If we misuse the given power and authority to us by God, we become controlling, manipulative and abusing people, and if we do not repent on time we are usurping authority and walking into witchcraft.

1. KNOWING YOUR
POWER, AUTHORITY
AND YOUR TERRITORY

2. LEARNING TO PROPHESY
MARCH 30, 2016
MARCO LAFEBRE

3. • As we grow in our gifting we
sense the need to expand our
territory of action.
• For this we need to know the
resources available to us.
• Lets have a look to where
power and authority comes
from.

4. YOUR POWER
The Holy Spirit empowers you.

5. Luke 24:48-49 (NKJV)
• 48 And you are witnesses of
these things. 49 Behold, I send
the Promise of My Father upon
you; but tarry in the city of
Jerusalem until you are endued
with power from on high.”

6. Acts 4:31 (NKJV)
• 31 And when they had prayed,
the place where they were
assembled together was
shaken; and they were all filled
with the Holy Spirit, and they
spoke the word of God with
boldness.

7. Acts 10:44-45 (NKJV)
• The Holy Spirit Falls on the Gentiles
• 44 While Peter was still speaking these
words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those
who heard the word. 45 And those of the
circumcision who believed were
astonished, as many as came with
Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit
had been poured out on the Gentiles
also.

8. The Anointing
is our Power
• The presence of the Holy Spirit
and His anointing in our lives
help us to live a holy life.
• The presence of the Holy Spirit
and His anointing upon us, help
us to be mighty in ministry.
• It is the anointing that works
signs and miracles!

9. YOUR AUTHORITY
Jesus gives you authority

10. Matthew
28:18-19 (NKJV)
• 18 And Jesus came and spoke to
them, saying, “All authority has
been given to Me in heaven and on
earth.
• 19 Go therefore and make disciples
of all the nations, baptizing them
in the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

11. Matthew
28:20 (NKJV)
• 20 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.
• So His authority is also with us!

12. • Jesus declares that the Spirit of
the Lord empowered Him with
the anointing.
• The same Holy Spirit that
anointed Jesus Christ anoint us
as well.
• The anointing comes to carry
out some tasks.

13. Luke 4:18-19 (NKJV)
• 18 “The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the broken
hearted, To proclaim liberty to the
captives And recovery of sight to the
blind, To set at liberty those who are
oppressed;
19 To proclaim the acceptable year of
the LORD.”

14. YOUR TERRITORY
God will delineate it

15. Mark 16:15 (NKJV)
• 15 And He said to them, “Go into
all the world and preach the
gospel to every creature.

16. Acts 1:8 (NKJV)
• 8 But you shall receive power
when the Holy Spirit has come
upon you; and you shall be
witnesses to Me in Jerusalem,
and in all Judea and Samaria,
and to the end of the earth.”

18. Jesus instruction
was very clear
• Jerusalem first. The place where you
are becomes your Jerusalem.
• Then Judea. Your neighboring
environment comes next.
• Then Samaria. You start to go out of
your boundaries.
• Finally the whole world, no limits
where you can go and minister.

19. LEVELS OF AUTHORITY
Canadian Police Enforcement

20. • As Canadians we have different
enforcement Police Institutions.

To accomplish this task, police
officers carry out specific
job duties on a regular basis,
which vary depending on the
size and type of their law
enforcement organization.

23. Off-duty officers
• An off-duty officer have the authority to detain a
shoplifting until an on-duty officer arrives to
proceed with the arrest.
• An off-duty office can still have an imposing
presence.
• An off-duty police officer might still have the
authority to make arrests.
• Off duty officers typically retain the right to carry a
concealed weapon.
• An off-duty officer might keep victims calm at an
accident scene until backup arrives.

imposing.

God vs. gifting only.
