Authority
WE have been given all authority in heaven and on the earth, we must first look at what this really means. It does not allow us to be slothful in our thinking or actions , If we are truly Going to walk in authority we must first realize that our best intensions can only show that we are in need of constant correction . Correction can bring about truth that allows us see Ourselves and to see others as Christ himself sees us . It should not be that we fall prey to everything that our flesh and soul dictates, the Holy Spirit leads and guides and gives us the Proper authority if we acknowledge the fact that left to our own carnal thinking and fleshly desires that they take away the Fullness of His Presence .
Without the proper structure and understanding of that structure , our best attempts to comply only frustrates the process. Jesus Said in Matt: 28 -18 “God authorized and commanded me to commission you: Authority is Given Freely to those who submit themselves to one another in relationship and fellowship to release power to build up and undergird one another in true Authority. It is not Lording over or manipulating someone to come under our umbrella to place them under our Authority. It is mutual respect for one another’s gifting and anointing and that gives us his authority , which opens the opportunity to submit one to another in true authority.
Matt: 7 -29 It was apparent that he was living everything he was saying—quite a contrast to their religious teachers! This was the best teaching they had ever heard. The real question is do we really live what we speak ,or do we live by his word or do we live by our mind will and emotions. Authority does not come from our flesh it comes by being led by his Holy Spirit , True and lasting authority comes from an inner strength of knowing who we are in him. So that our mind will and emotions line up with the word , Eph: 4 -14 no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, Rom: 12 – 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Authority produces itself in agreement and Unity thru working together , Real authority is Christ the head who brings all things into alignment . If we align ourselves with true authority he leads and guides us into all truth , if he is the potter and we are the clay we must allow ourselves to be remade , refired , and shaped and molded by Him. He is the center of all things , Luke 5: 24 “so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” Our Common Goal Should be to Continue in a State of Repentance. Therefore yielding one to another out of love , so that common ground can be established to help each other grow into His Image and His Likeness.
Jude 25: The only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. WE have Dominion Over all Creation , He has established his Church and Given them the Keys to unlock eternity to open the windows of Heaven , to allow us the authority to establish his kingdom here on earth. Rev: 2 -26 ‘He who overcomes, and he who keeps My deeds until the end, TO HIM I WILL GIVE AUTHORITY OVER THE NATIONS, This Should be our Common Goal to Bring Forth a True Apostolic and Prophetic Body Of Believers, who have decided to Work Together to reach for Common Ground in spite of their differences, there doctrinal backgrounds , or whatever causes them to stay in disunity . So that Gods Glory can Fully be revealed , walking in unity , Walking in Love , so as we come together His Authority Will Revealed in Us.
