You Were Given Dominion

God Gave You Real Authority

Before Jesus ever walked the earth, God established a relationship with humanity built on trust, purpose, and authority. From the beginning, humans were created with the dignity of choice, the privilege of relationship, and the responsibility of stewardship. But when sin entered the world, something far deeper than disobedience occurred—humanity surrendered the authority God entrusted to them. The crucifixion of Jesus reveals the depth of God’s commitment to restore what was lost, reclaim what was stolen, and redeem what was broken.

Jesus came to reclaim authority that humanity had forfeited. His mission wasn’t only about forgiveness; it was about restoration. Through His death, the rightful order between God and His people was reestablished. Everything the enemy gained through deception began to unravel the moment Jesus willingly embraced the cross.

Stop Blaming God for What Sin Broke

It’s easy to look at suffering, injustice, or personal pain and wonder why God allows such things. Yet Scripture makes it clear: God is not the author of chaos. Sin fractured God’s perfect world, and its consequences ripple through every generation. But through the sacrifice of Christ on the cross, God launched a rescue mission not only to save humanity but to reverse the effects of sin’s destruction.

The cross stands as the greatest reminder that God does not cause the brokenness we experience—He came to heal it. Jesus stepped into a fallen world, not to condemn it but to redeem it through love, sacrifice, and obedience. When we understand this truth, our perspective shifts, and we stop attributing to God what sin has caused. The cross proves His heart has always been to restore.

The Enemy Lied His Way Into Power

The enemy did not steal authority through force—he gained it through deception. By tricking humanity into doubting God’s goodness, he gained influence over hearts and minds. But the crucifixion of Jesus exposed that deception and broke its power. Jesus defeated the enemy not through physical strength but through truth, surrender, and perfect obedience.

When Jesus declared, “It is finished,” the spiritual structure of darkness cracked. Lies lost their power. Deception lost its voice. Fear lost its throne. Jesus reclaimed authority, not only for Himself but for every believer who would stand in that victory.

You’re Waiting on God, but God Is Waiting on You

You Have the Holy Spirit—Use Him

Through His death and resurrection, Jesus opened the way for believers to receive the Holy Spirit—a gift that empowers, guides, and strengthens. The work Jesus completed at the cross made it possible for God’s presence to dwell within us, not just among us. This means you are never powerless, never abandoned, and never fighting alone. The crucifixion of jesus made it possible for Heaven to live within you.

The Holy Spirit is not a symbol; He is power. Jesus’ sacrifice created a way for believers to walk in supernatural strength. When you feel weak, He is strong. When you feel lost, He leads. When you feel afraid, He fills you with courage and truth.

Stop Waiting for God to Move What He Told You to Confront

Many believers wait for God to remove fear, temptation, or spiritual pressure, when God has already given us the authority to stand against those things. The cross didn’t make you a bystander—it made you a warrior. The victory Jesus won through His death empowered you to speak truth, resist darkness, and walk in freedom.

When you resist the enemy, even with trembling faith, he must flee. Not might flee—must flee. Jesus reinforced your authority through His sacrifice, ensuring that you never face spiritual battles empty-handed.

Push Back When Darkness Pushes

Darkness doesn’t push at random. It pushes where you are growing. It pushes where you carry authority. It pushes where you are becoming dangerous to the kingdom of darkness. The crucifixion of Jesus ensures that darkness can never overpower a believer standing in truth.

Jesus gave you divine authority, spiritual courage, and Holy Spirit endurance. You push back with Scripture. You push back with prayer. You push back by standing firm when everything inside you feels tired. Your resistance exposes darkness, weakens lies, and strengthens your spirit.

Understanding Why Darkness Pushes

Darkness Pushes Where You Don’t Know Your Authority

Spiritual ignorance creates spiritual vulnerability. When believers forget the authority Jesus restored through His sacrifice, the enemy gains room to intimidate, confuse, or discourage. But the finished work of Christ shattered the enemy’s influence and called you into a life of confidence, strength, and clarity.

Truth is your shield. Knowledge is your protection. Understanding what Jesus accomplished at the cross changes the way you fight spiritual battles.

Darkness Tests Your Boundaries

Darkness presses to see who you believe—God or fear. But when you stand firm, even in shaky faith, the enemy loses ground. Jesus’ sacrifice guarantees that darkness does not get the final say. The authority He restored through His death empowers you to set spiritual boundaries the enemy cannot cross.

Your endurance sends a clear message: your life is anchored in the One who already won.

Darkness Pushes Because It Knows Its Time Is Short

Every battle intensifies near a breakthrough. Darkness pushes hardest right before it loses its grip. Revelation reminds us that the enemy’s time is limited, and the crucifixion of Jesus sealed that truth forever.

Your resistance is not in vain. It is spiritual warfare rooted in a victory Jesus already secured. When you stand in what He accomplished, darkness cannot remain.

How to Push Back with Spiritual Strength

1. Speak God’s Word Aloud

Jesus confronted the enemy through spoken truth, not silent thoughts. Scripture spoken aloud carries spiritual authority because it aligns your heart with what God already declared. The crucifixion of Jesus gives every believer the right to wield the Word of God with confidence.

2. Refuse to Agree with Fear

Fear will always whisper, but you don’t have to agree with it. Jesus’ sacrifice broke fear’s authority, and every time you reject fear, you reclaim territory Jesus purchased at the cross. “Every time you turn away from fear’s voice, you strengthen your spirit to hear God’s truth more clearly and respond with faith instead of anxiety.”

3. Stand Firm Even When You Feel Weak

Standing firm is not about emotional strength—it’s about spiritual alignment. Through His death, Jesus secured your victory, so even weak faith becomes powerful when anchored in Him. The power of His sacrifice strengthens your endurance.

4. Use the Authority Jesus Restored to You

Jesus didn’t die to leave you powerless; He died to restore what was lost. Through the cross, He placed authority back into the hands of His people. The crucifixion of Jesus ensures you can walk boldly, resist confidently, and confront darkness without intimidation.
