Authority understands authority. Authority submits to authority.
Authority is God's grace and humility. The Bible said God gave Jesus Christ all authority in heaven and on the earth.
Understanding Authority
Submission is when you put the authority you sit under before your own authority. Greater comes from submission. The world thinks that having great authority means "what I got" and "what I did," but it's not so in the Kingdom of God. In the kingdom, it is about submission. Jesus Christ had all authority, but He submitted to His Father, which is the authority He sits underneath.
How we introduce ourselves will show our faith. Faith cannot operate on its own, and sometimes we think when God gives us a job to do in the house of God, we think we have authority over people. It does not take anything from us to submit up under authority. You can never fail when you have great faith. You will never fail when you know how to submit. Man loves having authority but doesn't want to submit to authority. Authority or having a position does not operate faith; submitting under authority is what operates faith.
God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. Anytime we don't submit to authority, we will fail. The hardest thing for God's people to do is to submit to authority.
When we don't understand how to operate in authority, we will create a destructive environment; it'll be a mess.
In reference to Matthew 17:20, "So Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you."
It is not the size of the mustard seed that the Lord is teaching, but having faith as a mustard seed that produces such big faith. There is a big tree inside of a mustard seed, and we have to plant our faith for it to grow, not just have faith.
Obstacles are mountains. Whatever the enemy tries to put in your way is a mountain, and you must speak to that mountain and tell it to move. As God's people, we cannot be afraid to speak the truth and tell our mountains to move. For with God, all things are possible. Jesus told the disciples everything they learned from Him; they can also do it because they saw Him do it, but only if they believed in Him. No matter what, man (humans) said, contrary to Him.
