Wouldn’t it be a weird sight if your feet were sticking out of your head, and you were walking around with your shoes up there? But that’s the way some Christians view the power of the Church. They say, “Oh, Jesus has all the power, and He’s in heaven, and He’s the head of the Church.” But Paul said all things were put under our feet. What do the feet belong to? They belong to the Body of Christ, so all things were put under our feet.

It’s easy to come to church, sing a chorus about having the devil under our feet, and march around saying, “You’re under our feet, Satan.” But when you walk out the church doors and sickness tries to come on you, you sing a different tune. Then you say, “O God, help! Do something!”
No, you should do something. God has already done everything He’s going to do about it. He said for you to take authority over these attacks. He said, “Whatsoever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven” (Matt. 16:19).
In other words, God will back up what we say. In fact, it’s already backed up, because God has already done it.
…According to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. And He put all things under His feet….
(Eph. 1:19-22)
In this passage we see the phrase “far above.” Far above! That’s why I’m not frightened of sickness or paralysis anymore.
When sickness comes, many people say, “Well, Lord, if You don’t heal me, it’s going to make me look bad.” That’s what they’re really saying.
Don’t worry about your reputation! In that Name that is far above every name that is named, take authority over that sickness.
Everything on this earth has a name. There is coming a day when every name on this earth is going to bow their knee to that Name (Heb. 14:11). Even the ones who curse now, the ones who laugh at you now, and the ones who don’t get right with God before they die—they’re all going to bow to that Name.
Satan has already been whipped, and he will have to bow to that Name. You have the power of attorney to use that Name.
