The Mt Kenya Times 
Imagine, for the sake of illustration, a driver in a big tractor-trailer not caring for traffic policemen in a Kenyan road. He could ease his foot off the brake and a policeman can’t stop him or delay his progress one iota. Physically, the policeman can’t do anything. The giant tractor-trailer is so much larger than the policeman, it would be no contest. But the man in the truck can NOT DARE do such a thing. If he even entertains such a thought, he CAN NOT do it. He knows that behind that policeman were all the other policemen in Kenya. If that were not enough, they could call out the CIS. And if that were not enough, they could get the Army, Navy, and the Air Force.
This is what you call delegated power. When God Almighty saves our soul, He does not hide us like a hermit in some place of seclusion. He sets us right in the midst of the intersections of life. Satan comes roaring down on us like a lion seeking whom he might devour. It seems that he is going to gobble us up. (And, sad to say, many Christians tuck their heads and run.) They run in fear and defeat. But thank God for those who stand. If you will hold up your hand and, in the name of Jesus, resist the devil and command him to stop, he must stop. That is what Scripture says. Now, there are many reasons why he stops. But one of the main reasons is this: he knows that behind you are all the holy angels. He knows within you is the Holy Spirit. He knows that behind the Holy Spirit is the Lord Jesus Christ. And behind the Lord Jesus Christ is God the Father. He doesn’t dare come up against this type of power. This is authority!
This is THE AUTHORITY YOU HAVE AS A CHILD OF GOD.So when you stand in the intersections of life, with Satan coming against you with every type of problem he can bring your way, do not run. Don’t fold over in defeat. Hold up your hand and, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, command Satan to stop! The Lord Jesus Christ promised, “Whatsoever you bind (or stop) on earth, shall be bound in heaven. Whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” So you see, the problems of this world are caused by Satan. And, sad to say, Christians allow them to happen. I am not trying to say that every minor incident is caused by the failure of the child of God to exercise his authority in the Lord Jesus Christ. But many things are!
SELAH! GLORY TO GOD WHO ENLIGHTENS.
