(420) Do you understand the difference in Power & Authority? - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khyYfiJQ4AA Transcript: (00:01) do you ever remember as a child wishing that you could be royal maybe you would spend your time in daydreaming about being a prince of a great Kingdom and having the benefits and the lifestyle of royalty I just believe with all my heart that that is perhaps a natural desire placed there by God himself because indeed that is his desire for you royalty his desire is for you to be a prince in a Royal Kingdom I want to explain the story to you today God Yahweh is looking for someone with that desire to be royal I want to read you a chapter out (00:58) of my book called The Dream Team and that t that chapter is entitled true Authority and I'd like to just share with you what I wrote down many years ago concerning Authority and royalty would you like to rule as a king in God's future government that's a question that you need to ponder would you like to see that dream come to pass of being part of a royal family family then I have great news for you God Yahweh is accepting applications for those spiritually conceived members of his Royal House often times called the church or more (01:49) perfectly the eklesia his greatest gift to you will be the authority that he grants you in his government he will trust you with with the souls of all mankind in the coming Kingdom age how will he determine your position in his coming Kingdom now there's a question that deserves to be pondered how will your position be determined in that government this government will be made up of resurrected sons of Yahweh and each one will be given either a 30 Realm rulership or a 60 or a h hundredfold ruler rulership responsibility and Authority if you've (02:37) not watched my lesson on the 360 hundredfold Believers I strongly encourage you to do so so that this teaching will make sense to you but your responsibility in the coming government of God upon the Earth is great into your care will be trusted all of creation from one end of our our globe to the other you will be given Authority this is the greatest gift that God Yahweh will ever give to you is his true and legitimate Authority the reason and the way that he will determine your position 30 60 or 100 fold is simply this right now at (03:27) this point in your Earthly life life he's watching absolutely he's watching you in this life every day the scripture says that the eyes of the Lord or Yahweh which is really the angels of the Lord that's a euphemism in Hebrew speaking of the Angels when you see the eyes of the Lord it is the angels of the Lord the Bible says that they watch us they go to and fro upon the Earth and they're always watching over and camping around those that belong to Yahweh they are watching your maturity from Rebellion to obedience and your levels of love for (04:17) Yahweh by the way that you keep his law and his commandment it is because of what you do in this life that you will be granted King Kingdom Authority sadly the whole church believes that the purpose of this life is to go to heaven just a quick perusal of the scriptures and a study of your Bible will prove to you that that is not the goal the goal is ruling and reigning in this government that I'm teaching you about this evening do you remember a story in the book of Acts chapter 19 about the seven sons of SAA if you don't go read that story (05:02) you'll find it in verse 11 through verse 20 of Acts chapter 19 a curious thing happened to this group of Believers um in this chapter 19 of the book of Acts this was a group of people who wanted the benefits of Christ's Kingdom without the law of his kingdom sadly this is the testimony of a vast majority of yah's church today they desire the uh the Mana they desire the Miracles they desire the power that comes from the access to his Spirit but yet they do not desire the requirements of obedience these sons of sha they (05:53) approached a demon in the book of Acts and they tried to cast him out in the name of Jesus or more perfectly the name of Yeshua which was his original Hebrew name that's what his mama called him that's what the angel called him and that's what we like to call him his original name nevertheless they approached the demon and they tried to cast him out in that name as a matter of fact they use the exact same words and incantations that the apostles used but their prayers did not work why not because unlike the apostles they had no (06:35) genuine Authority granted to them through obedience power without Authority is Witchcraft and yahweh's church is full of praying witches warning the power of Prophecy warning the power of speaking and glossia or unknown tongues wanting the power of casting out Devils it it's a man pleasing fleshly desire they want power to heal the sick power to display their greatness but brothers and sisters there is illegitimate power and there is legitimate power only when power is attached to Authority will it yield great and Power (07:30) positive results for the Christian believer now this type of authority that I'm teaching you about tonight only comes one way through your death and his life it's only when you choose to die while you're living that you will live while you're dying and this is something I've had to learn you will have to learn it in your walk with God they had no Authority let me ask you this how is Authority granted at your job the place where you work are you the boss or are you a subordinate are you the owner or an employee here is the natural progression (08:18) to management in our car lot where we H are there's there's a progression for advancement you come in at an entry level and I'll read it from my book and if you've not ordered the book I encourage you to get it in your hands and let this truth sink into your spirit by your the way that Authority is granted on your job is by one thing the level of trust that you have earned that is so true the level of your obedience to company policy and to those in authority over you and management only with the blessing of administration will you ever be granted (09:05) authority to go up a little higher the policeman I'm amazed when I see a policeman out of his uniform and without his badge um he he wields no power but the minute he puts on a uniform and puts on a badge all of a sudden a powerless man becomes powerful enough to stop a 10,000 pound vehicle an 