Except it was given you from above(?)

Brett:
Hi again ;D,

I am wondering when Jesus said (John 19:10-11), "You could have no power at all against me except it was given you from above..." is from GOD or is from god of this world?

Because I know GOD is above, but also Satan above, see verse:

Eph. 6:12
"...powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places."

"Heavenly places" is also above, too?

I need to make sure I understand correct. I do not like understand wrong :P.

Hope you can help :).

Thanks,
Brett :D

Hi Brett,

Is that a trick question??  I'm just kidding.  Remember, ALL IS OF GOD.  Even Satan is subject to the Father.

Peace to you dear brother,

Brett,

I believe these scriptures will help you to see that ultimately all power come from God, The Father, above.

Act 2:22  Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
Act 2:23  Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
Act 2:24  Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

Act 4:26  The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
Act 4:27  For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,
Act 4:28  For to do whatsoever thy [God's] hand and thy [God's] counsel determined before to be done.

And of course...

Eph 1:11  In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him (God) who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

Hope this helps.

God's Peace.
Josh

Lisa,

I know you kidding me. It is my concerning question. Yes, I remember God is of all  :). Maybe my question is not clear enough. It just I see the scriptures like Satan and God are from above. If that is correct, I do not have problem with that. I'm just too hungry to understand the deep things ;). Thank you.


Josh, you did well quotes. I have seen this before, but still I need to re-read ;D. Thanks!

Brett

Dear Brett,

Sometimes, I just see things in the simplest form, because God is in control.  CDJ said when we realize this, that is when our "burden becomes light".  I don't know all the "deep things" and that sits well with me.  As far as all being from of above, that may be, but some BELONG to THIS world and others BELONG to the LORD, while in this world. 

John 3:31  He that cometh from above is above all:  he that is of the earth, is earthy, and speaketh of the earth:  he that cometh from heaven, is ABOVE ALL.

John 8:23  And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

1 John 4:4  Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

This to me says carnel man (Moses commands) is earthy but spritual man (Jesus commands) is heavenly.

Peace, Lisa
