Resistance is the the refusal to accept or comply with something; the attempt to prevent something by action or argument, opposition. I was awakened to FATHER imparting this Word. by THE SPIRIT Paul wrote in Romans chapter 13:
1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.
2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.
All authority originates with FATHER and HE will give authority to whomever HE will for HE is sovereign and we are to submit to those in authority until FATHER tells us otherwise. Since authority originates with HIM, those in authority only serve according to FATHER’S mandate for they have derivative authority and nothing originates with them.
What happens when those in authority abuse their position and become opposed to FATHER and HIS Divine Intent? They are removed in some form or fashion. Throughout history FATHER has employed kings and nations to remove HIS opposition and will continue to do so as HE wishes. As individuals we are to submit to authority given by FATHER and pursue Love in each and every circumstance. Paul continues:
7 Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.
As the resistance by the opposition increases, it will be increasingly important to hear FATHER’S Voice in all matters. We must not look for an excuse to fail to pay what is due to others during times of transition. Let us be above reproach for many will look at injustices as an excuse to be lawless themselves. Paul restates the second Great Commandment Jesus spoke concerning Love thy neighbor:
8 Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.
Turmoil and instability in the world are increasing. If you have placed your trust in people, money, systems, technology, or any other form of creation you may become seriously disappointed soon. The current systems in place will work until they don’t. Your current investments will also work until they don’t. Where you place your trust will soon determine your level of peace. Paul further wrote:
11 And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.
12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.
13 Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy.
14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.
As we simplify our lives and focus on FATHER’S Divine Intent and priorities, we will no longer be moved by the chaos around us but instead we will walk in peace. Our walk will be as a light to others as they search for answers once their misapplied trust is shattered. All of these worldly systems must fall in order for the Kingdom of Peace to come forth and spread across the land and there will be resistance as this takes place. We must be true overcomers because there will be much to “overcome”. What an appropriate word!
There will be those who cling to the things they trusted in as they evaporate into history. Let us look upward and onward for our full redemption draweth nigh for we will be the ones who lead the others through FATHER’S next transition for we have placed our trust IN HIM.
