If we do not know the responsibilities and boundaries of Spiritual Authorities, how can we possibly know if those who represent themselves as authorities in our lives are expressing God's authority, or authority scripture attributes to Satan, the Devil, the Beast and the Kingdom of Darkness, as the same Greek is used to define all of them, but sometimes it is translated differently! Romans 13:1,2 tells us, "all authority is of God and has been established by God, whoever resists them resists what God has established and brings judgment on themselves." So, why did we teach our children in our Sunday Schools to model their lives after the great heroes of the Christian Faith who openly defied the authorities God placed in their lives and faced judgment? True Spiritual Authority will never lead anyone to violate the First Command, separating them from God, leading to their ultimate destruction. That's what the Serpent did to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden!
