The early days of Jesus’ public ministry move to center stage: His announcement of the Kingdom, His rejection in Nazareth, the calling of His first disciples, His confrontations with the demonic, and the explosion of healings that follow Him everywhere. This session highlights the authority Jesus carries, the tension it creates, and the growing recognition that Israel’s long-awaited Messiah may finally have arrived.

The strength of the believer begins with a clear vision of Christ. This teaching lifts the veil on Jesus’ unmatched supremacy over creation, the spiritual realm, and every power of darkness. Far from a struggle between equal forces, spiritual warfare is rooted in the victory, authority, and preeminence of Christ, who holds all things together and rules as the exalted King. As believers grasp the greatness of Jesus, confidence rises and fear loses its hold.

Spiritual battles are fought safely and effectively when believers understand the boundaries God has assigned to them. This message explores the biblical idea of “sphere of authority,” showing how stepping beyond God-given influence can open the door to harm, while walking within His assignment brings protection, clarity, and power. Through Scripture and practical examples, Allan urges believers to discern where God has positioned them and to operate with humility, obedience, and spiritual attentiveness.

Temptation often begins with something small, but sin creates openings the enemy is quick to exploit. Through vivid illustrations and Scripture, this message shows how disobedience gives Satan footholds, while repentance and obedience close the door. Jesus’ sinlessness becomes the model and the foundation for understanding spiritual “legal rights,” helping believers see both the seriousness of compromise and the freedom found in walking closely with Him.

The demonic realm becomes less frightening and more understandable when viewed through Scripture rather than Hollywood. Allan explains what demons are, how they operate, and how Jesus confronted them with calm authority. He warns against both extremes—ignoring spiritual realities or obsessing over them—and emphasizes discernment, maturity, and confidence in Christ’s victory. Believers are reminded that deliverance rests not in human strength but in the authority of Jesus, the stronger One.
