The name of Jesus is your badge.
That phrase went off in my spirit when I heard it. God dealt with me about the fact that Christians need to know and remind themselves about the authority they have in the Name of Jesus of Nazareth. Actually, the Name of Jesus is your badge!
When you get up in the morning, you need to put on the whole armor of God. I’d like to suggest that you see yourself putting on that badge of authority along with the rest of your spiritual armor.
When you do, say, “Devil, don’t touch my stuff! Don’t touch my stuff! Enough is enough!”
How many of you have had your paycheck eaten up? The minute you got everything paid off, the car or the washing machine broke down.
The Bible says, “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.” (James 4:7-8)
What’s happening is that people are resisting God and drawing nigh (near) to the devil.
Draw nigh to the right one! This is what I mean: You wake up in the morning, feel pain from that old spirit of arthritis, and say, “Oh, my arthritis!” What you’re doing is resisting God. You’re resisting healing, and you’re drawing nigh to that arthritis.
When you know you have a badge of spiritual authority, you can get up in the morning and say to that spirit of arthritis, “No! Get out of here in the Name of Jesus!”
Say and believe it with faith, and it will go off in your spirit as well.
