A study of the Holy Scriptures shows that God placed man to serve and govern what happens on earth. Read Genesis 1:28. Matthew 16:15–19. 18:18–20. 28:18–20. Luke 9:1. 10:19. John 16:13. Romans 13:1. 2 Corinthians 10:3–5, Ephesians 6:10–17. 1 John 5:4–5. 4:4. It is the Lord Himself who has given us the mandate. It applies to all people, and especially to us who believe in Him.
The indolant, downcast and helpless attitude that many claim is «humility» is simply the complete opposite of the Lord’s mandate.
The Catholic Church has understood this throughout history as it has taken its position throughout the world. I myself learn a lot from contemporary Catholic leaders in many countries.
In the last 25 years, charismatic revival Christianity has also realized this in country after country, led by God-given apostles and prophets. That is why many are so afraid of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). But it is here to stay, not least in Norway.
It is the Lord who has arranged it this way, ever since Creation.
