I had a vision of an officer of the law dressed in uniform and belted with weapons.
He was standing in the center of his assigned jurisdiction.
Jurisdiction:
The legal power or authority of doing justice in cases of complaint; the power of executing the laws and distributing justice.
Power of governing or legislating.
The power or right of exercising authority.
The limit (boundaries) within which power may be exercised.
He
knew the laws of the land and was appointed to execute them. He was
trained to discern those who violated the law and empowered with
authority to arrest and bring them to justice. Thus he was equipped with
all the training and tools he needed to fulfill his commission;
however, the officer seemed to be paralyzed or asleep on his feet while
the criminals wreaked havoc about him.
I heard the Lord
say, "You, My people, are like this officer. You possess jurisdiction -
the power of governing - your body, soul, spirit, and all that lies
within the realm of your responsibility. You know My Word and by it can
discern between good and evil, truth and error. The Holy Spirit Himself
dwells in you, and you are empowered with My authority. Your commission
is to exercise it over every work of darkness that seeks to invade your
jurisdiction.
And yet the enemy has convinced many of you that you
do not have the ability to identify, arrest, and execute My judgment
against him - and thus make him stop. This lie has emasculated your
spiritual power and annihilated your threat against him.
I
am awakening afresh those who have been paralyzed and calling you forth
to remember your spiritual identity. Do whatever it takes to convince
yourself of the reality of your delegated authority. Learn it, practice
it, and exercise it to remove the enemy from your areas of
responsibility. This personal revival will act as a trigger that will
generate the breakthrough you have desired and needed to defeat the
enemy's
attacks against you. That is your commission; do the work!"
Luke
9:1-2 When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power
and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent
them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
John 5:30 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because
I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.
