For some people they lose it, their whole life is in a mess and a turmoil because why? Because they're the owner, and therefore they have to worry. Jesus said don't be anxious, seek first the kingdom! Seek first the right mentality about everything you've got. God owns it! If He owns it let Him worry about it! I'll enjoy working with it, using it, being a blessing with it. I'll be a good steward of it. See, good isn't it aye? Okay, here's the second one, authority. This is a word we all hate. It's a very difficult one, but actually authority is the legal right to rule and make decisions. It's a lawful right to make decisions, so authority is really important. So what you're responsible for you have authority over and so we need to see - now here's the difference between a democratic way of viewing and then a kingdom way of thinking. Now in a democracy the source of authority is the people. In a democracy the source of the authority is the people - power to the people. People get to vote in who they want, and so authority that the government has comes from the people and the authority is given by the people to someone who'll represent them.
So you vote someone in and they can't just do their own thing - or they're not supposed to. They're supposed to actually represent you, and if they don't do what the people want then they are breaking down democracy, because democracy is the power is in the hands of the people and the democratic government is a government whereby the people who rule over are the representatives of the ones ruled. That's the whole thing about democracy. In a kingdom of course a king rules over the whole lot. That's what makes it so different to a democracy. In a democracy the authority rests with the people; in a kingdom it rests with the king. The king has got total charge, can't argue with him. He's in charge - disagree, throw you in jail. God never works like that unless you disagree with Him over the area of unforgiveness, and you'll find interestingly enough He says He'll deliver you over to the tormenters. How about that? Think about it. Just think about it. You'll start to see scripture in a totally different light when you start to understand the kingdom. He's a king. He is a king.
Okay then, so [source of authority is the 00.32.34] people and the authority's limited by the law. In other words there are certain laws that the government can't do anything outside the law. Hence we've had in the last few years all these scandals where government representatives who are elected broke the law; therefore they had to be called to account you see, because they just can't do what they want. If they did what they want [it would 00.32.52] become a dictatorship, see? And so they're delegated authority to represent the law. Now here's the thing. In a democracy the source of authority's the people, but in a kingdom the source of authority's the king. The king's in charge. He does what he wants. In a democracy the authority's limited by the law, but in a kingdom it's unlimited. He does what he wants. He's got the power to do it. He owns it all and he can enforce it - so Gods power is unlimited.
That's why Jesus all authority in heaven and earth is given to Me. I've got it all! I've got all authority! Who's got all the authority? Jesus has got all the authority. Does it look like it? No, it doesn't look like it. Don't be deceived, He's still got all the authority. He's still got all the authority. You see in a democracy a delegated authority represents the law, so when you see a policeman he's there to represent the law. So if they come and break into your house they break in in the name of the law. See, but in a kingdom the delegated representative represents the king, see? So are you a delegated - see you've got to realise now that you are delegated on the earth to represent the king. How do you represent the king? Well in the name of Jesus! It's not a little prayer you add on you know. It's actually about a position; you're representing someone coming on His behalf to enforce the kingdom lifestyle in the earth. So when you come and cast out a demon only one way to get him out. [Unclear 00.34.12] the name of Jesus and the power of the Holy Ghost!
