It’s possible to ‘be in charge’ but to lack authority. Authority matters. Authority is the difference between having people respect & listen to you and having them disrespect & ignore you. But what is our authority in Christ over evil and the powers of darkness? How can we discover and live into it more fully? Why does this matter? How does this all work?

Know The Truth
Jesus went face to face with the Devil once… and he ‘won’. So how can we ‘win’ in our battle with temptation, testing, and with evil itself? What's the role of Scripture in Spiritual Warfare?
Know Your King
We live in a world of competing Kingdoms; the Kingdom of Darkness vs the Kingdom of Light. To live in the Kingdom of Darkness is to align ourselves with that Kingdom’s ideology and ‘king’.

And how does knowing this King impact the way we engage in the battle?
