Under Who's Authority Are You?
Jul 14, 2025 • Fr Elijah Estafanous
Too many of us walk through life defeated, anxious, or spiritually passive even though Jesus has already handed us power “to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy.” In this Feast of the Apostles homily, Fr. Elijah dives deep into the day’s readings to show:
• Why “authority” echoes through every verse in Luke 9-10—and what it means for your daily battles.
• How demons are “subject to us in the exact degree we are subject to Christ,” and what surrender really looks like.
• Three silent thieves of authority tolerated sin, unchecked emotions, and the lie that “I’m too broken to be used.”
• A battle plan for flipping fear, anxiety, and division on their head so your home becomes Christ’s territory again.
If you’re tired of coasting, numbing out on your phone, or watching the enemy stake claims in your heart and household, this message will equip you to reclaim your baptismal birthright and live the mission God already placed in your hands.
