We have the authority of Jesus while He is away. We can do His work using His name. This includes forgiveness of sins, casting our demons, healing sickness and disease as well as baptisms with His HolySpirit. We do not have the power, we simply have the authority that He has commissioned to us. He does the work by His HolySpirit.

We are His body, His mouth, His hands and His feet, therefore we are His presence on the earth. This privilege is not just for the clergy but for all His disciples.
