Where does authority come from?
1. Authority is granted from one in Authority, for operation by those under their authority to yield results within the area or scope of that authority.
If you watch crime shows, you'll often hear someone say, "That's not in my jurisdiction." The authority operates within certain geographic boundaries.
2. The highest authority you can utilize is the highest authority all parties recognize.
3. When Jesus ministered to children, He dealt with the parents. The authority Jesus operated in came from God and from the father of the little girl.
We often hear the term, "God is in control." This attitude says everything that happens is from God. This becomes problematic when tragedy occurs. If God was in control, everyone would be believers and be healed. This saying doesn't take into account:
1. There are two kingdoms - God's kingdom and the kingdom of darkness.
2. We sometimes make bad decisions that impact our lives for many years.
3. We've been given a free will.
