Authority
All Authority Comes From God!
There is no authority except from God.
Those that exist are set up by God.

Our old man HAS BEEN Crucified With Him.
Our old man was ONCE and FOREVER Crucified With Him.
An Accomplished Fact!
Why, then, should we doubt.
Nothing!
If I am something than God is not everything, but when I become nothing, God can become all; the Everlasting God in Christ can Reveal Himself Fully.
MATTHEW 6.9-13
therefore pray thus: Our Father who [is] in the heavens, hallowed be Your Name. Your kingdom come, Your will come to pass, as in Heaven also on the earth. Give us today our appointed bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors. And may You not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil [one], because Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory—for all ages. Amen.

COLOSSIANS 3.3-4
for you died, and your life has been hid with the Christ in God; when the Christ—our life—may have appeared, then we will also appear with Him in glory.

ROMANS 8.30
and whom He foreordained, these also He called; and whom He called, these also He declared righteous; and whom He declared righteous, these also He glorified.

MATTHEW 18.18-20
Truly I say to you, whatever things you may bind on the earth will be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever things you may loose on the earth will be having been loosed in the heavens. Again, I say to you that if two of you may agree on the earth concerning anything, whatever they may ask—it will be done to them from My Father who is in the heavens, for where there are two or three gathered together—to My Name, there am I in the midst of them.”

JOHN 15.5
I AM the vine, you the branches; he who is remaining in Me, and I in him, this one bears much fruit, because apart from Me you are not able to do anything;

1 CORINTHIANS 12.3
for this reason, I give you to understand that no one, speaking in the Spirit of God, says Jesus [is] accursed, and no one is able to say Jesus [is] LORD, except in the Holy Spirit.
Hourly, Daily, Unceasingly, the Living Connection Maintained.
From moment to moment the Sap Flows from the Vine to the Branches.
Your Lord Jesus Wants you morning by morning and day by day and hour by hour and step by step to Abide Before Him in the Simple Utter Helplessness of one who Knows Nothing and is Nothing and Can Do Nothing.
It is Essential that we Learn to be Subject to one another and Subject to Delegated Authorities.
Prayerlessness, though, does effect a change, because God will let many of His Resolutions go suspended due to the lack from His People of Prayerful Cooperation with Him.
Man’s attitude of independence always leads him tp prefer a god of his own making.
He likes to worship what he can see and manipulate.
It is much harder to Submit to the Authority of his Faithful, Unseen Creator.
