  • Phil Pringle of Christian City Church, Sydney says it comes from attitude.

    I believe it comes from God / Yahweh. Always keeping in mind that God allows and God has set all boundaries.............. ...........................Matthew 20:23.

    JOHN ANSWERED AND SAID:

    A MAN CAN RECEIVE NOTHING UNLESS IT HAS BEEN GIVEN HIM FROM ABOVE................................... ......................JOHN 3:27.
This is actually end of story because God said it, I believe it, that's it, amen.
For example there were many kings in the holy bible and many who were not in the holy records of God that had terrible attitudes yet they were still kings and still had authority and God allowed and allows this for his own perpetual purpose.....Romans 8:28.

One character Saul who became St Paul had great authority that he may go forth and kill christians, people of.......the way........ .....and God allowed it or could he not stop it?..............good question but the answer is an obvious..........Yes!.......( Job 1:12 ).

This attitude / slant of teaching has always placed the spot light on men and women and by passes Almighty God. It's always what you are going to do, the changing the world theology, the little Jesus's mind set, the we are the department of youth we've got the power attitude and the choosing of who and what you will be in his Jesus Ministry........I think I will be an apostle, no, an evangelist, no I don't like that anymore I call myself apostle, pastor, prophet, teacher and evangelist or a least that's what I will write on my card / piece of paper, which has been endorsed by the ............Church of Success and Prosperity......................... .man ordained or God ordained?

Along with these attitudes comes the carnal thinking that an apostle, prophet, pastor etc..........needs to fit the particular standards of a religious denomination, well oiled organisation or religious business. But the truth is God looks on the heart, even the prophet Samuel was reminded of this..............not what men and women want!

Hence no matter how much men and women groom their followers unless the almighty one has appointed, anointed, called and sent, you will never fill the shoes of that position no matter how wonderful, nice, good, acceptable, trendy or fancy your attitude. My older brother had a very passive, kind, gentle attitude but was no preacheror called to be.

Jeremiah's attitude was I am too young, definitely an attitude of insecurity and inferiority however God Almighty settled all that by saying this.....don't worry young fella, I the creator have given it to you to operate in this ministry, office, position, call and just be yourself in Christ..............amen!.............be as natural in the spirit as you are in the natural because it is your lot.............Psalm 16:5 
"Before I formed you in the Womb" Jeremiah 1:1-10.
All the attitude in the world could never and can never give you more authority than what God almighty has ordained or allowed, don't fool yourself or anyone else. This is the very deception with which satan snared renegade Eve with in her backyard.........you can be someone that God has not ordained, called, anointed or appointed you to be!.............Genesis 3:5, Acts 17:26.....................(click here).

I am going to finish now but before I leave you I want you to know how to not only have authority, the fullness of authority that Father has given you but also how to know your calling, office / if you have one, ministry and boundary. Also if you will do what I suggest you will also know if you are saved and being saved.

Listen now......."humble yourself under the mighty hand of God".........I sincerely insist that you get yourself a copy of my book........Justice, Mercy and Humility a very relevant and powerful book, the message was taken from the oracles of the prophet Micah, written / December 1995...a must for the power hungry. Although written near eight years ago it's just perfect for the attitude of church leaders and church goers today...............incredible!
  • ALL AUTHORITY HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH...............MATTHEW 28:18A...... .............SELAH!
