Flow under authority
Dr. Roberto Miranda(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY:
The passage in Luke 7:1-10 discusses the story of a centurion who understands authority and how it works. He is a man under authority, but also has soldiers under his orders, and he knows how to handle authority. The physical world and the spiritual world also move under concepts of authority, and God has given us authority over illnesses, demons, and obstacles in life through the name of Jesus Christ. However, it is important to know how to move in that authority and earn respect from others. Army officers are taught to speak and give orders in a certain way to maintain their authority.
The church has lost its understanding of the mysteries of the Holy Spirit, especially regarding authority. Many Christians do not know how to handle the issue of authority and do not understand how the world of the spirit works. Christians must understand the requirements for moving in authority, as they must earn authority and move according to the laws of authority. However, many Christians do not know how to exercise authority and are therefore powerless. A church that moves in authority can tell the world what to do and the world must obey because it has to obey. The church must be a spokesperson for the word of God and not adjust its form to society. The church must live in integrity to have authority and not transact with the devil. Daniel and his friends' refusal to eat the food dedicated to idols in Babylon is an example of living in integrity and standing by spiritual principles of authority.
The sermon discusses the importance of authority in our lives, both spiritual and human, and how submitting to authority can bring blessings. The story of the centurion in the Bible is used as an example of someone who understood the laws of authority and was successful in his purpose of healing his servant. The sermon also emphasizes the importance of respecting the laws of matter, such as taking care of our bodies through healthy eating and exercise. The speaker encourages listeners to examine themselves and see if they are submitting to authority in their lives, and align themselves with authority for blessings to flow. The sermon concludes with a prayer for God's blessing on the listeners.I want to conclude the teaching that we are developing concerning the subject of authority. Spiritual authority, human authority, even physical authority as well, because we have said that authority is the same, both in the physical world and in the spiritual world, as well as in the human world, in the world of society.
I want us to start with a passage, there are other passages that I want to discuss with you this morning and I advise those of you who can, look for these sermons on the Internet, see them, or buy them here in the church bookstore when they are available, because I know that we can benefit from meditating on these concepts that are quite deep and that are of benefit the more we listen to them, not because I preach them but because they are the word of God that I feel that God is bringing in a prophetic way to his people at this time.
