I’m rereading The Believer’s Authority by Andrew Wommack. The book is subtitled “What you didn’t learn in church.” And that’s a pretty accurate description.
At least it is in my case, anyway.
Upsetting People
This book upsets some folks. I suspect it is because people see what Wommack puts forth as somehow diminishing God. But that’s not what he’s doing at all.
Then there are the folks who take one of the things he says in the book out of context and separate the statement from what he means when he says it.
Misunderstanding Authority
I think the problem is that far too many people, especially many Christians, don’t really understand authority. In particular they miss the boat on delegation of authority and how that really works.
Often this problems starts with the leadership of the church, the pastor, preacher, priest, whatever. Far too many are controlling and afraid to delegate authority and empower other leaders in their congregations to lead.
And when the leadership doesn’t model delegation of authority is it any wonder that those who follow that leadership don’t get it?
Even though you can delegate your authority you still retain your accountability.
