One who has not Met Authority often aspires to be God’s counselor.
Such a person does not have his thoughts Recaptured by God.
Wherever he goes, his first thought is how to improve the situation there.
His thoughts have never been Disciplined, hence his reasonings are so many and so unceasing.
There must come a day when God’s Authority Overthrows All the strongholds of reasoning which Satan has erected and Recaptures All man’s thoughts so as to make him a Willing Slave of God.
To rebel is to choose the way of poverty.
To resist authority is to reject the means to grace and richness.
We often misunderstand authority as something which oppresses us, hurts us, and troubles us.
God does not have such a concept.
He uses authority to replenish our lack.
Authority, according to the Bible, is characterized by a unique nature: there is no authority except from God.
He who resists authority resists God, and those who resist will incur judgment.
There is no possibility of rebellion without judgment.
The consequence of resisting authority is death.
Man has no choice in the matter of authority.
We must be Subject to Delegated Authority as well as to God’s Direct Authority, for there is no Authority Except from God.
As the Son He Willingly Submits to the Father’s Authority and Declares that the Father is Greater than I.
Thus there is Perfect Harmony in the Godhead.
Gladly the Father takes the Place of the Head, and the Son Responds with Obedience.
God becomes the Emblem of Authority, while Christ assumes the symbol of Obedience.
