國度權柄的原則
1 - True kingdom authority (on earth) cannot be taken but only received by
one submitted under the authority of God
真正的國度權柄（在地上）是不能被奪取的 而只被順服神權柄的人接受
- The Gk. word authority (εξουσία ) lit. means “out of being” and is an
anointing of life from above coming through one under God’s Throne
希臘文權柄（εξουσία）字意「從存在中出來」 是來自天上的生命恩膏 透過
神寶座下的人而來
- The legitimacy of delegated human authority will be judged by whether there
was previous submission to divine authority
合法委任的人類權柄 將取決於那人先前是否順服於神的權柄

from earthly grounds to higher Heavenly Principles
