeks in Christ’s day an ekklesia was an assembly of people set apart to govern the affairs of a state or nation—in essence, a parliament or congress. To the Romans, it was a group of people sent into a conquered region to alter the culture until it became like Rome. Realizing this was the ideal way to control their empire, they infiltrated government, social structure, language, schools, etc., until the people talked, thought, and acted like Romans.” (source)
“It’s obvious from Scripture that God works on the earth through humans, not independently of them.” (source)
“The more you learn to govern your world the way God intends, the more His cause prospers.” (source)
“That God is Author and Creator of the earth and all it contains settles the issue of ultimate authority over it. Jesus has always maintained His ownership and authority. (Again, the authority He won back at Calvary was what Adam lost, not His own.) Little wonder that Satan, through theories of macroevolution and other forms of humanist thinking, wants to dispel belief in God as Creator, for if He is the author of all creation, then He has authority over all creation, including humankind. If He is not the creator, then authority over the earth and all it contains is up for grabs.” (source)
