Publisher's summary

Authority is a tremendous thing in the universe, nothing overshadows it. God's throne is established on His authority. God's authority represents God Himself. God alone is authority in all things; all the authorities of the earth are instituted by God. It is therefore important for us who desire to serve God to know the authority of God.

God's authority is absolute, hence we must give Him absolute submission (our heart's attitude) and absolute obedience (our outward actions). But to His delegated authorities we can render absolute submission, but only relative obedience. For their authorities are circumscribed by the measure of the life of Christ in them. Only when they themselves submit to God's authority in them are they able to represent God. Hence there is much we have to learn about how to represent God.

Enjoyed this audiobook

I have been to Christian for the last 15 years. I really didn’t understand authority until I heard this book. I had to read this for our men’s group at our church. Glad the recommendation.

Must read!

Tons of truths revealed to take the authority of the believer. Where is our path in repentance, authority, service, obedience, leadership, calling, and into your unique position in the ecumenical body. God only numbers the troops that march in rows and ranks having no use for rebellion in His house or in His army of hosts.

delegated authority

so no church or government meets the qualifications of a legitimately delegated authority, and whether you are made martyr by refusing to kneel to the illegitimate authority of anyone from nero to communist china: its all the same as far as the lord is concerned.

Authoritative book on authority

Written from the notes of people who listened to Nee's lectures, this book offers a 3D perspective on God's authority as exercised through people. It also explores our weaknesses in submitting to it, as well as our tendency to abuse it. Very convicting book, and made to help believers grow.

Love Watchman Née writing

By reading his books helps me grow in my spiritual walk, he backs everything back to the Bible.
I thank God for blessing Mr. Née, in such a way that after so many years people like myself can read, enjoy and grow.
