Spiritual Authority

The necessary responses for each believer regarding spiritual authority are:

1. To understand the biblical principles of spiritual authority and how it operates

2. To express the authority that God has delegated to them in a proper way

3. To honor the authority that God has delegated to others in humility

Five spheres of delegated authority:

1. Self government - Proverbs 16:32
2. The family - Ephesians 5:18-6:4; Colossians 3:18-22
3. The market place - Ephesians 6:5-8; Colossians 3:22-25
4. The civil government - Romans 13:1-7
5. The church - Hebrews 13:17, 24; 1 Timothy 5:17
