We are not to rule in the world through fleshly violence, we rule the world through ?the authority of His Christ? by the Holy Spirit. That is, we walk and live in the finish work of Jesus and rule in Him because His Spirit is in us! There is an authority of ?His Christ? that we as believer must ?put on? in order to walk in ?the authority of His Christ.? We do not have to be weaklings and crouch to the elements of the world. We are sons of God now, through faith in Christ Jesus, through water baptism and through the baptism of the Holy Spirit. According to the Scriptures Jesus has redeemed us from the slavery of the elements of the world and ?placed us as sons? into being ?masters of all? principalities and powers in the heavenly realms.
