Authority in the Spirit Realm: Why Your Dream Cancellations Might Not Be Working

Any kingdom, organization, company, or group operating effectively and successfully will do so as a
direct result of the delegated authority distributed and exercised by those to whom authority is given within those organizations.

Authority is the power to determine, adjudicate, or settle disputes. It is also defined as the right to control, command, or decide over whatever you've been given authority over.

As it relates to our dreams, our portals into the spirit realm, we must be authorized, or understand our authority, related to rebuking, commanding, or simply understanding what we can and cannot do in the spirit realm. I have counseled and met with many people to discuss their dreams. Some have said, "Minister Ewing, there were certain dreams that I followed your advice on regarding canceling. Nevertheless, weeks or months later, what I thought I canceled in the spirit via my dreams seems to be playing out in my life all over again."

Recognizing Authority in the Spirit Realm

The example above highlights a key topic in today's teaching: recognizing our authority and that of spirits in the spirit realm. Within this realm, spirits hold various ranks. For instance, Daniel 10:10-14 reveals that the prince of Persia was a high-ranking demon, specifically a principality, that spiritually governed the earthly kingdom of Persia. This principality hindered the messenger angel Gabriel from proceeding to earth to deliver Daniel's message. This demonic prince was so formidable that he delayed Gabriel for twenty-one days. Scripture then shows that Michael, one of God's chief princes, intervened and opposed the prince of Persia from Satan's realm.

This passage offers a glimpse into ongoing activity in the spirit realm that we remain unaware of unless God reveals it to us in our dreams or visions. If a messenger angel sent from God to deliver a message to a human being could be delayed by a high-ranking demon in the spirit realm, what would happen to human beings who enter the spirit realm through their dreams with zero authority there?

Authority Comes Only Through Jesus Christ

The reality is that only Jesus Christ can give us authority over spiritual matters, especially when it comes to subduing and resisting the evil and opposing spirits that challenge us from the spirit realm. To receive Jesus' authority to challenge these evil spirits, we must first believe that Jesus Christ exists and accept Him into our lives as our Lord and Savior. Amazingly, when this occurs, we are immediately given power over spiritual entities opposing us, such as evil spirits and demons. Scripture gives us the proof:

"The seventy-two returned with joy and said, 'Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.'" (Luke 10:17)

"I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you." (Luke 10:19)

As you can see, the seventy-two disciples, who believed and accepted that Jesus was the Christ, could legally use the name of Jesus Christ to challenge, defeat, and ultimately make demons submit. Jesus explains in Luke 10:19 why they could exercise such power: He had given them authority to trample or subdue snakes and scorpions.

Before I go further, I want to clarify the terms "snakes" and "scorpions." These are symbols of evil spirits. More importantly, their behavior and characteristics in the spirit world mirror those of the same creatures in the natural world. Joel 2:25 gives another example:

"And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you." (Joel 2:25)

Again, the insects in this text were not eating away at humans. Instead, the insects personify evil spirits that attack and devour spiritual blessings. Do you really believe Jesus was giving His disciples power and authority to subdue animals? Or were the insects in Joel 2:25 really eating away at the lives of those described in the text? Nevertheless, you are a sitting duck in the spirit realm if you are not a member of the body of Christ, because the authority and power to fight effectively there can only come from accepting Jesus Christ.

What Happens Without Authorization

The Bible provides a clear example of the consequences of attempting to use unauthorized power against evil spirits in Acts 19. It is recorded that the sons of Sceva tried to use authority that was never given to them by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

"Then some Jews who went around trying to drive out demons attempted to use the name of the Lord Jesus on those who had evil spirits, saying, 'I command you by that Jesus whom Paul preaches.' And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew and chief of the priests, who did this. The evil spirit answered them, 'I know Jesus, and I recognize Paul, but who are you?' And the man in whom was the evil spirit leaped on them and subdued all of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded." (Acts 19:13-16)

So, are you, or have you been, authorized to use the name and power of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, against the evil spirits challenging you spiritually or even physically? If your answer is no, this would explain why your rebuking and canceling of bad dreams doesn't seem to work, or why the attacks stop for a season and then return. In that case, it was probably the grace of God at work for you as a non-believer, or the generational blessings from ancestors committed to Jesus Christ.

Take This Opportunity

Why not take this opportunity to ask Jesus Christ to take up residence in your heart? Tell Him you're tired of living a defeated, shallow, and hopeless life that has left you completely exposed to the wiles of the devil. Once you have made this life-changing move, at that very moment you will be given the power to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you, according to the promise Jesus made in Luke 10:19.

If these teachings are building you spiritually and advancing your thinking with revelation, please share them with others so they can be liberated.

“The law of let”

Let him go, let her stay, let them travel, these are only but a few phrases where the word “let” is used so frequently in our everyday communications. Very few, if anyone ever gives serious thought as to the understanding and implication of this seemingly insignificant word, that we are about to discover has so much hidden authority and power.

