Flow under authority

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.

Well, in the Gospel according to Saint Luke, in Chapter 7, verses 1 to 10, the word of the Lord says, speaking of a centurion:

“...after he had finished all his words to the people who He heard him enter Capernaum talking about Jesus, and a centurion's servant, whom he loved very much, was sick and about to die. When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders begging him to come and heal his servant...."

This centurion intercedes on behalf of one of his servants, something that is rare for a man of so much power he is interested so deeply that a mere servant of his is healed, because at the time this occurs, that type of intercession or interest was not typical.

“... and they came to Jesus and begged him earnestly saying, it is worthy that you grant him this because he loves our nation and he built us a synagogue. And Jesus went with them, but when they were no longer far from the house, the centurion sent some friends to him, saying, Lord, do not bother, for I am not worthy of you coming under my roof..."

This The man realized that the Lord had heard his request and perhaps someone went to tell him and they told him the news that the Lord was going to his house to heal his servant. But the centurion tells him:

“...don't bother, I'm not worthy of you coming under my roof, so I didn't even consider myself worthy of coming to you, but say the word and my servant will be healed ...”

He simply tells her, look, you don't have to come and be physically here in my house, I believe, that your word is enough, just say the word of healing and that is more than enough. And look at this man's reasoning, that is where I want to go: the origin of his reasoning, why he says to the Lord, simply say the word and that is enough, for me, I believe that you can do it. He says,

“.....because I am also a man placed under authority...”

First, he is a man who is under authority, he was a centurion, we could say he was like a captain or a major in the army, and he understood that he was under authority because above him there were colonels, there were generals, even perhaps the Caesar who was far above him, he was under authority.

“... I am a man placed under authority and I have soldiers under my orders...”

First, he knows that he is under authority but he also knows how to handle authority, he knows what authority is, because he has authority above him and he has people below him. He also exercises authority, so he knows how authority works, under him as a captain or major there are lieutenants, there are sergeants, there are corporals, we could say so in terms of rank. I don't know the ranks in the Roman army, but there were people who were under their authority as well.

“... and I have soldiers under my orders and I say to this one, go and go, and to the other, come and come, and to my servant I say, do this and he does it....”

In other words, look at how it sounds to you. When I use authority I say with my mouth to the sergeant, come here, and the sergeant comes right away, and I tell him to the corporal, go there and he obediently goes and does what I tell him. That is the nature of authority. Authority is valid influence for others to do something or for something to obey, be it human, spiritual or material. Everything is the same, it is always the same currency, the currency of the authority that counts. Authority is that, having enough weight, enough influence, enough support so that when one says something to someone, they do something, that something, or that someone obeys, because one has the strength to assert what one is ordering to be done. make.

So he says, “....do this and it does it. Upon hearing this, when the Lord hears this man's reasoning, he says that he marveled at him and turning around he said to the people who followed him, astonished the Lord said, you know what? not even in Israel have I found such faith..."

The Lord marveled that a Roman soldier, not a Jew, did not understand the Bible, had never studied the Old Testament that we know of, had no studies in Hebrew theology, nor nothing, but the Lord marveled at his theological introspection, at the spiritual wisdom this man was displaying through his experience as a soldier, and how he was able to transfer this to the spirit world. And the Lord said, wow, not even in Israel have I found such faith.

And when those who had been sent returned home, they found the servant who had been sick well. I even wonder if the Lord didn't even say, okay, be well, servant of the centurion. It seems that faith, I would think that this man's faith was so great that he activated the power of Christ, simply by believing the Lord Jesus, because he knew how authority works.

And you see why I chose this passage. There are very deep things here that we must understand, because look when I began to preach these sermons, I did not understand everything that I understand now. The Lord has spoken to me a lot and this morning above all I said, wow, truly now I understand many things.

You say things sometimes and you don't know all the ramifications of what you're saying, but I truly feel that the Lord is speaking to me and speaking to us so that we can truly move in the power that he wants us to move. But notice that I had told you at the beginning, look it up if you want in the sermon before, I think it was, it wasn't even last Sunday, because this is the third Sunday that I speak about authority, that there are different types of authority.

