Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free,” (John 8:31-32).
This Scripture has a deep meaning. First of all we must believe in Him that He is the Son of God, died for our sin and rose again and now sitting in the right hand of our Father. Then we must meditate and abide in His word. In other words, we must be His disciples. Then His word will give us the knowledge of the truth. The knowledge of the truth will set us free.
Unfortunately, so many are suffering and facing tragedy one after the other. They say prayer with no result. So, they blame God. But God has given us the power and authority. He expects us to read and meditate on His word and to apply His word to our situation and circumstances.
There is a time to pray and there is a time to take authority. For example, if the mother or father has any kind of virus, aids, or sicknesses or diseases and when they get a child that child carry that virus, aids, or the diseases the parents were carrying. Now the child is innocent, yet that child bears whatever the parents were carrying.
Sin of the parents or of the forefathers comes on a child unless and until we break that power in the Name of Jesus. Some sickness or diseases can be thru natural cause. When the sickness, or disease cannot respond to the physicians treatment then one has to realize that it is beyond the natural. It is a generational curse or a familiar spirit is operating in that person’s life. In that case, one has to take authority by the power of the Blood of Jesus and by the authority of the word of God and in the Name of Jesus.
The good news is that one do not have to suffer because Jesus has given the believers the power and authority over the power of the enemy. “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you,” (Luke 10:19). Jesus has given the power and authority to the disciples, therefore, it is up to the believers to take the authority over the demonic power that which is causing the sickness or tragedy and set the person free in the Name of Jesus. “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,” (Philippians 2:9-10).
