MS: Order and Authority set by the Holy Spirit

Scripture Reference: 2 Chronicles 26:16 KJV (But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense).


According to 2 Chronicles 26:16-18, King Uzziah judged by God because he did not follow order and respected authority. The Holy Spirit set temple order and authority of priests to serve God and minister in the house not kings or prophets. But King Uzziah left his office of a king and his palace to go to the temple to do things he was not ordained and appointed by God to do. When King Uzziah did so, The Holy Spirit allowed the judgement of God upon him and he was cursed with leprosy.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of order and authority. The Holy Spirit speaks and works through order and authority. If we are going to be successful we must follow order and respect authority set by the Holy Spirit. We must follow church order and respect pastoral authority (1 Thessalonians 5:12-13). The children of Aaron died because they did not follow order and respected authority. These two children brought a strange fire in the altar of God and God was not pleased, God judged them and they died at the presence of God (Leviticus 10:1-2).
