The saga of "The Secret of GOD", taken from Romans 13, the renewed mind and our victory as foretold.

By all rights this chapter should have continued as part of the end of chapter 12, as a true Saint follows and abides by the laws of the nation within which they fined themselves living.


Romans 13:1-7 " 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. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 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: 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. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour." (KJV)

Romans 13:1-7 "Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience. For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing. Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed." (ESV)

Romans 13:1-7 "Submit to the authorities with your whole heart. Any authority only has its relevance in GOD. GOD is a GOD of order. To rebel against a GOD ordained structure of authority is a criminal offense. Rulers are there to encourage good behavior and frighten off any evil intention. They represent GOD's desire to protect you and to do you good. The sword they carry is not for decoration; they know how to use it against evil. Do not let fear of punishment be your motivation, rather embrace a good conscience. The taxes you pay is to show the government that you support what they represent on GOD's behalf. Fulfill all your obligations to the government, whatever the tax is that they require of you. Give them their due honor and respect." (The Mirror)
