AUTHORITY
Without laws in a country there would be chaos. Those that uphold these laws start in the local area with the City Commissioners, the local police, and the sheriff’s department. Laws are put into place to keep peace in the communities. If someone breaks the law, they must pay the penalty, because it is required of those in authority to ensure peace.
We have seen misuse in authority in our nation from the Executive Branch, Judicial Branch, and the Legislative Branch. Laws have been broken by those in authority to serve their own purposes. Many fundamental laws that have made our nation strong have been broken. It becomes chaotic when evil men make new laws which call evil good and good evil by those in authority.
There is an authority that is higher than any governmental authority on earth, and it is the authority that God has. He will always have the final word that will overrule the authority that man takes by force, or deception. God shows us through His written Word what is right and what is wrong. Through studying the Word of God, we learn what is good and what is evil.
In Proverbs 12:15 it says, “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.” What counsel would that be? It would be Godly counsel that comes from the Word of God.
In Judges 17:6 it says, “In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.” This is indicative of today’s humanism, where everyone decides what is right for them. They discount the relativity of God’s Word and use their own foolish ways to justify what is right for them. They have rejected the authority of God’s word.
When we remove the boundary, or the landmark from a property then no one knows what property is theirs, or what property is their neighbors. Proverbs 22:28 says, “Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.” This was speaking of boundaries, but it also reflects on removing God’s Word from a nation. When we remove the Word of God from schools, governments, and individual lives, we can be certain that we will have a country that will fall. Without God’s Word as that which is truth, we have no truth. There are no boundaries. This is the way of a nation’s downfall because they have forsaken God’s authority.
Let us individually never turn away from God and the authority of His Word that he has given us as believers. It is the only way of protection for an individual to survive in the days ahead. We must use the name of Jesus as our authority over sickness, plagues, weather, and terror. It truly will be our strong tower in the days that are coming. Don’t take that for granted. You can make a difference my friends.
