Illegitimate Authority

Manipulation is sin. That is the greatest message I have for this city today. It is the sin of witchcraft. Manipulation is useful for domination, and intimidation, to get ones way. But manipulation is not God's way.

Manipulation, Domination, and Intimidation, are all the use of illegitimate authority. Anyone who needs to use lies to keep their job are not only liars, they use the power called, "witchcraft".

In Paul's epistle to the Galatians's there is in Chapter 3, a statement about that church being bewitched. The effect of the bewitchment was to obscure the finished work of Christ on Calvary. The result was that the Galatian Brethren had begun to trust their works.

Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith. Our obedience to Him is the greatest worship we can offer. To stay focused on Jesus is a quest few of us master.
