There will be a Church which is His Body, according to the prophecy which will come to perfect unity.
INSUBORDINATION BRINGS POVERY: Insubordination simply means not subordinate, not obedient, not submitting to authority.
Any act that challenges God’s authority on any level is insubordination.
Today, egoism is the in thing. The media has blown up the image of man and made superstars of human trash.
The unchangeable God has established unchangeable authority.
Because men follow the way of Satan, violence fills this present day. It will grow worse as we approach the end of this age.
There can be no profaning the unchangeable authority of God wherever it is established in ministries.
A man walking under God’s direction, saying and doing God’s commands, becomes God’s responsibility.
To know one after the human is entirely different than knowing after the Spirit.
The structure of ministry in the church is somewhat like the anatomy, an infinity of member of interrelated parts.
The Church, as God designed it, should carry absolute authority.
When God speaks, you will hear absolute authority.
When God speaks, His words are in the absolute.
Authority in the absolute comes from God through the Son and is ministered by the Holy Spirit.
God’s earthly plan never goes awry. The voice of authority, if it is of God, cannot fail.
God may use a man, but a man must have God’s ability.
No one can live a spiritual life without Christ indwelling and His life becoming theirs.
The more yielded man becomes, the more he will hear the voice of the absolute.
The Church is the only place this absolute authority is functioning.
The corporate design of the Body of Christ has God-defined gifts and ministries to receive this [absolute] authority.
The authority of God that comes by the gift places a limitation by the ministry.
Every ministry has its limitation because it is dependent, not independent.
In the body of Christ, there is no such ministry as an independent one.
LESSONS ALL MUST LEARN: God’s authority must be obeyed unreservedly.
When there is a “thus saith the Lord,” it must come to pass. When He speaks, worlds shake.
You must accept, in the church, delegated authority; authority of your earthly husband and father as the family head; elders, or fathers, of the church are given authority to rule over the flock of God.
God always gives a gift and then a ministry before an office appointment.
Humility must dominate any man in divine position.
The church will carry unchanging authority so its government must be according to the pattern of God.
It is absolutely necessary to know how to be under authority. Sons of God are those who know the power of obeying.
Parental authority molds a child’s thinking and stabilizes its character.
There are no options for parents whether they correct a child. Failure here will produce a bewildered human being.
The sons of God have learned the secret of obeying.
Delegated authority is often rejected because the individual is seen and not the delegated authority.
Husbands are part of the delegated system of authority. They are not easily seen in this position.
The demands upon a husband relative to headship are exhausting until he learns to obey the authority of God.
Some husbands never yield to God, so they develop a carnal authority. This is devastating and keeps a union in turmoil.
True authority comes from God and is hindered by carnal mixture.
Carnal authority is ever changing, unstable with a limited foresight. Not so with divine authority.
A husband can appreciate the position of his wife submitting when he submits to his local elders.
Authority in isolation is powerless. The corporate design of the Body of Christ has divine muscle to rule with dignity and righteousness so that equity can cover the earth in judgment.
God has great plans for you. His plans are beyond what you could ever imagine.
There will be a Church which is His Body, according to the prophecy which will come to perfect unity.
The day of the coming together has started. The end of sectarianism is in sight.
The Church is a special people that move by the Holy Spirit as one body.
There is no way [the Church] can work as do the organizations. It is not a one-man ministry.
When the Holy Spirit begins to draw you unto Himself and you begin to live all your life under His care, your eyes will see this Church, and sectarianism will be revolting to you.
Gadabouts never know the mind of Christ. They look zealous, but it is a product of not knowing His will.
My sheep know My voice, and they will not follow another—Shepherds are like fathers.
The home is not a pattern designed of men but God.
