Adrian Rogers: Kingdom Authority (1942)

Adrian Rogers: Kingdom Authority (1942)
Scripture Passage: Ephesians 1:15-2:6
As Christians, most of us can accept that Jesus Christ is King and He has authority. However, some of us fail to grasp that He has given that kingdom authority to His servants.
Ephesians 1:22-23 says, “And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.”
We’re in a spiritual battle, up against the organized, mobilized, and demonized powers of Hell. Therefore, we must understand what kingdom authority is in order to utilize it.
First, kingdom authority over all God's creation was gloriously given to Adam. God made us to have dominion; it is the very reason we were created.
Second, that kingdom authority was legally lost by Adam. When tempted by the devil, Adam and Eve failed to use the kingdom authority that God had given to them, and therefore, they became slaves of Satan.
Third, kingdom authority has been righteously regained by Jesus Christ. Adrian Rogers says, “God owes Satan nothing, but God owes everything to His own justice and His own holiness; Jesus Christ came to this Earth as the second Adam, to gain back what the first Adam lost.”
Kingdom authority was lost by a man, and it was legally regained by a man: “For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive” (1 Corinthians 15:21-22).
Adrian Rogers says, “Jesus died that we might have spiritual authority, not to do what we want, but authority to do what He wishes.”
Until you are under the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, His Word, and the things God has set over you, you will never live with authority.
The devil hopes that you will not understand the incredible power we’ve been given; that he can keep you in the dark. If we ever utilize kingdom authority, all of Heaven will break loose.
Apply it to your life
If you are struggling to claim your kingdom authority, remember: the same weapons that belonged to Adam in the Garden of Eden were the weapons that Jesus Christ used in the wilderness. Spend some time in Scripture, saturating your life in the Word and in the Spirit of God, that you may understand your kingdom authority.

When God created the heavens and the earth, He declared that it was good (perfect), and gave man the authority of dominion over all of God's creation. The kingdom authority as Pastor Rodgers states in his sermon.
The angles were created for a different purpose in heaven, but one became proud, and lifted up in his own pride, pronounced that he could be come like God, and set out to establish his own kingdom on earth.
Adam had that Kingdom authority, but lost it. God so loved the world, that he gave his only son to pay the price for our sin (past, present, and future). Through Christ shed blood, we have that kingdom authority, but wrestle with our old sin nature, against principalities, against evil in high places.
But God has given us the equipment and armor to fight...and being soldiers of the cross, we are to do all that we can.
