Spiritual Authority

De: Watchman Nee

Narrado por: Josh Miller

Authority is a tremendous thing in the universe, nothing overshadows it. God's throne is established on His authority. God's authority represents God Himself. God alone is authority in all things; all the authorities of the earth are instituted by God. It is therefore important for us who desire to serve God to know the authority of God.

God's authority is absolute, hence we must give Him absolute submission (our heart's attitude) and absolute obedience (our outward actions). But to His delegated authorities we can render absolute submission, but only relative obedience. For their authorities are circumscribed by the measure of the life of Christ in them. Only when they themselves submit to God's authority in them are they able to represent God. Hence there is much we have to learn about how to represent God.

Excellent and extremely extensive on authority!

Covers probably everything you need to know on authority. I highly recommend it! Great speaker as well.

Enjoyed this audiobook

I have been to Christian for the last 15 years. I really didn’t understand authority until I heard this book. I had to read this for our men’s group at our church. Glad the recommendation.

Awesome knowledge 😎

I appreciate your time and sacrifice for such an awesome explanation of the Authority in Jesus Christ. The reading is very clear and concise explanation of Authority GOD'S WAY. Whether you like it or not, the truth makes you free. Thank you for standing for righteousness during such a rebellious time as this. May God Truly Bless You.

delegated authority

so no church or government meets the qualifications of a legitimately delegated authority, and whether you are made martyr by refusing to kneel to the illegitimate authority of anyone from nero to communist china: its all the same as far as the lord is concerned.

Authoritative book on authority

Written from the notes of people who listened to Nee's lectures, this book offers a 3D perspective on God's authority as exercised through people. It also explores our weaknesses in submitting to it, as well as our tendency to abuse it. Very convicting book, and made to help believers grow.
