THE AUTHORITY OF THIS DAY

By Alyce McPherson

There are many realms of authority in the governmental systems of the world. We have city, county, state and federal government. The power of each governmental system is based upon laws that have been set in motion and the power that enforce these laws is known as authority.

There are governmental systems in the heavenly realm. Laws govern the solar system of the universe. The heavenly laws super impose themselves upon the realm of earth , and are the highest form of government and authority.

When we break the word AUTHORITY down we see the following:

AUTHOR - ITY ; God is the AUTHOR, the beginning, the inventor, the instigator and the idealistic concept of the word authority. There is no authority outside of Him. He has the PATENT or COPYRIGHT on authority. God and authority are one and the same.

Since man was created in the likeness and image of God, within man is the potential to exercise this authority. This authority is only authority when man walks in communion with God, otherwise it loses its true identity and has no power or dominion. Gold in its most valuable form is purified through a process. Man automatically has the authority of God within him, but it takes a process to bring it to its full potential.

When Adam walked in communion with God he walked in full authority of what he knew. This authority was based upon innocence however and was susceptible to the wiles of the serpent. The Serpent cult was the great counterfeit and originality of the New Age move we see in the earth today. It’s foundation is based in the humanity of man, the lust of his flesh, the lust of the eye and the pride of life. Authority in its purest form is experiential knowledge of truth. The definition of truth in scripture is referred to what is not hidden. We can only discern and analyze what we see.

When Adam participated in the doctrine of the Serpent , his eyes were opened to the plan and purpose of God and he saw himself naked. He saw he was only a figure of Him that was to come. This concept of nakedness weakened his sense of spiritual authority , because he saw himself apart from God.

The authority of God is based upon the fact that we came out of God, we are of that same spirit, and are only separated from Him in our mind. We can only have the authority of God as we walk in communion and covenantal truth with God.

The Kingdom message in the earth today is in the form of word only, and because it is presently in word only, it lives in the shadows of the Church age and its glory. Kingdom speaks of a people becoming partakers of God’s life to the extent they begin to walk as one with Christ in the earth, taking dominion over everything that speaks or manifests death. This message has been rejected and spurned by the multitudes, because it speaks of death being put under the feet of a corporate body of sons who have grown to the measure and stature of the fullness of Christ.

Creation today is participating in New age, Charismatic and past Spiritual visitations in the earth. The rational mind see these visitations of Spirit and believe they will last forever, because the multitudes are involved. God has always left the multitude and taken a a few aside as He did Peter, James and John and revealed the truth concerning the changes that were going to take place in the earth. A people have been taken aside today, and have tasted a word that points to perfection. They have experienced the realm of the cures and the popularity of the moment, but they believe God has something greater for His people, and are willing to endure the reproach as others have endured who have ushered in the reality of a word.

Why does God leave a popular move in the earth, when it is obvious He is in the midst of it and was the source of its beginning? Every move thus far has been in the realm of man’s dominion. He has the ability to enter into the move of the Spirit of God, and after a season, control the move and heap glory upon himself. Man’s authority is coming to an end however, for we are upon the threshold of the Kingdom age. An age in God’s divine purpose that man in his humanity cannot touch.

Job 28:7 (KJV)

The authority of the church age as we have know it to be, was based upon religious man’s attempt to find his way back to God. We have heard for the past two thousand years that God is in us, but unless we live above sin , we will not make it to heaven. This interpretation of salvation is based on works, and totally disannuls faith which is empowered by the Grace of God. We do not preach a humiliated Christ, that gave His life in vain, but a redeemer that tasted death for every man and through His resurrection abolished death and brought life and immortality to light.

This lack of knowledge is no different than Adam seeing himself naked when his eyes were opened . We are saved by our faith in what was accomplished through Jesus Christ as the forerunner of our full redemption.

Hebrews 11:1: (concordant literal), Now faith, is an assumption of what is being expected, a conviction concerning matters which are not being observed for in this the elders were testified to, by faith we are apprehending the eons to adjust to a declaration of God, so that what is being observed has not come out of what is appearing.

The things we cannot see with the natural eye are to be brought into existence by apprehending the eons to adjust to Gods plan and purpose. We apprehend the eons by speaking the revealed word of God by faith.

The authority of days past has produced the sound of many waters. This voice has resounded throughout the church age, and brought forth division and confusion concerning God’s plan for the ages. This has been the wisdom of God in operation as the sword turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

Creation is out of harmony with Gods divine plan and purpose for this planet. The creative power we have within us gives new form, virtue and purity from all things existing in gross corruptibility. This creative power must begin with faith, but faith cannot arrive to its full measure , until fleshly reason is led into captivity and cast into a dead sleep.

The authority of the Kingdom age, is the voice of the Son of God, speaking out of a people declaring life and immortality in manifestation.

^{. Genesis 3:24 (KJV) So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.}
