Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
Due to the Ponders of "FOR THIS" in Verse 9 ... HERE it is...and It Changed the WORLD For the BEST to HAVE LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY...as John 10 says He is the DOOR...JESUS CHRIST!!!
Romans 13:2-8
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
This is a confirmation from which Deuteronomy 32:39, GOD Shares HIS KINGDOM to the Greatest climax...because He is A GOD!!!!
SEE NOW that I, even I, AM HE, and there is no god with me: I KILL, and I MAKE ALIVE; I WOUND, and I HEAL: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
See the Old and the New Testament is the SAME GOD...Jesus Christ was Almighty God Robed in flesh...the revelation is given when you personally seek it...There is NO OTHER NAME THAT CAN SAVE Acts 4:12
Romans 13:9-14
9 FOR THIS, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
*(Verses 2-8 of 13 Explain "FOR THIS" The Holy Power Given as You climb higher in the Lord in as doing excellent good works and fighting off evil to do this and strive in all ways of dedication to and for His will in your life...they will just come to you and this was given on the Day of Pentecost Acts 2:38)
ACTS 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, REPENT, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 1:7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
To come full circle and place all darkness of this world in perfection for God is Perfect and He loves to reveal His deep things to those that are of the deep...and show them the flesh and atop darkness wars against the greatest power...overcoming through Jesus Christ because He did it so we could live and strive for the highest...life through His Name...for HE IS the SON of the LIGHT... JOHN 10:4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
I had to share this because Romans 13:1 was the verse of the day and I read the rest but it didn't click until now...this day ...and it just works...Like a beautiful encouragement ...
