During His earthly ministry, Jesus gave His followers the same authority that He had, and charged them with the responsibility to use it correctly. This authority covered everything in the earthly realm, and when He was resurrected, it was expanded to include everything in heaven as well as under the earth. This power has not diminished one bit over time, and God has now made it available to everyone on earth. Most people are unaware of this, but it does not change the fact that we are responsible for enforcing God۪s spiritual laws.
