Authority is divine power. Pastor Bankie teaches that true authority flows from being under a higher authority (Matt 8:9; John 10:17-18 NASB): submission to Christ and obedience restore dominion, make our words effective, and reestablish godly order in home and life (Heb 5:8-9 NASB; Ps 82:5-7; Gen 3:19; 1 Sam 2:30; Is 48:18 GNB).
