spiritual authority

SUMMARY: The Bible teaches about the principle of spiritual authority, which is delegated by God and reflected in the character of the leader. Authority and power are different concepts, with authority being a legal right to exercise power that is granted. All authority is from God, and those who have authority must be under authority themselves. Authority is for edification and not for destruction. Understanding the principle of authority is key to living a free life and maintaining unity in the body of Christ. Obedience is the key to success, and the sin of rebellion is equated with witchcraft in the Bible.
The fifth principle of authority is for edification and not for destruction. Authority comes to build your life and does not come to destroy your life. The sixth principle is that without submission there will be no edification. The seventh principle is that God does not want to govern anyone who does not want to be governed.
The nature of spiritual authority is closely tied to character, and the delegated authority must understand that all authority comes from God. They must also deny themselves, be kept in constant fellowship with the Lord and be under an authority themselves.
Signs that identify a person who understands and lives under authority include seeking where to find the authority and identifying it, being meek and tender, and being willing to change. It is important to avoid speaking ill of leaders and to respect individuality and difference of people. Ultimately, obedience transcends what we do, and being filled with the Holy Spirit means being filled with obedience.
Having an encounter with the authority of God makes a person meek and gentle, willing to change and not seek power or domination. They are also sensitive to acts of rebellion and lawlessness. Conflicts of authority can be resolved by recognizing under whose authority one is living, either God or the devil. It is necessary to obey constituted authority unless it violates divine principles. Failure to submit to authority is sinning against God's authority. The power to change oneself and submit to authority lies within oneself, not the authority figure. The sermon ends with a prayer for understanding and submission to God's principles.

Today we are going to study the Bible and we are going to study the topic of spiritual authority. And we are going to see what the Lord says and what the Bible says about spiritual authority and for that we are going to read some verses, I will not have time to read all the verses but they are going to put some verses on the screen and we are going to see some verses about the study of spiritual authority. Glory to God.
We will begin with Romans, chapter 13, from 1 to 7. Then we are going to read Luke, chapter 10, 17 to 19, and Luke chapter 9, verse 1. We will begin with Romans chapter 13 from 1 to 7, and the word of God we read in name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Thus says the word of the Lord, it is not my word, it is the word of the Lord.
