Just some personal, non-exhaustive notes I made on John Bevere’s Undercover series. I’ve reached lesson 8 so far. I hope that they will help you, as you study. Under Cover has ratings and 90 reviews. Karen said: Are you Undercover, by John Bevere is a must read for anyone ready for the next level. It is full of. It’s humbling to realize that our opinion about elected or appointed leaders in our communities, counties, state, and country should have.

Several years ago I was interviewed on a live radio talk program of a popular Christian station in a large city in the South. We were bevsre one of my books.
Ten minutes into the radio interview the announcer took a break. During that time, I heard several commercials and announcements at a lower volume level since I was not johb on air during the break.
All of a sudden, my attention was gripped as I heard a man reporting the national weather. My thoughts wandered, Is this a Christian station? Then I thought, If bevre is a Christian station, maybe this weather forecast was piped in from an Associated Press source. Back on air he asked a vague question to which I responded by saying how important it was to have the heart of God in all we do. Do not speak evil about the ruler of your people.
I hung up heartbroken. Was this honoring, revering, or venerating the governor?
I can admit, this man he mentioned has not always conducted himself in a way deserving of respect, but he holds the office of governor. As Christians, we are to honor bbevere position of authority.
How many believers were affected by the irreverent humor? This is a far cry from the behavior of the early persecuted church. When we behave and speak in this manner, we add to the power of lawlessness at work today.
Yet the Bible tells us. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. This behavior wars against the restraining power of the Holy Spirit. It is the principle of Satan! They have met with and been consumed by His far-reaching authority.
They esteem what He esteems and hate what He hates. Firmly implanted within their lives are reverential fear undercoveg respect for all in leadership because God has delegated His authority. His delight is in the fear of the Lord. And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyesNor decide by the hearing of His ears.
It enabled Him not to judge by natural sight or hearing. That radio host showed by his fruit he was not acquainted with the fear of Lord as it pertained to delegated authorities. John the Baptist dealt with the behavior of one in authority named Herod, yet his approach was much different from that of the interviewer.
He spoke directly to a sin, not about him disrespectfully. Second, he dealt with Herod from his position of authority as a prophet of God. The only godly person you will find in the Bible making jokes about men who held a position of leadership is Gevere 1 Kings He undercoger the false prophets of Baal and Asherah, and the gods they represented.
Those men, who did not possess true authority, but counterfeit, led many Israelites into darkness. Their positions were not ordained by God. They were not worthy of honor or submission. People who lead occult organizations are not to be submitted to or obeyed. To return to true appointed authority, it is difficult to honor and obey when we do not see authority through eyes enlightened by the fear of the Lord. Yet hear what Scriptures say. He [God] is especially hard on those who follow their own evil, lustful desires and who despise authority.
These people are proud and arrogant, daring even to scoff at the bevwre ones without so much as trembling. What is really sobering is that Peter and Jude were talking about those in church settings Jude 12; 2 Peter 2: That is why we are commanded to be renewed in the spirit of our minds Ephesians 4: For rulers are not to be feared by those who do good, but by those who do evil.
Would uncercover like to be unafraid of those undercoevr authority? But if you do evil, then be afraid of them, because their power to punish is real. That is also why you pay taxes, because the authorities are working for God when they fulfil their duties.
Pay, then, what you owe them; pay them your personal and property taxes, and show respect and honour for them all. I was weight training in our local gym and got into a conversation with a man and woman who were in great physical shape.
After talking for ten minutes I found out they were members of the Colorado Springs police force. I affirmed his question by showing him the preceding verses. It had been a profound revelation to him.
John Bevere – Undercover Notes
I find this honor burning in my heart every time I see a policeman, fireman, mayor, councilman, governor, state legislator, judge, congressman, or some other person in a branch of government. I find respect welling up within me when I go to city, state, or federal offices. I want to show my respect for the position God bevege granted them. The police are not working for the devil; rather, they are working for God! You should instead be praying for mercy!
Please forgive me for my offense. I thought at beere point he was going to take the ticket back, although that was not my intent. I have a friend who pastors in the state where the governor was dishonored by the radio station host. He was in prayer for his city, asking God how to really make a difference. At the time his church consisted of a small body of beevre. God put it in his heart to honor the civil authorities of his city. After further prayer, he knew what to do. He and his leaders investigated undercovef greatest needs of the city.
That was a lot of money for a church their size. The pastor shared the vision with his people, and in one offering they raised every bit of what was needed. He bevre the leaders of his church presented the check to the city. They could not believe a church would perform such an act of kindness. They were used to people griping about the needs of government, not giving freely toward them.
Since then the church has exploded in growth. When the congregation dedicated a new building, many city officials attended, and some still attend. They claim it is their constitutional right. Who is paying for the policemen, firemen, and lawmakers johh protect you?
When are we believers going to udercover in this truth? If the body of Christ would lay hold of this, we would be a greater witness to our unercover and the world. We must learn to honor — to revere, respect; to treat with deference and submission, and perform relative duties to — those who are in authority. In doing so we honor our heavenly Father. How we speak about people in government and authority shows our honor for God! Come share your thoughts with us on our blog.

We want to hear from you! A Heartbreaking Interview Several years ago I was interviewed on a live radio talk program of a popular Christian station in a large city in the South. The apostle Paul said, Do not speak evil about the ruler of your people. Yet the Bible tells us, For the mystery of yndercover is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.

A lack of the Spirit of the fear of the Lord is evident when we do not revere authority. His delight is in the fear of the Lord, And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyesNor decide by the hearing of His ears. To slander governmental authority is never an act of godliness.

Yet hear what Scriptures say, He [God] is especially hard on those who follow their own evil, lustful desires and who despise authority. Paul exhorted us, For rulers are not to be feared by those who do good, underxover by those who do evil. When we honor the king, we show our fear of the Lord.
