When I do not love my work, I cannot do my work with Love.
When I do my work without Love, I have no power. I am not empowered.
When I am not empowered, I will need motivation.
Money is the most common motivator.
Money is a substitute for Love & Power that motivates us to work.
Money does not disempower us. It is our perspective and attitude that disempowers us.
Money neither empowers nor disempowers, it just motivates the disempowered.
We work with authority when we choose to work, and we choose how and when to work.
When our work is chosen by another, we work under their authority.
When we work under the authority of another, we will need their power; their motivation; their money.
When we work under our Soul’s Authority, we have our Soul’s Power.
We are empowered to work with Love.
I have always found what you say here to be true in my own experience (though as a Catholic I would say “under the authority of the Holy Spirit”). I am just at a point in my own life where I have been confronted with the choice of either following a path which will help many people in a material way and will probably be profitable to me in a monetary sense, or on the other hand of following the path which I believe the Holy Spirit is calling me to, which is simply the path of trust without any indication of how it will benefit me or indeed anyone else. Your post has helped me in making the decision. Thank you.
With the “Authority of the Father” & the “Power of the Holy Spirit” we attain the “Ability of the Son”.
Without a clear distinction between our Power and our Authority, we can “forsake the Father” and lose the Ability of the Son of Man.
The ‘Word’ of “God the Father” is our True Authority that connects us to the Power and Oneness of the ‘Whole Spirit’.
Yes, that is an illuminating distinction. Thank you.
