  8. Significance of Spiritual Authority Jesus lived in the context of authority . . . John 5:30 (NLT) But I do nothing without consulting the Father. I judge as I am told. And my judgment is absolutely just, because it is according to the will of God who sent me; it is not merely my own. John 7:16 (NLT) So Jesus told them, “I’m not teaching my own ideas, but those of God who sent me.

  9. Significance of Spiritual Authority Jesus lived in the context of authority . . . Matthew 22:17–21 (NLT) Now tell us what you think about this: Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?” . . . 19 Here, show me the coin used for the tax.” When they handed him a Roman coin, 20 he asked, “Whose picture and title are stamped on it?” 21 “Caesar’s,” they replied. “Well, then,” he said, “give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God.”

  13. Responsibilities to Spiritual Authority When Under Authority • Rebellion is a most serious and dangerous base of operations, or fortress for the enemy to have in our lives. • It is the foundation to Satan’s kingdom. • You enter into Satan’s realm or world of activity through rebellion. • You become a subject for Satan to have very strong and destructive influence in your life.

  14. Responsibilities to Spiritual Authority When In Authority Moses Numbers 20:1-12

  15. Responsibilities to Spiritual Authority When In Authority • Delegated authority has the supreme responsibility to represent God, His character, His truth, His values, and His ways. • Delegated authority must seek God’s mind and will, then communicate and lead accordingly. • A leader that leads according to his or her own desires or benefit is in rebellion toward God, just like those who will not submit to authority in their lives, and they open themselves up to Satan’s influence in their lives through his base of operations or stronghold.