I said that the universe, the physical world, the cosmos, creation, mountains, earth, atoms and molecules, the human biological body, animals, celestial bodies, stars, galaxies, planets, everything moves according to the principle of authority. And I showed you in Psalm 104 how the Lord gave the command and it was. For example, you look in Genesis and the Lord says, let there be light, and what happened? The light came. The sun and the moon arise, they arise. Separate the waters of the earth, they separated. There are fish and animals and birds, all those things came up. What was it that made it possible for all these things to be created? The authority of the mouth of God. The power, the authority that is in God.

And God wrote laws in the universe that are not to be violated. The planets function according to certain eternal laws. Light travels at a certain speed. Human biology works according to specific rules, the seas, the nature of water is unchangeable. There are different ones, in the physical, physiological world, there are laws that God established and that God uttered to the world, because God is the perfect, total authority, so that when God says something, his word is absolutely irresistible. What he says has to be done and has to be fulfilled. If he said, let there be light, light arises, because he said so. That is, only God has that absolute power, that absolute authority so that what he says in any field, physical, spiritual, human, what he says must be obeyed perfectly.

But then we see that the physical world obeys laws and authority that comes from God. and I also said that the spiritual world, the world of demonic and divine spirits, angelic also moves under authority and we saw how there are ranks, there are hierarchies, there are angels, archangels, there are cherubs, there are seraphim, the Son submits to the Father , the Father is above the Son. In the world of demons there are principalities, there are powers, there are different ranks of demons, and different authorities and powers, and the world of the spirit also moves under concepts of authority.

By the way, the case came to mind this morning when the sons of Hesheba, how many have heard of the sons of Hesheba in the Book of Acts? These were two men who saw Paul perform great miracles. They saw that through the Apostles the demons came out of the people. Because? Because the Apostles had authority. Who gave the Apostles authority over demons? The Lord Jesus Christ. They do not remember that in Matthew and in Mark it says that the Lord gave them authority over the demons when he sent them. And when they returned he says, Lord, even the demons are subject to us. They were speechless. The Lord told them, that is nothing, the things that I have are even greater, you will do them.

And before he goes to his father, he said, all authority is given to me in heaven and on earth, therefore go. He gave the disciples authority. So, when these two men saw I don't know how many there were, let's suppose there were two, that through the word of the Apostles the demons were coming out, they said, well, we can also do the same, and then they went to a man with a demon and They told him, in the name of Jesus, the one Paul preaches, we rebuke you and command you to get out of them. And what did the devil answer? He said, well, we know Pedro and we know who Pablo is, but who are you? And he jumped on them and he says they ran out with all their clothes undone because they couldn't resist the force of the devil.

What do we see here? The same idea. The demons said, well, we know that we have to obey the authority of Paul and Peter and the Apostles because the Lord God gave them authority, but you, where are your credentials? Show me your exorcist card, where is it? Since they did not have it, the demons did not obey them.

You see the spirit world is moving as well. How many times do we see in the Bible that God has given us authority. The word exousía, or exousía in Greek means authority. Sometimes that word is translated power, other things, but it is authority. God gives us authority over diseases, gives us power, another word that is also used.

If you look at the Gospel according to Saint Mark, Chapter 16, the Lord says, before leaving “... go into all the world preach the Gospel, whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be doomed, and these signs will follow those who believe. In my name they will cast out demons, they will speak new languages, they will pick up serpents and if they drink a deadly thing it will not hurt them, they will place their hands on the sick and they will recover...”

In whose name? In the name of Jesus. Because? Because Jesus has authority and when I move in the power of the name of Jesus in a legitimate way that authority is transferred to me. So the demons understood that and illnesses God has given us authority, as children of God, over illness, He has given us power over illnesses, He has given us power over demons, He has given us power over the obstacles of life. We have that authority, brothers. We have authority through the name of Jesus Christ.

Now, what's going on is, I'm going to explain something to you. You have to know how to move in that authority. Most Christians don't know how to handle the issue of authority and that's why... look, the fact that you have a badge doesn't necessarily mean that your subjects are going to obey you. In the armies there are many officers whose men do not respect them, or because they are cowards, or because they are undisciplined, or because they do not know how to move like warriors, or because they do not know how to exercise authority and speak and people do not pay attention to them. because you have to earn authority. On the field of war, soldiers will not follow an officer who does not exemplify the authority that he embodies. That is why army officers are taught to speak in a certain way, to give orders in a certain way, to move according to the laws of authority so that their authority is not lowered and the people, their soldiers, lose control of it. I respect.

