<\/a><\/p>\nSt. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our refuge against the wickedness and snares of the devil.<\/span>Order him God, the urgency now we ask you, Prince of celestial militia, by divine virtue, cast into\u00a0hell Satan and other evil spirits that walk the world for the losing of souls.\u00a0<\/span>Amen.<\/span><\/p>\n Who is like God? No\u00a0<\/span>one like God!<\/span><\/p>\n To understand the meaning of this preaching we must understand the meaning of the word authority: what is an author, founder of a family, a proponent. <\/span>We understand then that this term is bound to “make grow,” so the authority is the one that makes things grow.<\/span><\/p>\n St. Paul’s letter to the Romans says that all authority comes from God, who is the author, the source. <\/span>All authority comes from him. <\/span>The Father wanted \u00a0it this way so He gave Him the name that is above every name.<\/span><\/p>\n When we see that the Church began with 12 men who were afraid, they\u00a0couldn’t understand the signs of Jesus, were disputing who wanted to be the biggest, but the Church began with them who were hard\u00a0heads.<\/p>\n God made the Church to grow from them. <\/span>Why did she grow? <\/span>Because of the authority, God as the source of all authority grows. <\/span>Things in the Kingdom of God tend to grow, because the Lord is great.<\/span><\/p>\n We are in a spiritual battle, therefore, our weapons are not carnal, we can’t fight, merely in human form, for this fight God wants to give us a spiritual authority coming from the name of Jesus.<\/p>\n “Because he taught them as having authority; <\/span>and not as the scribes. ” <\/span>(Matthew 7.29)<\/span><\/p>\n Many times, we see the spiritual authority as\u00a0\u00a0only a face, its\u00a0ward off demons. <\/span>But it’s not just this sense, it is also to make an experience of God, to proclaim a blessing on this house.<\/span><\/p>\n Jesus has authority to the point where the angels serve him, coming to him. He\u00a0<\/span>also gives us the authority of heaven to be for us and to serve us.<\/span><\/p>\n “If there is any encouragement in Christ, any solace in love, any participation in the Spirit, any compassion and mercy,complete my joy by being of the same mind, with the same love, united in heart, thinking one thing.Do nothing out of selfishness or out of vainglory; rather, humbly regard others as more important than yourselves,each looking out not for his own interests, but [also] everyone for those of others.<\/span>” <\/span>(Philippians -2:1-4 NABRE)<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n When writing this letter the Apostle Paul expresses affection to Philippians, because he\u00a0loved them greatly. <\/span>At this time he was arrested because of the name of Jesus, suffered greatly in the prison of Ephesus, but he exercised his ministry with much spiritual authority. <\/span>He had such an anointing, people approaching and touched his cloak\u00a0were cured. <\/span>The people stood in awe of the spiritual authority of the Ministry of Paul.<\/span><\/p>\n Reached by the name of Jesus the blessing, healing and deliverance.<\/p>\n “Who, though he was in the form of God,did not regard equality with God something to be grasped.Rather, he emptied himself,taking the form of a slave,coming in human likeness;and found human in appearance,he humbled himself,becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross.<\/span>” <\/span>(Philippians 2, 6-8)<\/span><\/p>\n There is a secret to achieve spiritual authority.<\/strong> Saint Ant\u00e3o<\/span>\u00a0in a vision saw\u00a0thousands of traps scattered over the Earth by Satan and asked: “who can get rid of these traps?” in his heart he heard: “humility”. <\/span>It was the humility of Jesus that defeated Satan.<\/span><\/p>\n The humility of Jesus does not negate\u00a0the quality of God. <\/span>Humility is not be or feel small, itis to make small, one who serves. <\/span>Jesus did not hold His\u00a0divine form, stripped Himself of it taking the form of a slave.<\/span><\/p>\n Want to have spiritual authority? <\/span>Make yourself a servant, small. <\/span>This is the secret to getting evil away from your life.<\/span><\/p>\n St Paul although weight does not fail to make himself servant. <\/span>The same thing with the Virgin Mary who recognizes her\u00a0place there and always at the service. <\/span>There are people who are close to God and want to serve him with the King in the belly “. <\/span>The person becomes inaccessible, no one approaches, no one touches.<\/span><\/p>\n God is empty and if it lowers the devil does the opposite way. <\/span>“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, who didst rise in the morning? how art thou fallen to the earth, that didst wound the nations? And thou saidst in thy heart: I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, I will sit in the mountain of the covenant, in the sides of the north. I will ascend above the height of the clouds, I will be like the most High. But yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, into the depth of the pit.”<\/span><\/em>(Isaiah 14, 12-15).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n This is the desire of the devil, rise and take the place of God. <\/span>Learn that the Foundation of prayer is humility. <\/span>When you bend your knee, bow before God and love, it’s impossible to fall into sin.<\/span>When you pray to God giving control of your life the devil goes away. <\/span>Converse with God, not with the devil. <\/span>Prayer is dialogue with the Lord and he responds.<\/span><\/p>\n Adore, be a person\u00a0of faith, constantly in prayer. <\/span>We need the authority of the name of Jesus, the Holy Spirit is the seal, the mark of God in us.<\/span><\/p>\n It is proper of saints to have humility. <\/span>God is giving you a place, a\u00a0touch\u00a0for you to stay protected, this touch\u00a0is called humility. <\/span>He wants to visit you\u00a0in this place.<\/span><\/p>\n Alexandre Oliveira<\/p>\nWe can’t fight with human weapons<\/h2>\n
Why the Father exalted Jesus and gave him a name above every name?<\/h2>\n
