Destiny West Campus Messages with Ps./Rabbi Brian Bileci

“Now you understand that I have imparted to you all MY AUTHORITY to trample over his kingdom. You will trample upon every demon before you and overcome every power Satan possesses. Absolutely nothing will be able to harm you as you WALK IN THIS AUTHORITY.” - Luke 10:19 (TPT)

17 I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, the most glorious Father, would give you a wise spirit [KJV: “Spirit of Wisdom”], along with revelation that comes through knowing the Messiah fully. 18 Then, with the eyes of your hearts enlightened, you will know the confidence that is produced by God having called you, the rich glory that is his inheritance among the saints, 19 and the unlimited greatness of His power for us who believe, according to the working of His mighty strength, 20 which He brought about in the Messiah when He raised Him from the dead and SEATED Him at His RIGHT HAND in the heavenly realm. 21 He is far above every ruler, AUTHORITY, power, dominion, and every name that can be named, not only in the present age, but also in the one to come. 22 God has put everything under the Messiah’s feet and has made Him the head of everything for the good of the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of the one who fills everything in every way. - Ephesians 1:17-23 (ISV)
HOW TO STAY SEATED IN GOD’S AUTHORITY:
1. ACKNOWLEDGE THAT GOD IS SEATED ON HIGH IN MAJESTY

Here is the [main; most important] point of what we are saying: We have a high priest who sits on the RIGHT SIDE [“HAND”] of God’s [ the MAJESTY’S] THRONE in heaven. - Hebrews 1:1 (AMPC)

10 Therefore David blessed the Lord before all the assembly; and David said: “Blessed are You, Lord God of Israel, our Father, forever and ever. 11 Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power and the glory, the victory and the MAJESTY; For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and You are exalted as head over all. 12 Both riches and honor come from You, and You reign over all. In Your hand is power and might; In YOUR HAND it is to make great and to give strength to all. - 1 Chronicles 29:10-12 (NKJV)

2. DECLARE THE MESSIAH AS LORD SINCE HE IS SEATED AT GOD’S RIGHT HAND

“Your RIGHT HAND, O Lord, has become glorious in power. Your RIGHT HAND, O Lord, has dashed the enemy in pieces. - Exodus 15:6 (NLT)

63...“tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.” 64 Jesus replied, “You have said it. And in the future you will see the Son of Man SEATED in the place of power at God’s RIGHT HAND and coming on the clouds of heaven.” - Matthew 26:63-64 (NLT)

...20 This power He exercised in Messiah when He raised Him from the dead and SEATED Him at His RIGHT HAND in heaven. - Ephesians 1:19-20 (TLV)

• The Father’s Authority is enthroned in Majesty
• Jesus, the God’s Son, is enthroned on His Right Hand
• We are seated with the Messiah as His Royal Court of Authority

3. TAKE YOUR ROYAL SEAT IN HEAVENLY PLACES AND MAKE JESUS YOUR KING

...6 He raised us up with Him and SEATED us in the HEAVENLY REALMS with our beloved Jesus the Anointed [“MESSIAH”], the Liberating King... - Ephesians 2:4-8 (VOICE)

1 Then I saw THRONES, and those who SAT on them were given authority to judge. 2 I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. 3 They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or hands. 4 They came back to life and ruled with the Messiah for a thousand years. - Revelation 20:1-4 (ISV)