My aim today is to unveil the mystery of the word let. The unveiling of this mystery will simultaneously demonstrate for us the “Law of let”. Which will in turn provoke us to become more conscious as to what it is that we are letting in and out of the worlds that we live in.   

Firstly, there are two worlds that exist that mankind are aware of. These two worlds are easily distinguished mainly in the religious sectors of our societies, and they are the natural world that we presently live in and there is the invisible world, that is usually called the spiritual world, suggesting a world that we cannot see with our physical eyes. However very much as real as this present world, and as a matter of fact it is the parent world to this physical world that we live in. The truth is everything in this world that we live in got its beginnings or origin from the invisible or spiritual world. The question that we are about to exhaust is, how do things that are invisible or spiritual find its way in this natural physical world that we live in? Also can we as humans at will bring things out of that world into our natural world?

The Apostle Paul gave us a heads up to this mystery when he said, “While we look not at the things that are seen, but at the things that are not seen (spiritual/invisible): for the things which are seen (physical) are temporal but the things which are not seen are eternal. In simple terms Paul is saying that the things which we can relate to with our five senses in this natural world are fading or vanishing right before our eyes, in fact they speak to a higher order. They are only small manifestations of what we cannot see. Instead he said, fix or focus on what we don’t see, again, meaning that which is spiritual. So how do you set your eyes on what you don’t see? Well, you focus on what is being displayed in the person or thing, and one is now able to  identified the spirit in operation. This implies that the one you're fighting with is not the origin of your problem.  For example, a child that is rebellious, the physical child is only displaying what the spirit of rebellion is acting out in the child. So unless you address the spirit via prayer of course, you will forever be attempting to correct the child physically with little to no results.

Now how did this spirit get into this physical child? Very good question, because now we are about to be introduced to the law of let. In the book of Genesis chapter 1, the entire chapter is littered with two main phrases and they are, “Let there be” and “God saw. Let’s zoom in with a microscope to view the details as to the hidden mystery that is happening here. In Genesis 1:3 it reads, “And God said let there be light, and there was light. Now the word let is defined as: allowing or giving permission or authority to pass or be transferred from one region, area, place or world to another. Secondly, whatever it is that is being moved or transferred MUST BE IN EXISTANCE ALREADY!

So, in essence light existed already but through the law of let, God allowed or gave permission for light which existed already to be passed on to our physical world. Now, the million dollar question is where was light being transferred or passed from? Again, I am happy that you’ve asked. We can all agree that God is a spirit according to John 4:24, so if he is a spirit and he is the creator of all things then everything must have its origin from a spirit or spiritual beginning and as a reminder there are only two worlds.

So when God said let there be light, of course light already existed, he was allowing or giving light permission to move from the spirit world and enter this physical world where we now live, wow! But how did he do it? He did it with his words. Through his words he gave the authority or permission for the transfer of something from one world to the next.

Genesis 1:26 says, God created us in his likeness and image, again God is a spirit so he does not have a flesh body like we do. So to be created in his likeness, it would suggest we are created spirit beings like himself also accompanied with the power to let things in from one world to the next…… my God!

My question to you my beloved readers, what have you been “letting” via the law of let to enter your world knowing or unknowingly? As you would recall God did all of the letting with his words. We have that same power as Christian or sinner, the law that governs this act is found in proverbs 18:21, and it reads, “There is death and life in the power of the tongue and they that love it (death or life) shall eat the fruits (a fruit is the end result of a seed) that it produce. Jesus said, “By your words you will be condemn and by your words you’ll be justified.

In Genesis 1:2 it reads, the spirit of the lord moved upon the face of the deep, as he spoke his spirit put into action whatever he said. You are doing the exact same thing when you speak; the Angelic forces of the lord are awaiting the word of God from your lips to c ausethe spiritual things of God to  be released in your world Psalms 103:20. You have them already they just need to be released. Ephesians 1:3 reads, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who had (past tense) blessed us with all spiritual (invisible) blessing in heavenly (spiritual world) places.

On the other hand Satan’s demonic kingdom, with the spiritual or invisible ranking of principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in high places, are consistently tempting each and every one of us only in an effort to let them in our world, via the law of let. They are tirelessly looking for an opening in our lives. These openings come about when we disobey or violate the laws of God. For example when we lie, commit adultery, or even worst when we speak things that are negative like, “Every time you make one step forward you have to take two backward”, “I only work to pay bills”, “This man or woman aren’t no good”, “These children will send me straight to hell”. It is these words where the law of let is in full operation.

My words of wisdom for this day are: “He that keeps or guards his mouth simultaneously keeps or guards his life from trouble. The sum total of your life is as a result of what you have allowed to pass from the spirit world to your natural world via the law of let.

Heavenly father, help us not to focus on what we see physically, but to be focus on what we do not see which is spiritual. Give us the discerning power to not only decipher and identify the spirit or spirits that are operating in that person place or thing but to bind it and cast it out in the name of your son Jesus Christ. Amen!
