Spiritual Authority

The only thing that the devil respects is spiritual authority from heaven! This message from heaven, delivered with the help of the Holy Ghost during a fellowship meeting in Springfield, Ohio, is vital for this very hour in the gospel day. Spiritual authority is not a far-off thing that only certain saints can possess; it is available to every one of us: accumulated by living a detailed and consecrated life. Salvation is not a one-sided relationship! You don't fast and pray and sacrifice on your end and God not pour out on you in return. If you are living detailed and consecrated life, then you have authority from God as surely as you are alive: you must only exercise it. However, if there are any question marks in your life, then when the time comes when spiritual authority is needed, those questions will stop you from going any further. Saints, if your walk with God allows you to have true confidence, then it is time for you to exercise that authority. The need is very great!
