Adrian Rogers: The Authority of the Holy Spirit (1950)

Adrian Rogers: The Authority of the Holy Spirit (1950)
Scripture Passage: Romans 5:1-5,17
Any Christian who has not discovered the tremendous power of kingdom authority is living beneath his privileges.
However, Adrian Rogers says, “God will never place you over those things that He means to put under you, until you get under those things that He has put over you.”
Many of us fail to think of the Holy Spirit as a person with authority, yet the Holy Spirit has authority to rule and reign in our lives. In fact, kingdom authority is mediated by the Holy Spirit.
Romans 5 reveals why we should be under the authority of the Holy Spirit.
“Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” (Romans 5:1-2).
Adam was the first man created by God, and was given dominion over the Earth. But Adam sinned, he forfeited his dominion to sin. And because we are his offspring, we are identified with Adam in this slavery to Satan. Through Adam, we received weakness rather than power and gained ungodliness rather than godliness. We also received wrath rather than approval, warfare instead of peace. We inherited our sinfulness from Adam: not only when we do as we shouldn’t, but also in failing to do as we should.
But Romans 5 also reveals what we receive through Jesus when we join the kingdom of light:
“Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us” (Romans 5:5). “For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:17).
When we submit to the authority of the Holy Spirit, we receive justification of our sins and reconciliation with the Father. Through the Holy Spirit, we have the fellowship with God that was severed when Adam sinned. We’ve also been regenerated and made righteous to reign through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Apply it to your life
Each one of us is either with Adam in the kingdom of death, or we are with Christ reigning in the kingdom of life. Choose Jesus today; choose kingdom authority through the Holy Spirit.

I'm devouring these sermons! Thank you for posting them! Could someone please explain *"MANY"* . There's confusion about "MANY" and ALL. Romans 3:23 says ALL have sinned. Thanks in advance.

[@paulmuhle5840]

I asked for in my search, the social power dynamics and Jesus' message of a powerless kingdom, and this is what I got. Kingdom authority is a grifters message opposed to what Jesus' actual teaching was about.
