In this sermon excerpt Blake Robert Templeton explains that every believer possesses Christ‑granted spiritual authority, citing Luke 10:19 (“I have given you authority to trample serpents and scorpions”). He contrasts a man who lives under that authority with one who is “sedated, neutered, numb” – a double‑minded slave to the enemy. Templeton argues that true authority works in the unseen realm first; when a wise son of God speaks truth, the spiritual atmosphere rearranges, and the resulting heavenly legislation then manifests in earthly circumstances such as business, marriage, and family. He warns that many men, despite outward success, remain bound to the enemy’s “umbilical cord,” praying linearly for problems while remaining double‑minded. Citing James 1, he says a double‑minded person cannot receive from the Lord. When a believer awakens to his spiritual authority, darkness loses territory, and the enemy spends decades trying to keep men distracted to prevent this shift.

Chapters

He understands his authority in Christ. Luke 10:19 says, I've given you authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, not negotiate with them, trample them. And that is a polarizing difference from a man who is sedated, neutered, numb under the actual power of the slave lord. When a son of wisdom speaks truth, the unseen realm rearranges and everything happens first in the unseen, not the seen. So when a man is a slave, having massive business success, drowning in his family, of his marriage, of his kids, when he's in this dichotomy, he literally has missed the entire point. So he begins to pray to heaven, help, my child's going through this problem, this is happening with my wife, and he lays it out linearly while he's still connected to the umbilical cord of the enemy. So unknowingly, he's running a double-minded life. And God says in James 1 that man should not think he'll receive anything from the Lord. He's a double-minded man, unstable in all he does. A son of wisdom, he rearranges what's happening in the unseen because darkness is trying to invade, and he dismantles that. And then that which preceded earth, that legislation in the heavenly realm, now takes ownership of these circumstances of earth. So that's why the enemy spends decades trying to keep men distracted, because once a man awakens his spiritual authority 3. Darkness begins losing territory.