18-wheeler in their tracks by simply lifting his hand at a traffic stop let me read to you the policeman that has the power to stop a vehicle has no power at all over that vehicle without true Authority however as the policeman spent (09:54) his time at the Academy and as he worked under all his leaders in obedience to them he is then granted Authority by the government as he abides by the law of the government and as he in fact submits to that government then all of the Power of government is at his disposal you see you access the power of God when you submit to the will of God when he lifts his hands the police man to the oncoming vehicle with that true Authority comes his power you see brothers and sisters you cannot sneak into God's kingdom and expect to walk in (10:44) the power of heaven true authority over demons only come when you have overcome demons in your own life the only way you will rule the galaxies is once you've ruled yourself the only way that you will control and reign with Yahweh is if you have controlled yourself in this lifetime then and only then will your uplifted hand and your spoken word be a threat to demon power that's why some people can preach all day long they never face a battle they never face torment they're not walking in Authority they're no threat to demon (11:32) powers they're no threat to paganism they're no threat to Witchcraft they're no threat to the enemies of Yahweh why because they do not walk in obedience to what they preach if you don't have this true Authority you are like an illegal alien in a foreign country if you are illegal you get none of the business benefits of the Kingdom if you are illegal then you are in fact breaking the laws of the government and therefore you cannot expect any of the benefits of the government for those who wish to sneak into God's kingdom illegally without the (12:19) covering of Grace that comes through obedience to his command then in fact you have no true Authority whatsoever a Authority is earned as obedience is practiced Authority typically comes in incremental advancements most workers do not start out with any real Authority they do not have the authority to speak to their co-workers and expect a response entrylevel positions carry No Authority when you first come to the Altar and give your life to him when you first repent and are baptized you are not yet walking in true Authority and true (13:11) power Therefore your character must be tested your old nature must submit to the nature of Yahweh in order to earn the true authority of the Kingdom have you ever seen some of the elders in God's church and how they walk in such faith and such Authority they're submitted their prayer life is submitted they are in submission that's where Authority comes Yeshua tells a parable about a wedding supper in Matthew 22 and this supper it represents his soon to come wedding with his bride but there was a person who tried (13:54) to enter into that wedding without a wedding garment this person evident believed that God's way was not the only way this person felt that they could enter the kingdom without obedience to God's law after all why would a silly garment be important to Yahweh why does it matter if I have on a certain garment because God said so it really is that simple if you want to rule in this Kingdom that's coming you must come in at the door you must come into God's provided way you cannot do it in your way any longer it is time for you to (14:41) totally surrender to his will everyone of you that's watching me that has been called elected and predestined in this age the church age they alone you alone are being prepared for positions of trust that they will earn you will earn during this lifetime you will not earn that trust in the next lifetime you are earning it now you see Yahweh our heavenly father desires above all other things to share his throne oh yes first with his first first begotten son Yeshua hamashiach Jesus Christ as he's known mistakenly by many that's (15:38) what he Lo he he told him I will give you to sit in my throne but it doesn't stop with him then it's to all the brothers of Christ Yeshua the the he's the elder brother we're the other brothers he desires to share that throne with you think about that the god of majesty the creator of the curtain of time is desirous to place you in his royal family from a poer to a prince he desires to transform you from an animal to be in the Royal government what a desire he has for you he wants you to become a fully vested member of his family (16:31) he desires to place the badge of Heaven's Holiness upon your soul in his coming Kingdom he must have people who have been prepared in the furnace of Affliction tried in the Torrance of time and pressed in the Realms of resistance please understand that in the Church of the Living God there are two groups of people there are two seed lines there are two Vines growing together there are two twins living in the same house namely the church carnal and the church spiritual the soldout church and the lethargic Church the (17:26) Overcomers and the underc s the wise church and the foolish church both groups of people this is what deceives so many both groups of people are indeed quote unquote saved if you believe in that word I'll deal with that in another lesson they have placed their faith in Christ the one that died on the cross they've accepted him as their savior maybe not their lord but their savior they believe in him completely they go to church eight days a week and sometimes on Sunday and once in a great while on the Sabbath but that their faith is in him (18:13) so therefore they're not Sinners they're not Wicked but they are part of one of these two twins sucking off the same breast and living in the same house but there is only one group in these two only one that have made themselves ready there is another group of people the church carnal who will be made ready they're not making themselves ready by the washing of the word but they will be made ready through a period of judgment oh The Wonder of it I I'll teach very soon on the the fire judgments that that church must go (19:02) through in the tribulation and in the coming wrath of God upon the Earth John saw a group of believers who were made white by tribulation they did not make themselves white in the church age which is this age they did not submit to the word of God and they did not purify themselves by obeying the