    Biblical Authority And Christian Experience

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 16, 2011
     | 3,822 views

    The basis for our faith and practise must be the authority of God’s Word, and not our own personal experience. This concept is explored through referring to the instruction Jesus provided to people who had believed Him.

    “Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, ‘If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.’ They answered him, ‘We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, “You will become ...read more

    Go back in time with me for a minute, the day you were Born-Again into the Family of God you received spiritual authority. On that day, you were made new a creation in Jesus Christ; Moreover, you inherited the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

    What Does Authority Look Like? Luke 10:16-20NASB In Moody Monthly, the author recounted his experience of watching a wildcat in a zoo. "As I stood there," he said, "an attendant entered the cage through a door on the opposite side. He had nothing in his hands but a broom. Carefully closing the ...read more

     | 6,846 views

    Now it is impossible to activate authority without having a recognized identity. Since authority organizes and drives itself through our accepted identity.

    As believers, we do not know how to react as we are witness to the weaknesses and unpreparedness of our supposed technological advancement in addressing the problems of our days: although, knowledge has increased exponentially?

    The second part of Are You Authorized studying those who are authorized to do the work of God.

    Last week we talk about being authorized to do the things of God.
