You have to understand authority in order to operate in it. It takes grace to operate authority. Two authorities cannot reign at the same time. One has to stay submitted and wait to be raised up, then the one with the greater authority can send the other out.
Authority Understands Authority
When someone does not understand authority, they fight against it, for example, Lucifer fighting against God.
Jesus understood authority, which is why He never lacked or needed anything.
Authority brings wealth, riches, and prosperity.
When you understand authority (the Gospel of Jesus Christ, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit), God can’t do anything but bless you.
Authority is part of God’s grace. The key is to submit to God, but people have a problem submitting to Him. If we submit to God, then we will resist the devil, and he will flee from us. We cannot resist the devil first then submit to God; that is perverted. The only one who totally submitted to God is Jesus Christ. We have to submit our will to God, which means we do not fight against what He wants us to do and what He wants to do for us. Therefore, we have to submit ourselves in the sight of God (He sees everything that we do 24/7), and then He will lift us up.
In Matthew 17:24-27, we see that Peter understood authority. Jesus gave Peter instructions in order to pay taxes.
Peter did not have to work to pay for his taxes, but this only came through authority. God can do the same for us. We do not have to work on man’s job for God to take care of us. We just have to understand authority.
According to 1 Peter 5:5-11, we see in this passage of scripture that humility is a garment, and we must submit ourselves to elders and those in leadership. Everything happens after we submit, and in due time, He may exalt us. God will never exalt anyone with a motive. We can’t resist the devil if we do not remain steadfast. After we suffer for a while, we are made perfect, established, strengthened, and settled. But first, we have to learn how to serve, love, and submit to the gospel of Jesus Christ, who is grace and truth.
