Last week we started with 6 keys to finding freedom and got as far as key 3.
They were...
1 - Understand the purpose of the law.
There is only one way to heaven; to be “found in Christ.”
Jesus plus nothing!
2 - WALK IN THE LIGHT
Sin is progressive; it first blinds, then binds, then damns, then destroys.
The sooner you stop sin in the process, the easier it is to get free.
We repent once when we turn from a sin habit in our lives; but before we repent, we must confess.
Once we find freedom through repentance, we continue to confess to stay free.
3 - BE AWARE OF DARKNESS
And we learned the generational effects of sin in a family lineage.
4 - WALK IN AUTHORITY
You will walk in divine authority to extent you are willing to submit to delegated authority.

There are three basic categories of Kingdom authority, and none contradict the other:
Direct: The known will of God for your life: That which you know God has spoken regarding His call on your life.
Indirect: The Bible — The written will of God as it applies to His plan for all mankind.
(submission, tithing, prayer, repentance, etc.)
Delegated: Five Fold Ministry and their designated personnel within the local church where God has called you to submit your life for the equipping of your calling.
Submission to Authority is the Foundation of all Lasting Works:
“So why do you call me ‘Lord,’ when you won’t obey me? [47] I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then obeys me.
[48] It is like a person who builds a house on a strong foundation laid upon the underlying rock.
When the floodwaters rise and break against the house, it stands firm because it is well built.
[49] But anyone who listens and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house without a foundation.
When the floods sweep down against that house, it will crumble into a heap of ruins.”
Luke 6:46-49 (NLT,)
Submission to Authority is the True Benchmark of Faith
[8] Then the officer said, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come into my home.
Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed!
[9] I know, because I am under the authority of my superior officers and I have authority over my soldiers.
I only need to say, ‘Go,’ and they go, or ‘Come,’ and they come.
And if I say to my slaves, ‘Do this or that,’ they do it.”
[10] When Jesus heard this, he was amazed.
Turning to the crowd, he said, “I tell you the truth, I haven’t seen faith like this in all the land of Israel!”
Submission to Authority is Essential to Defeating the Devil
Submit yourselves therefore to God.
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
James 4.7 (KJV)
Submission vs. Surrender – The Importance of Understanding Authority
Before we talk about hot button topics like “submission”, it’s important to have a clear understanding of the importance of authority.
Authority is at the heart of free will, without it, there could in fact be no free will.
We are divinely endowed with sufficient authority to be unique individuals.
While our DNA may be hardwired to produce some predictable events, our souls are a much more volatile commodity.