Just having badges doesn't mean you're going to handle authority properly. The fact that you have authority in itself as a follower of Jesus Christ does not necessarily mean that you will actually have that authority when you face life's problems, when illnesses come, when financial crises come. There are even many people who are living inconsistent lives, so when they want to exercise authority they discover that their authority has gone down another pipe, the air has escaped them, and their conscience accuses them and they know that there are sins in their lives, not confessed, there is no life of prayer, fasting, holiness, seeking the Lord, they do not know the word, so what authority are they going to use, what authority are they going to have, when a demon comes into their lives to harm them, when a terrible illness comes, when a financial crisis comes, they don't know how to move, they haven't studied the laws of authority.

Am I explaining myself right, brothers? Because that is the problem of the church at this time, the church has lost the understanding of the mysteries of the Holy Spirit, we do not know how the world of the spirit works, we do not know how the laws of authority work, we have no experience in that area and therefore that is why we are powerless, that is why there is a powerless church that does not manifest that military, martial walk, that security, that poise when speaking, when testifying, when praying, because that person does not really know who he is, he does not know how to move in authority or there is in his conscience a sense that he knows, she knows, I don't have the tools to move in authority, so when he speaks it comes out more like a weak and effeminate voice, instead of a commanding voice. Do this and you have to obey because I am moving in the authority of Christ Jesus.

You understand what I am referring to, brothers, that is why it is so important that we understand what are the requirements for a Christian to move in authority because he is functioning according to the principles of authority. Let me look for another example, because I want you to understand this very clearly and this example can serve as the pastor here again talking about tithes and offerings. It is not like this. But look when the word... there are principles of authority that say, for me to have authority in the financial world, I have to move in the laws that God has established and if I am not obeying the authority in the spiritual world, I am not I will have authority in the physical world. So if God has said, bring the tithes to the storehouse, if God has said, your finances belong to me, if God has said, seek first the Kingdom of God and his justice and the other things will be added to you. If God has said, he who trusts in me will not be ashamed, if God has said, give me a tenth of your money, sacrifice it to me, consecrate it, bring it to me as a holocaust and I will bless you until there is more than enough. That is spiritual authority.

So I obey that law, I submit myself as the centurion, I know that there is a spiritual law that comes from the mouth of God under which I am, so I submit myself to that law, I obey the Lord, I I give the Lord the tithe, I'm not asking, well the pastor is going to take it and use it for summer vacations, or he's going to do the other thing. No, God said it, I give it in the name of Jesus, I fulfill my part. I complied with authority above me. Guess what? So that means that now I can use that authority to bless my finances, to defend my finances. I can pray with authority so that God blesses and prospers my house, my money, my physical property, bless my foundation, prosper my children, prosper my community, prosper my church because I am a man who lives under authority and I can then exercise authority . But many people come with financial problems and they realize, they never give up, they never get ahead, they are always doing things and the world falls apart and they are always losing and starting over again all the time and pray and nothing happens and they are always in misery and in difficulty, and they ask themselves, is it that God is not faithful? Did you know? Your prayers... first fix the authority you have over you before your power to exercise authority. Do you understand what I am telling you now?

When you move in the sense of authority, and brothers, as I say, I did not understand this too until today I could say, that I am beginning to understand why I began to speak in these ways, is that the different dimensions of authority are mixed one with the other and the problem of the church, the problem of yours and mine is that we are not understanding the science of authority and the church itself does not understand the intricacies, as they say in English, the complexities of the concept of authority and That is why we have a weak church, that is why we have a church that speaks to the world and the world what it does, that laughs at it. It is a church without authority, it is a church that tells the world a lot of things and they say, wherever you are a crazy old man, you have nothing to tell us, what you talk about is nonsense. People laugh at the church.

Look at the difference when Elijah spoke, when Elisha spoke, kings trembled, when the church moves in authority in the world, look, it has to obey because it has to obey, and it has to pay attention because it has to pay attention , because a church that is sure of itself, a church that has paid the price, a church that knows what it believes, a church that is not... today knows how the church is today, in this country for example , that we first ask people when they come to church, what would you like us to preach? And so we preach that to him. What offends you, what do you not like that I preach? And then I take a poll, a survey and all those topics that cause controversy and annoyance, I take them out of my preaching repertoire so that people don't bother me and don't leave me, so that the deacons or the elders don't bother me. create trouble and kick me out of the pastor's position.

