Bible Study: Spiritual Facts of Every Believer’s Identity and Authority in Christ

When a believer in Jesus Christ understands their true identity they will discover their true “spiritual position” in the Lord who has already defeated Satan (Colossians 2:15).

The book of Provbers teaches us to get wisdom and “understanding” (Proverbs 4:5). The Lord wants every believer to understand their true spiritual identity in Christ Jesus who alone holds all power and authorty (John 5:26-27) and (Ephesians 1:21).

1. You Are a New Creation in Christ

When one is born-again they become a new creation in Christ Jesus! The moment they were born again our “spiritual position” and “spiritual identity” changed and now you belong to the Lord and are seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus! (1 Corinthians 6:20) and (Ephesians 2:6).

Understanding your spiritual position in Christ is crucial to every believer in order to overcoming the enemy which is Satan and his demons who are wreaking havoc in many people’s lives. Many today are experiencing their Christian life on a spiritual roller coaster because they lack understanding of who they really are in Christ Jesus. The devil knows who really has their spiritual identity in tact, demons know that a believer who does not know their identity will never exercise their God given authority over Satan as we clearly see in scripture where a demon identified if the person truly understands their spiritual authority and identity Acts 19:15 when seven men attempted to war against demons and lost the fight.

When a believer lacks understanding of their true identity, they will never be able to overcome the enemy until they know who they are in Christ, this is why the devil continually buffets them to keep them fighting demons from a soul-ish realm instead of resisting and defeating the enemy by the authority God has given them to make the devil and his demons flee and bow at the feet of Jesus.

The first spiritual fact is that the believer is no longer who they once were. In Christ, you have been made a new creation in Christ Jesus, and given a new spiritual position and authority by the Lord Jesus Christ. Not understanding your true identity in Jesus will keep you fighting with human reasoning and will cause you to wonder why nothing is changing in your life and your loved ones. When you learn to defeat the devil from your heavenly spiritual position, your prayer life changes from begging God to do something to help you to taking your spiritual authority over the entire kingdom of darkness. This indeed pleases the Lord as you defeat Satan in all areas of your life!

  • 2 Corinthians 5:17 – “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
  • Ephesians 4:24 – “And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”
  • Matthew 10:1 – “And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.”
  • James 4:7 – “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

Fact: You are no longer under Satan’s dominion but a citizen of God’s Kingdom. You can take the word of God and declare it boldly against the wiles of the devil and watch the devil flee from your life! (Ephesians 6:17) and (Ephesians 6:11)


2. You Are Delivered From Satan’s Power

Every believer has already been rescued from Satan’s kingdom of darkness. Satan wants you and I to think that we need to fight him, but in reality Jesus goes before you in battle to speak the word of God as it is written to defeat the devil and his demons. (Deuteronomy 1:30 and Deuteronomy 20:4 and Deuteronomy 31:8). – The WAR HAS BEEN WON BY JESUS CHRIST THE LORD!

When the Lord leads us into battle against the wiles of the devil, we simply apply the written word and speak the word of God by faith against Satan and he must flee from us.

  • Colossians 1:13 – “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.”
  • John 8:36 – “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.”

Fact: Satan has no legal hold on the believer; his authority over you is broken. If you are struggling in any area in life, God expects you to start taking authority over any demonic attack you may experience. These attacks are coming from Satan to try to weaken your faith and to get you to question your spiritual identity in Christ Jesus.

If Satan succeeds in getting you to question and doubt the word of God concerning our spiritual position in Christ, and if the devil gets you to question and doubt your spiritual position you will be fighting the devil and his demons from a soul-ish realm instead of by the authority and power of the Holy Spirit that God has given every believer – (Mark 16:17).

Many today are wanting God to resist the devil for them, they are waiting for God to do something to change or stop all of Satan’s oppression’s in life, but James 4:7 tells us that we are to resist the devil and he will flee. God is waiting on you to believe and act on His word.

