Authority

Authority is the invisible force which God uses to order the universe.
It is one of the ways of God - a law of the Kingdom - more constant
and powerful than gravity.

It fills up every space.

Authority can be given.
It can be received.
It can be increased or decreased.

Authority can be earned.
It can be stolen.
It can be touched and handled.

Authority can be recognized.
It can be ignored.
It can be used or misused.

You can have authority,
be under authority,
speak with authority
or speak against it.

Authority can be resisted or released.

"Of the increase of His government (authority) and peace there will be no end" Isaiah 9:7