That's authority, that's pusillanimity, that's spiritual cowardice. That is being an employee, that is not being a prophet or a spokesperson for the word of God. The church at this time is like this, people come and tell the church, including, how the church should worship, what its rituals should be, how it should behave in the service. They say, if you behave this way we are going to go, and if not we are not going. And the church very obediently adjusts its repertoire and its form so that people come, so that they come and don't leave us alone.

You know, when the power of God moves in the church, when the authority of God is there, the church tells the world what to do, the church tells the world, we have the word of eternal life to you. You guys need to come here. And you have to submit to the dictates of the church, not the church to the dictates of society, which is what we currently have, because it is a church that has no power, no authority, so the church speaks to the world and the world laughs at it, it is an irrelevant church because it is a church that is functioning according to something else. It's like a captain, a colonel telling the soldiers, what would you like to do today? Are we going to war or not? Do we attack the enemy or do we not attack him? Do we use stones or rifles or grenades, what would you rather we use today?

Is this how an army works? Of course not. the officer says, the general gives the order and the soldiers obey. And then the thing moves in an effective way. And that's how the world of the spirit works too, that's how the church of Jesus Christ works. But a cowardly church, a pusillanimous church, a church that does not know the mysteries of the spirit, a church that has not seen the miracles of God, a church that does not believe God, because if the church believed God, it would say, we we are going to tell the world the word of God and if the world does not obey, God will bring his judgments or God will discipline them so that they come and align themselves with the church and the church remains upright, clear in its position.

And guess what? Over time God realigns the world and the world has to conform to God's word. This country is looking for and in need of an authoritative church. Look, this issue of Sarah Pailin, the governor of Alaska who is running for the Republican party. You know everything that this woman has been asked for, this is not an advertisement in favor of Sarah Pailin, you can believe what you want about it, but everything that this woman, whether she speaks in tongues or not, This is one thing that since she comes from a Pentecostal background, Assembly of God, all the journalists in the United States went to Alaska to see if they could find a video where Sarah Pailin was speaking in tongues to show her as a charlatan, a crazy, that he couldn't lead this nation as vice president, or if McCain ever died as president.

And unfortunately, do you know what happens here in this? That the poor woman herself, I believe, that if they asked her, I hope she would have the integrity to say, yes, I speak in tongues, but they are praying that they don't ask that question. And I say, there are millions of North Americans and millions of people in the world, tens of millions of people who speak Christian languages. If the world does not like to speak in language, that is the world's problem, not ours. We do not have to be ashamed to use a mystery that comes from the word of God. And you know what? I consider myself quite lucid intellectually and mentally even though I speak in tongues. And the fact that I speak in tongues I don't think disqualifies me from understanding what is happening in the world around me and governing properly.

But the church is cowed and I personally suspect that perhaps she, I don't know, changed churches a few years ago to defend herself against that accusation, a church that was a little quieter, quieter. That happens in American politics. And the people who believe in the true God in this country tell you, if you practice certain elements of the Bible, you are a fanatic, a fundamentalist, a madman and you have no right to govern us and that is why we sometimes change our song to that the world accepts us and the world lets us play in its backyard.

And guess what? When the church does that it is transacting with the devil himself. He is subtly telling Satan and the culture and the world, you have power over us, instead of the church being authority over the nations. And when a church makes this type of transaction, it immediately loses authority, it gets out of the problem at the moment when the journalist asks the question, do you speak in the language? Well, languages, what kind of languages are you referring to, linguistically, I don't know what, and they go around and don't answer the question out of fear. Guess what? At that moment there is a subtle transaction in the spirit world, the demons are witnesses. God is witness. The Holy Spirit is witness. The entire spiritual world is a witness and as you move at that moment you have authority or you do not have authority. That is why you have to live in integrity as much as possible. I myself who preach this I am afraid to speak that way because I myself am not up to what I preach sometimes, but I know that I have to reach that height. And that is what I ask the Lord, to help me reach it.

Let me give you another example of that: Daniel and his friends. Daniel is in Babylon, he knows that the food that they give to these young Hebrews who are in this university to be officials of the king of Babylon is food that has been dedicated to idols, it is demonic food, food given to demons. And Daniel understands the authority issue and he says, you know what? If I eat that food consecrated to demons, that tells me that I am implicitly acknowledging the authority of demons and I am participating with them. And Daniel and his classmates say, you know what? We're not going to eat that food. That was counter-cultural, it was something contrary to what the culture demanded, it was contrary to the ethos, to the values of that moment in the university where he was.

