A Closer Look at Authority investigates and identifies God's true purpose, responsibly and qualifying characteristics for authority in the Church. As well as Satan's abuse and misuse of God's authority by false preachers that separate people from God, enslaving people to follow false teachings, selfish ambitions and traditions of men. This study includes every Greek word authority is translated from; Seven in the KJV, twelve in the NKJV, and lists all the English words they are translated too in every verse in the Bible along with their definitions. What is most shocking! The Greek word most often translated to authority happens to be the Greek word second most often translated to power. This very same Greek word in scripture defines the power and authority of God, Jesus Christ, disciples, believers, as well as, the power of Satan, the devil, the Beast and the kingdom of darkness.
