3.3.3 屬靈權柄3
Speaker: Ming
How do people lose their authority?
When people become corrupt, authority is surrendered; this is a spiritual law.
Therefore, before we were born, God had already bestowed authority upon us. After birth, the more sinful we become, the more authority we give away. If a person cannot live as a child of God, that person will lose authority and identity, and thus become corrupted.
How do you exercise your spiritual authority in daily life?
One of the prerequisites for obtaining spiritual authority is to submit to God's authority.
Obedience includes two levels.
Firstly, the circumstances that God has measured for us.
The second is the authority God has chosen to place above us.
In many cases, it is easy for us to obey God. When we hear God's words, we say, I can obey you “because I have heard what you said.” However, many of us often feel that we are unable to obey the authority that God has placed over us in our lives. Especially to the ungodly leaders, or people who do not know God. We call those types of leaders “unholy or ungodly authority”
Such obedience is rather difficult for our brothers and sisters. In our last class, we mentioned an example of a businessman and a husband invested the family's money in his business. His wife felt that such an investment would fail.
