Understanding Power Vs Authority

Exercising Spiritual Authority as a Christian
For those of you who don't believe in the power of the word of God, you will view this article as a joke. But what if I told you that God's power was infinitely stronger than any machine gun, atomic bomb, knife, or musclebound attacker? What if I told you God's protection over you as a Christian will stop bullets at point blank range, stop knife attacks, stop demonic attacks, and nothing will hurt you, as long as you lean on the full strength of his word, and put on the full armor of God?
Real World Examples
I have real life examples of living as a Christian and taking hold of the authority we have as Christians (given to us by Jesus in Luke 10:19), and overcoming the evil one. Notice you will not need to go out and buy a gun, or work out at the gym, or carry a stun gun to achieve this. You simply must lean on the true word of God. My first example is Margy, who was abducted by a serial killer. The man put a gun to her and commanded her to drive. Why was she NOT afraid of this attacker, or afraid of losing her life? God showed her a scroll with Luke 10:19 on it, and gave her confidence, and she also heard Mark 16:17, and she overcome this encounter. She had the confidence to lay hands on this serial killer, drive the demons out of him (despite him having a loaded gun pointed at her), and in the end - she ended up leading him to Jesus.
Example 1: Margy

Example 2: Terry
The next example I have is Terry Mize, who was shot repeatedly by a hitchhiker, but the bullets did not hit Terry at point blank range, because Terry used the scripture of God against the hitchhiker. The hitchhiker thought he would scare Terry by being demanding with a gun, but Terry said "Fear I rebuke you in the name of Jesus", "Im a man of God, and I have authority over you in the name of Jesus, and You cant kill me". He exercised his authority as a Christian. When those bullets came out, they went into the ground.
