BLESSED BY BEING OBEDIENT TO AUTHORITY IN ORDER TO HAVE PEACE

My Dear Precious Child, Paul was very specific about people being obedient to authority so that they might have peace in their lives. When you are obedient to the church officials who are serving the church, you eliminate strife and every evil demon who accompanies strife. Those demons form a barrier between you and Me and can take over the entire church if allowed to persist in their works of jealousy, envy and false teachings and prophesies. He wrote a sentence in the letter asking for the church to pray for him and the other people in authority over the church. He wrote that he trusts that all of the ministers of the church have a good CONSCIENCE and in all things they are willing to live honestly and to walk uprightly in all things. He also asked the church members to pray for him so that he would be able to be with them sooner than expected. Paul was very protective of the churches which he established, protective of their hearing sound doctrine and refusing to listen to false prophets and teachers. Another area of which Paul was concerned is obedience to civil authorities. He asked the church to keep themselves out of jail and out of court where your accusers can take every penny that you owe in fines, court cost, etc. Keeping peace with everyone in our life has magnificent rewards because I can pour out My blessings upon you when you are walking in love with every person. When you are at peace with everyone, I can more easily pour out My blessings onto your life. (Isaiah 59:1-6; Hebrews 13:1-5) There are many opportunities that My children have to be in strife with other people. That's how the devil works in the earth, by sowing seeds of strife in the lives of My children. Paul also wrote in his letter to the Hebrews that people in the church be encouraged not allow love of money to flood into their minds. He said for the church members to be satisfied with their present circumstances because I said that I would never fail you or leave you. Actually He wrote that I will never, not in any way, leave you helpless, fearful or terrified. (Hebrews 13:6) He also wrote that Jesus Christ, the Messiah, is the same yesterday, today, and yes, forever. He never changes and His words never change. So Paul wrote for you not to be carried away with varied and alien teachings because it's good for you to be established and strengthened by My grace and for you not to be devoted to rules or regulations concerning diet and ritualistic meals which bring no benefit for those who observe those rituals. Paul was contrasting the old covenant Mosiac Laws with My new covenant laws of liberty and freedom. He was adamant about refusing to allow the Jewish Pharisees to entice the church member to return back to being bound to laws, rules and regulations in order to gain salvation over the evil that's in the earth. Paul wrote that he was sure about the CONSCIENCE of his fellow ministers, knowing that they had a clear conscience in all things. Make sure that your conscience continues to be free from bondage to old, ineffective Mosaic Laws. The words of My Holy Spirit will be your ever loyal guide to Liberty. Your Father of Freedom and Liberty