He was not being a team player. He was not playing the team game, he was getting out of the values. But Daniel says, no, there is a spiritual principle involved here, there is a spiritual principle of authority involved here and I am going to stand by. So he tells his supervisor, you know what? there is a test with us, let us eat only legumes and after ten days and see how we look like, if we are healthy or not. Because the supervisor told them, you know what? If you don't eat that food you're all going to get emaciated and then they're going to say that I'm not doing a good job of taking care of you. So it says, give us 10 days to see what happens, just 10 days and try us.

Because this is important, I am giving you steak here, not because I am giving it to you but because it is the word of God. Daniel tells them, let's try, what does the Bible say? At 10 days it says that Daniel and his companions were healthier, their faces were healthier and plumper than all his companions who were eating steak and salmon and all the king's food. And they, eating only vegetables, were stronger than their peers. And the Bible says that not only that, but that God also gave Daniel knowledge, gave him intelligence so that he could get all A's in college. And he also gave him spiritual wisdom, discernment, revelation. What happened? Daniel submitted to the spiritual authority, to the divine authority, he did not care if the idea was not popular or not, he was operating according to principles of the spirit, in the world of the spirit and what happened? That translated into authority in the world of matter. His very body obeyed the authority that God gave it, because when one submits to divine authority, one receives authority over matter, over human relationships, over everything else.

You see, this is the great revelation that God is giving to me and to you this morning, it is for you to exercise authority, submit to authority, be it spiritual, be it human, whatever it is. Respect the laws that are above you, flow according to the laws that are above you and the blessing will come to your life in other ways.

How many people violate the laws of matter and for example are eating all kinds of food inordinately, without discipline, they don't watch what they eat, they don't do any exercise, they live completely disordered lives in the world of matter, they don't obeying the laws that God established about the care of the body and illnesses come, physical problems come, difficulties come many times. It is not always due to disobedience, but in many cases brothers, we are not respecting the laws of the matter and so we do not expect that we are going to have authority, so we are praying to the Lord, Lord, heal me, help me, and God says, do you know what ? Stop eating so much sugar or salt, stop eating so much fat instead of eating those 4 chicharrones, eat one, once a week, do a little exercise, exercise your body, use the parts that you are not using.

Do you understand, brother? It is that the authority has to do in the end with everything. And when one moves under authority, God's blessing flows more easily in one, in one's life. A man complains that his wife does not obey him, or that his children do not obey him, he must often wonder if he is submitting to the authority of the Father in the way he treats his wife and his children.

How many sisters say amen to that? All sure. Or a sister is not submitting to a husband who treats her well, according to authority and there are things in her life that she sees as unblessed, her marriage is not being blessed, her children are not prospering. Look, sister, question yourself and examine yourself to see if you are submitting to a legitimate authority or not. a son sees that he is not doing well in life, he is always failing, he is not doing well in this, he is not doing well in that, his mind cannot think clearly, there is no blessing from God in his life, heaven is closed, there is failure wherever he goes, closed doors wherever he moves, missteps everywhere. Son, ask yourself if you are obeying your father and your mother, if you are subject to the authority that is above you where God says, so that it goes well, so that it goes well, so that it goes well, and if not You are doing well, it is possible, not always, but it is possible that it is because you are not flowing according to the laws of authority, you are not submitting to your head.

If you are obedient to your teachers, if you do not pay the tribute that your adults, your elders deserve, perhaps that is why there is no blessing in your life and you are on the road to failure, because you are not functioning according to the principles of authority.

You see how, brothers, this authority mixes one thing with the other. It is very deep, very deep, that is why I will close with this, that is why the centurion was blessed in the way that he was blessed in his purpose. This centurion, his understanding of the physical world gave him understanding of the spiritual world and that is why he was so successful in his purpose that his servant be healed. Because this man knew how to move. All his life he respected the laws of authority, in everything he did, this man seems to have moved impeccably and people like that, brothers, who move in that way... look, your life, you will see a blessing, He will see success, he will see influence, he will have the respect of others because he is a person who knows, he gives God what is God, he gives Caesar what belongs to Caesar, he gives the IRS what is from the IRS, he gives the police what belongs to the police, he gives his wife or husband what belongs to him, he gives his children what belongs to the children, in terms of authority and respect and everything others and owes nothing to anyone. Remember the passage from Romans, I don't know if it was here that I discussed it or in the 12 o'clock service. It says don't owe anyone anything, to whom tribute, tribute, to whom I respect, respect, to whom honor, honor.

