SUB- STANDING

The Apostle that taught and wrote that all soul be subject to higher powers (authorities) and should not resist/wrestle them because they are ordained by God, and Rulers are not meant to be terror against goodworks but to be terrors against evil — even that same Apostle later taught and wrote that we wrestle (resist) against the principalities, against powers, against rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. In “Romans 13:1-4,” he described the rulers as terrors to evil, and he taught submission to those rulers without resisting (wrestling) those rulers. But in “Ephesians 6:12-14” he described the rulers as rulers of darkness of this world-spiritual wickedness in high places and he taught wrestling (resisting) in opposition against those rulers. What happened to “They were ordained by God?”

The first speaks of putting on Humility, while the second speaks of putting on the whole armor of God. Putting on Humility will enable you to be subject to higher powers, but also putting on the whole armor of God will enable you stand and wrestle them in Humility, less you fall. It's not just putting on one of these, but putting on both of these are required, especially putting the whole armor of God within as underwears, and then cover or camouflage them with the mantle of Humility. — For not every time or everyday you find rulers as terrors to evil, but sometimes they are rulers of darkness favoring evil and wickedness — notwithstanding whether God ordained them or not.

No contradiction in both — but do not let your subjection/submission to higher powers remove or undermine your Standing in righteousness and truth in the evil days. The point is — You can be subject while you are still standing: — let no one fool you into believing that unless you fall down you cannot greet a ruler/king, unless you kneel down you cannot propose to a woman, or unless you bow down you cannot do goodworks. You can do all these things while still standing. — Keep this secret as treasure in your heart — As the saints of the Most High in this world or in any warfare/battle, “Your spiritual Standing in more important than your spiritual bowing, falling or submission.” Do all to stand, and if you can, do all things with your spirit man (inner man) standing even if your flesh is weak, fallen or down:” — Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, kept their standing above keeping their submission to higher rulers ordained by God, even in the face of burning fire of furnace. They stood up and walked
