“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

Introduction

An ambassador does not live in fear because he knows he is fully backed by his government. The same is true for us. As Christ’s ambassadors, we have divine authority and protection.

Authority to Represent

Jesus told His disciples in Matthew 28:18-19, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples.” We are not weak or powerless—we walk in divine authority.

Protection from the Kingdom

A nation will go to war to defend its ambassadors. Similarly, God assures us of His protection. Psalm 91:11 declares, “For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.”

Summary:
An ambassador is never afraid in a foreign land because they know their government will defend them. As Christ’s ambassadors, we walk in divine authority and protection, fully backed by the King of Kings.

Key Points:

• Authority in Christ – Jesus gave us authority to advance the Kingdom and resist the enemy (Luke 10:19).
• Heaven’s Protection – Just as nations defend their ambassadors, God ensures our safety in His will (Psalm 91:11).
• Confidence in Our Calling – We should live boldly, knowing Heaven stands behind us (Matthew 28:18-19).