In other words, make sure that in your life you give each one what each one deserves, that you always move within the law, the law of the spirit, the law of matter, the law of human relations . Move under authority and examine yourself where is the rebellion in your life, where is the misalignment with authority in your life, and align yourself with authority and the blessing will flow through you and you will get away with it, in other words.

This servant, look at the first thing he does, he knows how authority works and he, who does he send to talk to Jesus Christ? Read it there, he doesn't go, he sends the elders of Capernaum, he sends the scribes, who exactly does he say? Help me here, because this is important brothers, that's why I'm going to insist. It says, “...he sent some elders of the Jews begging him to come and heal his servant...”

Why does he do that? Because he knows through the laws of authority that he is simply a Roman soldier, he is not of the Jewish religion, he has no legal standing, he reasons to go before Jesus. He doesn't have a legal right, he feels like I don't have credentials, I don't have authority, if I were a Jew, a Hebrew I could communicate with this man. Because that's how it works in the military. In the army you don't jump in to talk to the general if you are a corporal. Where are you going? You go to the sergeant so that the sergeant can talk to the lieutenant, and the lieutenant with the captain, and the captain with the major, and the major with the colonel. Because you know that there is a chain of command and he knew that the chain of command dictated that it be a Jew talking to him and a spiritual elder. This man understands the laws of authority.

And finally he says to the Lord, you know what, Lord? I understand how these laws work, you do not have to be present. A general does not have to be present to tell a colonel or a lieutenant to send a battalion to such a place. What does the general do? He picks up the phone and calls and gives an order and that order gets where it needs to go and is carried out, because the general has the authority to have it carried out. Then, the servant said, this is how the world of the spirit must work and brothers, this is how the world of the spirit works.

According to the authority that you have, you can move mountains or you can move a lot of money or you can move a cancer, or you can move a headache, or you can, find you a parking space, when you need, those they are the mysteries of the spirit world. If you move in authority, if you are in authority, this is very complex, but it is so. So, he said, you know what? You don't have to come, sir, just say the order. It bothered him that a being as powerful as Jesus had to travel to go to his house. He said, no, man, pick up the phone and call, send an email and that will be done. And the Lord said, wow, the faith that this man has is great and right away his servant was healed.

And look, the other thing, this man knew how to use authority because he loved his servant. If he had been another type of person in authority, he would have kicked instead of loved his servant, but here we have him taking care of his servant. And you know what? So that they get more upset, I'm going to preach one last sermon soon on authority, because there is another part that has stayed with me... because that's how it works in the family and everywhere.

You will see when I focus more fully on family authority, and you will see that this goes for all... God is giving us a very important revelation in our lives. And if you have the wisdom to listen to it and pay attention to it, your life will be revolutionized, your life will be changed, you will be able to move in that authority. The Lord wants us to meditate well: how is my life with respect to authority. Is there rebellion in my heart, is there criticism, is there resistance to authority? As the Dominicans say, I grumble when they tell me to do something and when you advise me and when they say no. Look, there are people in this church and in other churches, when I say no to something, you see it right away, you can almost see the little smoke coming out of their noses and ears. They do not know how to submit to authority and that is not a blessing.

When you don't flow under authority don't pretend you're going to have authority. Word of the Lord for the people of God. We are going to stand up, our worship team as you know is getting ready, they have a class that they are taking, and that is why they are not here now, and that is going to happen for a few weeks until they finish their class, which we say which is a great blessing. And so be it, but let us have a word of prayer here, I bless you in the name of Jesus, may God help us to understand these things more and more. Father, thank you, thank you for having us here this morning, thank you for blessing us with your word, Lord, we receive it. Help us to preach these things in the spirit of Jesus Christ, help us to hold ourselves to the word of God and I myself who preach these things, Lord, help me to move according to them. Give me understanding about what I preach, Father, I am the first one who needs to learn to move under authority in order to exercise authority, but this morning we ask you to help us and bless your children, bless your people, Father.

We bless your people this morning, Father. We declare you blessing on their lives, in the mighty name of Jesus, and the people of God say, amen. May the grace of the Lord be with you, my brothers, God bless you. We love you very much. Say hello to someone this morning.
