What is the nature of authority? What about power? How is power different from authority? How do we receive these? God promises us authority and power. We find this in Scripture, but the promise isn’t without conditions.

Authority comes as God speaks, and faith is that God-given authority to accomplish whatever God has spoken to us. And yet, faith, in itself, lacks the power to do anything. Grace is the power of God to accomplish His will through us. Satan has power but no authority. Notice the ramifications if we try to exercise spiritual power without authority.