In scripture God tells us that “the devil” is seeking who he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). If you are aware of this, and are not waiting for God to act on your behalf but are resisting the devil as we are told to do in scripture (James 4:7), then Satan must flee from you.

When you resist the devil you don’t become exempt of Satan’s attacks, you just overcome them through your obedience to the word of God. You take a “STAND” against the devil and all of his demons and they must flee from you (Ephesians 6:13).


3. You Are Seated With Christ in Heavenly Places

Your position in Christ is one of victory, not defeat. You share in His triumph.

The Lord is expecting you and I to overcome Satan through Jesus Christ (Romans 8:37-39). You and I are no match for Satan, only in Jesus Christ is the devil already defeated. We must understand our spiritual position in order to overcome.

God has seated us in heavenly places far above Satan, so when we war against the enemy, we are not fighting from an earthly soul-ish realm, we are warring against the enemy with authority and power of Jesus.

  • Ephesians 2:6 – “And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”
  • Ephesians 1:21 – “Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.”

Fact: You reign with Christ above Satan and his forces.


4. You Are More Than a Conqueror

Victory is your inheritance in Christ. You already have the victory to walk in the abundant life that Jesus has given you! John 10:10 – You are not trying to walk in victory, you already have the victory because of what Jesus did for all who have received Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

Jesus sees you as more then a conqueror over anything the devil tries against you.

  • Romans 8:37 – “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerorsthrough him that loved us.”
  • 1 Corinthians 15:57 – “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Fact: You don’t fight for victory; you fight from a place of victory.


5. You Have Authority Over Satan and Demons

Jesus gave believers authority to use His name to cast out devils and destroy the works of darkness.

  • Luke 10:19 – “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”
  • Mark 16:17 – “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils…”

Fact: You can resist Satan, and he must flee.

  • James 4:7 – “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

6. You Have the Greater One Living in You

The Holy Spirit empowers and strengthens the believer to overcome.

  • 1 John 4:4 – “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.”
  • Romans 8:11 – “But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies…”

Fact: The power inside you is greater than any demonic power outside you.


7. You Are Clothed With God’s Armor

Victory requires walking in the armor God has provided.

  • Ephesians 6:11 – “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”
  • Ephesians 6:13 – “Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”

Fact: Your defense and weaponry in Christ ensure victory over every spiritual attack.


8. You Are a Child of God With Full Rights

Your identity gives you divine rights and inheritance.

  • John 1:12 – “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.”
  • Romans 8:17 – “And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ…”

Fact: You are not a slave of fear, but a son/daughter of the King.


Practical Application – Walking in Authority

  1. Know Your Position – Never see yourself as weak or defeated.
  2. Speak the Word – Use Scripture against the lies of Satan like Jesus did (Matthew 4:4,7,10).
  3. Use the Name of Jesus – Stand boldly on the authority of Christ.
  4. Live Submitted to God – Authority flows from obedience and holiness.
  5. Stand in Faith – Believe that Satan is already defeated and enforce Christ’s victory daily.

Conclusion

The believer’s authority is not about personal strength but about identity in Christ. Jesus’ finished work ensures Satan is already a defeated foe. When you walk in these spiritual facts—new creation, delivered, seated with Christ, more than a conqueror, having authority, indwelt by the Spirit, clothed in God’s armor, and a child of God—you live from a place of triumph and enforce Christ’s victory in your life. Start exercising your authority over anything that the devil brings against you and you will see that the outcome is victory in Christ Jesus the LORD!


Exodus 15:3 God warring against the devil and you and I are the Lord’s foot soldiers so fight the good fight because the victory is already yours(! 1 Timothy 6:12).

God has equipped you, (Philippians 2:13 and 2 Timothy 3:17) give your armor (Ephesians 6:10-17), and spiritual weapons (2 Corinthians 10:4) to completely defeat the enemy.

Blessings, I hope this Bible study blog has helpped you today!