the scriptures by keeping the Sabbath by obeying the Commandments rather they had to be made white they had to be made pure by the fiery Trials of God that are to come upon the sleeping church now before I go any further we've written several books (19:52) and booklets and I want to show you when I was speaking about the fiery trials one of our books this is one of our books that we've written I don't know if you can see it but it's called the sin unto death now this booklet is very small but it's huge you need to get it it explains the three stages of God's Divine discipline if you don't have this book you'll never understand the sin unto death I encourage you to get it today we don't charge anything for the work of God if you want this literature in your home just respond to this video If you (20:34) see it on YouTube you can email me at brother Von gmail.com or if you see it on Facebook just send me an inbox and I'll get that right in the mail to you we want you to understand these things but the reason I showed you that it explains what we're teaching about right now the fiery Trials of God that are not coming up on the bride now the trials of the Antichrist will come upon the bride Revelations 12 whenever Satan goes to make war with the remnant of her seed but the wrath of God the last three and a half years of (21:17) tribulate will not fall upon her but it will fall upon this other group of Believers the foolish virgins pray therefore that you will be watching and waiting that you prepare your own garments so that you might be counted worthy of Kingdom Authority we're almost through with this page when exactly and this is something I want to really talk about did yua receive his full Authority now brothers and sisters when did Yeshua announce that all authority in Heaven and Earth has been given unto me by my father did this occur while he was still (22:12) in the furnace of Affliction did this occur in the Garden of Gethsemane did this occur on the Mount of Temptation did this occur on the way to the Cross did this occur at the resurrection did this happen while he was in a testing period called life did he receive full Authority one second before he had proven his absolute obedience even to death and his absolute Fidelity to the word of God in fact he did not receive full Authority until after his crucifixion until after his Earthly life until after he had proven for the (23:10) records of Eternity that he was fully submitted and that he had the very Heart character and nature of Yahweh his father in the exact same manner when he came back as the wave sheath offering being waved before the father on the uh on the eighth day when he came back after that time he said now all now it shouldn't say power it should say Authority that word power should been Authority all this Authority in Heaven and Earth has been given to me I've earned it I came as a son of man with no Divinity except for the (24:03) predestiny that was on my life but he said I came with no Sovereign power I came as the lamb not the lion I came and submitted to my father's will I did it with no Supernatural power power I did it with the same power that you have that power Hallelujah that I received in the river of Jordan when the heavens opened up and the lamb came out of the water and met with the dove you see the dove has the character of God the nature of God so does the lamb the Lamb on Earth had to meet with the dove in heaven both characters would (25:06) line up in the water the Holy Spirit the ruak Kadesh would infill that human frame and the Bible said that when he came up out of the water now he had the infilling the full he had it and it was this spirit that was in him that led him to his first test the Mount of Temptations to be tempted and tried by the devil you brother and sister after you receive the Holy Ghost the evidence of that is when you face that test and there's a supernatural power to say no to every Temptation that death so easily but said Us in the same (26:01) manner that yua Jesus as many know him received the full authority of the father he's your example you are going to receive authority to be that King that we started off talking about to be in that royal family after you have been spiritually conceived by the Holy Spirit just as yua was did you hear hear me conceived in those Waters of baptism there is a conception that takes place in you water baptism is a requirement why because it is the righteous the Fulfillment of the righteousness of God it is the moment (26:46) wherein you are placed into the womb of Mama Church mother church do you believe that that's not in the scriptures go read what the Apostle Paul said when he speaks about the new Jerusalem which is the eklesia the church Israel he said that she is the mother of us all she has a watery womb just like your natural mother did oh yeah and you must be placed there where you meet the presence of the Holy Ghost it is the sacrament of the church and it is in those Waters where the old man dies a new man is conceived (27:30) and you come up in the newness of that life now you're walking in obedience rather than Rebellion see I don't care if you come up speaking in tongues that that that don't impress me or God what what you need to come up with is speaking truth and speaking no to every Temptation speaking to their own demons and ridding your life of them power to obey God we also like Yeshua receive our Authority at our Resurrection when we come up as Spirit bodies when we come forth as the spirit born sons of Yahweh no longer flesh and (28:29) blood but a Divine flesh that has been reconstructed by the power of the Holy Ghost as we stand before his judgment seat for our job interview it is there remember I asked you at the beginning how will he determine our position 30 fold 60 fold or 100 fold it is at that judgment we do not in the first Resurrection if you come up in the first harvest I I wish you people I wish the whole world understood the first harvest I'll try to do another lesson on it but if you don't watch our video on YouTube entitled to Pentecost and Beyond to (29:16) understand this first harvest when you come up in the first harvest it is not to be judged to hell or to Heaven it is to be judged to your position in this coming Kingdom and that judgment will not be by Grace faith it will be of your Works argue with your Bible we're not saved by works but we are judged and appointed by works as