Creflo Dollar's teaching on the authority of the believer, rooted in the Word of Faith movement, asserts that born-again Christians have been granted supernatural power by God through Jesus. According to this teaching, believers can exercise this authority to achieve spiritual and material outcomes, including healing, prosperity, and victory over evil. 

Core components of the teaching
Delegated authority: God has intrinsic authority, but He has delegated a portion of it to believers. This authority is not earned but is a gift received through grace.

Activation through faith and speech: Believers activate this delegated power by speaking faith-filled words, or "positive confessions," over their circumstances. Dollar teaches that believers should "speak to their mountains," rather than asking God to move them.

Spiritual responsibility: Believers are commanded to act on the authority they have been given and not to passively wait for God to intervene. Dollar draws a comparison to a homeowner flipping a light switch, noting that you don't ask the power company to do it for you.

Position in Christ: This authority stems from a believer's new identity in Jesus Christ, who is seated in heavenly places with all authority. Since believers are "seated with Him," they share in this exalted position of authority.

Victory over the enemy: The authority gives believers power to stand against Satan, sickness, disease, and financial obstacles. The teaching emphasizes that Christians should not be defeated by worldly problems because they have the power to win in life.
