AUTHORITY AND SUBMISSION

"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him for he careth for you." 1 Peter 5:6-7

"You will walk in the same level of authority as the level you walk in submission to."
....Pastor Troy Bohn.

As i have been digging into the word on this subject since my new years fast, i have gained some new insight and knowledge into it.

"All authority is derived from God: therefore to submit to authority honors God. Submission is an act of faith, establishing God as the ultimate authority over the relationship, be it connected with government, church, employment, or home. ***The higher the authority the greater the accountability to God." ...Melanie Bohn

"Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered. And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him." Hebrews 5:8-9

Ultimate submission.

"Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him." 1 Peter2:22

Ultimate Authority.

As i submit to Gods ultimate authority and to those who lovingly speak the authority of the Word of God into my life, i am being freed in my spirit of much of what i once perceived as authority. i did not want to be bossed around or listen to people who i mistakingly judged as less knowledgeable than myself. i was full of pride and haughtiness. i am judging myself biblically and i ask forgiveness. To be the servant of all as Jesus was, i must submit to all. To the authority God has given them. Every believer has God given authority and power. Everyone who walks in the righteousness of God.

i believe anyone who speaks into my life with the love of God is a blessing and i need to hear. God will bring a quickening unto Him in my spirit of the truth in all situations and in all conversations. i blogged before about being a bride of Christ. i am first and foremost under his authority in my life, and i understand i am a servant of all. In this earthly life i must always come from a place of God's love when in all situations. In other believers lives, but also the unbelievers life because how else will they know the love of Christ but for how we bring Him? The 1 Corinthians 13 kind of love. i strive to be that kind of servant in all situations, amen.
