Foundation
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
"Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to
be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" (2 Tim. 2:15).
Someone who reads about how I took my authority over the spirits binding
my brother might say, "I believe I'll try that." It won't work if you
try it. I didn't just try it, I did it!
Just because someone sees a traffic policeman exercising his authority
doesn't mean they can run out in front of the cars and say, "I believe
I'll try that." No one would obey them. Now, if they would put on a
policeman's uniform and put a whistle in their mouth, people would stop.
They would recognize the authority behind the policeman.
Believers sometimes hear how someone else used their authority, and they
think, "I'll try that because I heard him say it.
It worked for him, so it will work for me." Satan knows they are not
convinced of their authority, and when they try to act on God's Word
without really having the Word built into their spirits, and without
having the solid foundation of it built into their lives, the Devil will
defeat them - and defeat them soundly.
But when you've built a foundation of the Word of God in you, and you
act on God's Word, you'll defeat the Devil in every combat!
Confession: I study to show myself approved unto God. I build the
truths of God's Word into my life and spirit. I am convinced by God's
Word of my authority. I cannot be defeated. And the Devil knows it!
