Welcome!

Isn't it true that all of us are "Walking It Out" day by day with the Lord? We are in this journey together—perhaps in different stages and circumstances, but certainly not alone. Let us help each other by lifting one another up and being encouraged to continue on this marvelous journey. In the end, this journey will lead us to the face of God.

"Walking It Out" is a Sunday school class offered at Praise Assembly in Springfield, Missouri, and taught by Doug and Nancy Thomas. We are glad you came to visit us here at this site and hope that you find something helpful in your own faith as you are "Walking It Out."

Kingdom Administration

The concept of submission goes hand-in-hand with the idea of authority. Authority and its power flow from one lawful authority to the next. There is a hierarchy when it comes to the administration of authority.

So it is in the kingdoms of darkness and of light. Spiritual authority flows from the being with highest authority and is delegated to lower beings. Scripture refers to the "dominion" of darkness. A "dominion" denotes a chain of command. While we live on this earth, we are living in the dominion of the prince of darkness. Satan is the legal ruler of this dark kingdom.

However, Jesus broke Satan's lawful hold on us, and He did so in a "legal" fashion. We have been set free from the dominion of darkness. We are now part of God's hierarchy and are in training to rule and reign in the kingdom to come.