a matter of fact Yeshua said in the book of revelation behold I come quickly to give every man according to the works he has done I have another video on works and Faith you can watch if you're confused (29:57) over what I'm teaching now at that point you and I will be granted authority over many people among the nations of the world at this point if we have been faithful in a few things then we shall be made rulers over over many rulers over who that lethargic Church the ones that did not make themselves ready the Bible calls them the nations of the saved they're not Wicked but they're not white they've not washed themselves white as snow they didn't have oil in their lamp which is the Commandments of God they didn't have the desire to keep (30:50) the Commandments which is what the oil is the holy spirit comes to give us that desire to obey sadly it must also be acknowledged that this is the at the very this very same event the Judgment of the Saints many will stand disappointed as silence fills the Judgment Hall 30 minutes of silence in the heavenlies when Millions upon Millions realize that they could have done so much more in preparation for the kingdom of God brother brothers and sisters here at first Harvest Ministries we have one message and it is not what many people (31:36) think it is it is not the Sabbath day although we keep it it's not the law of God although we preach it it's not the holy days although we love them it is not clean and unclean food although we believe in them it is not any of that our message is repent for the kingdom of Yahweh is approaching it's coming children sooner than you think I wrote that message in this book that I hold in my hand it's called The Dream Team it's about 300 pages of nothing but thought provoking truth I would encourage you if you're watching me and you have not ordered (32:29) this book my testimony to you is I promise before all that is Holy I do not even really remember writing this book I remember going through the motions but I do not when I read it I don't even remember the thought patterns of putting that on paper I know that it was a book that was inspired for you to read I'm not a great author and you'll even find probably some misspelled words it's not a per but it is a perfect message I want to give you this book today I don't want to sell it to you now this one is very costly for our ministry it's very costly (33:14) but we give them away and I want to give you one get a hold of me make a comment and I'll get it in the mail to you no cost whatsoever we want to be a blessing to your life before we end this video our website is fir Harvest church.org you're welcome to go there and see what we're all about I'm not a perfect man made many mistakes in my life but several years ago I completely sold out to him and promised that I would preach this coming Kingdom message to the end of the world since then we have published over 20 two (33:58) books as we try to get this message out I need your help to do that we have many booklets here that we've written to answer questions about what we believe and to prepare people from the coming kingdom of God these booklets are given to you at no charge I will send as many as you want if you would like to place them in your town your community in your local jails and hospitals if y would place it on your heart write me and ask tell me if you want a 100 tell me if you want 200 tell me if you want one I'll do what I can as (34:38) long as the money is there for us to mail them to you if you want to make a donation God bless you you can do so at PayPal if you know how to do that uh and I'll be happy to give you the PayPal address but if you don't have any money we don't expect anything quickly the Apostle Paul one of the most Miss understood writers of the New Testament we wrote this booklet entitled presenting Paul you need this book if you don't want to wait for it to come in the mail to you you can download it in PDF free of charge on our website this (35:14) next booklet is called the New Jerusalem I promise you you will never see the New Jerusalem the same again as when the Holy Spirit revealed this to me about the New Jerusalem I encourage you get this in your library rhythms and Rhymes as you know we do believe in keeping the Sabbath day which is the seventh day of the week There's many arguments against why we don't have to do that and there are good arguments one of them is well the calendar has changed so many times how do we know that Saturday is really the seventh day of the week we answer (35:53) that question in this booklet also all of our doctrines and teaching teachings are in this one here which is simply called doctrines and teachings of first Harvest Ministries this one is from Mount Calvary to Mount Zion if you don't have this book in your library you need it trading Santa for the Suka as you know we teach against the pagan holidays but there is a reason we do so I believe if you simply took 20 minutes to read this little booklet you would never see it the same again the real meaning of the word (36:34) Sabbath it'll surprise you get this one and then finally I've written a commentary on most of the New Testament books of the Bible this one is on the book of Colossians it is a wonderful commentary all of these are available on Amazon but there is a charge there but if you want them free you would need to contact me personally God bless you we love each and every one of you pray for our ministry that Yahweh would help us to reach the nations of the world with this message the king is coming repent for that kingdom is at hand marantha (37:15) Yahweh bless you

Summary

Pastor Shane Vaughn teaches that spiritual power and spiritual authority are not the same thing. Power represents the ability to act, while legitimate authority comes through submission to Yahweh, obedience to His commandments, spiritual maturity, and proven faithfulness. Using the seven sons of Sceva in Acts 19, the authority of a police officer, and the example of Yahshua's obedience to the Father, he explains that believers must first learn to govern themselves before they can be entrusted with governing others. The message emphasizes that the purpose of the believer's present life is preparation for rulership in Yahweh's coming Kingdom. According to the teaching, the degree of authority granted at the resurrection will correspond to the believer's demonstrated faithfulness and works.
