The Power of Authority

The Power of Authority: When a person who has authority gives an order, those under that authority, obey the order. It is not necessary to have physical or visual contact with the person who gives the order; if they receive the order, they obey it. And obedience to authority, is based on the rank of who issues the order and not in the rank of the carrier. For example, when a soldier takes an order from the General, who receive the order from the soldier obeys it, because it comes from the General, no matter that it is brought by a simple soldier. The faith is based in this concept of authority. Jesus has authority and his word has power, even at a distance, without seeing or touching. Jesus has given us very specific orders and if we can give those orders in the name of Jesus, we will be obeyed, because the orders come from the Lord and King of the universe. This is explained in the passage of the Roman officer and Jesus in Luke 7:1-10. The kingdom of darkness trembles at this concept of faith. If you are under the authority of Jesus, you have His Power to give His Orders and be obeyed. Obey Jesus and you will be obeyed.
