Therefore, submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lords sake, whether to king as supreme, or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evil doers and for the praise of those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men-as free yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bond servants of God. Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king. COMMENTARY: Now you often hear of a new world order as being something terrible. And you have been instructed and spoken to about resisting it. The scripture gives no weight to these things and in fact instructs you to submit yourselves to the governing authority. The governing authority is put in place to keep you from doing evil which is to say live in chaos. It is written of those who take governance upon themselves, THEY ARE MINISTERS OF GOD PUT IN PLACE TO KEEP YOUR FROM DOING EVIL. And regardless of the nation or religious belief all men make an oath to God and in fact identify themselves by taking an oath when they say, SO HELP ME GOD. So when you hear of the blind who lead the blind speak badly about the government, do not listen to them for the scripture informs you, do not speak badly about the king lest a little bird might hear you and tell him. The king does what he wants and has not been given the sword for no reason. And he also is accountable to God and must justify what he or she does. The blind preacher who has not been given sight of the things and purpose of God will speak to move people to gain their rights etc...This is not the purpose of the man of God. Even if you are oppressed by the government as many are, the purpose of God is consistent with the will of God and the will of God is that all men be conformed to the image of His son so that none may perish and know eternal life through faith which is the evidence and substance of God that you may be fully assured and having come to the truth share it with other who are seeking it. Not all have faith and whatsoever is not said or done in faith is sin. No man of God seeks the things of the world except by the work of his hands. The man of God encourages, strengthens, edifies and instructs in the time of enduring the judgments of God in the seasons of God that you, in the fullness of time required of a man to have the knowledge of his mind renewed, that he may be transformed into the image of a son of God having the fruits and gifts which God gives to a man that he may be a fisher of men. The man who sets your mind on the things of the world speaks about the cares and worries of the world for that is what is in his heart for the scripture informs us, a man speaks from the overabundance of his heart. This man has not entered the kingdom of heaven and will prevent you from doing so. It is the promise of God that you will no longer fear authority for you will have done nothing wrong. The man of God lives in the world while reasoning in the knowledge of heave. He doe snot judge the world nor anyone in the world but when he does judge he judges by attaining to righteousness not the world. There is a difference.
