About this ebook

"I have been waiting for the day when someone I know who believes and submits to authority would write a book on Spiritual Authority.

Jefferson Netto has the unique ability to communicate the most complex principle of all, Spiritual Authority, in a very simple way.

I was inspired when I read Full Spiritual Authority. I know that this book will inspire you also to live a life of excellence and fulfill the call of God upon your life.

In these last days God is looking for Christians, men and women, who will submit to His full Spiritual Authority and will be used to open the eyes of many who think submission to authority is another form of slavery.

The enemy submits to Jesus' authority because Jesus submitted to the full authority of His Father. The only time the enemy will submit to the Christ in us is when we come to the full knowledge of Spiritual Authority.

Jefferson Netto has given us sufficient information we need to come to the full knowledge of this important principle.

It is my prayer that every child of God who desires to be used by Him will have the opportunity to read this wonderful book." -Dr. George Gunn

My precious son, Diego Netto, a boy with a heart of man, passionate for God. My pearl daughter Dominik Netto, the most amazing girl that I’ve ever known. My strong mother. She alone drove me to the knowledge of Jesus in my childhood.

    THEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS 

    It has been approximately twenty five years that I have been serving God in ministry and, over this time, I have come to know that there are in fact many things that have remained hidden to our understanding. When we embark upon a serious investigation of a topic as complex as this, I feel profoundly honored to be able to contribute to Pastor Jefferson with the recommendation of such an important subject.

    The present topic, spiritual authority, is receiving a fresh analysis here based upon both research and revelation. We know that classical theology has never boldly covered many pertinent questions concerning the realm of God, such as angels. These things have been hidden for a long time.

    While writing on the topic spiritual authority, Pastor Jefferson Netto does not fail to avail himself to the revelation of the Holy Spirit. He covers this issue systematically but excludes the possibility of being repetitive.

    I would like to say, upon reading this present volume, that I immediately perceived that the form which these ideas and thoughts followed pointed to a road that, without any doubt, will take us to an important place.

    For example, God exists as a Triune Being. But it is important to be clear that there is no hierarchal relationship within the Trinity. The principle of authority only came into existence with the creation of angelic beings in their respective classes. Therefore, with these affirmations, Pastor Jefferson Netto disproves any and all impressions of a possible existence of a hierarchy within the Trinity. Any hierarchical conception can not and does not belong to the essence and existence of God. God simply does not submit.

    In the process of distribution of authority, we need to understand that it just happened because of the existence of the created things and this is very well explained in this book.

    A quick reading of the first three chapters of the book of Genesis will show that the rule over the earth was in the hands of man until it was given over into the hands of Satan as a result of the violation of the principle of authority. It is automatic. It is beyond our control. It is one of the laws that were created to function outside of our regiment. With this, every violation of authority automatically results in the loss of authority itself because there is no violation of authority that is out of the reach of an action of the same principle. Some day the consequences will come.

    In the subject concerning to the ex-Lucifer, I detach the importance of the Hebrew word "Halak" regarding the free movement among the angels. It is used by Pastor Jefferson to explain the risk that leaders run by not knowing their limits in the process of authority. This point of Pastor Jefferson is very convincing.

    Allow me to analyze the moment of Jesus’ crucifixion. As we find Jesus alone on the cross—his disciples weren’t there, only John—we realize that Jesus destroyed completely, among the twelve, the threat of limitless intimacy, one of the worst enemies of the principle of authority. We would be able to list many reasons why Jesus’ disciples weren’t there with Him. But among all these things perhaps we haven’t meditated sufficiently on the fact that Jesus never allowed that His sojourn among them had become a trading. Jesus never questioned the absence of His disciples at Golgotha. He knew that they didn’t have the responsibility to be prepared for a moment like that and He had to show that He was ready regardless of the state of anyone. Jesus knew that sacrifice was His sacrifice and no one else’s.

    The only question of Jesus was directed to His Father: "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?". That is to say: "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?. Jesus never questioned the forsaking of those that He guided, but instead, he spoke of the absence of the Father, whose authority He was under. He never asked: My disciples, why have you forsaken me?". Jesus, as a man, was strong enough to resist the results of the absence of those that were under His authority.

    If Lucifer had twelve disciples, and he had to die for them, we certainly would find fifteen crosses instead of three. He would have taken every single one with him, for this is his character. He didn’t hesitate to draw all of the fallen angels that supported him in his rebellion when he was confronted by God.

    Pastor Jefferson states that people will lose the perspective of who leads and who is led when there is limitless relationship and he is inspired precisely in Jesus’ example-that He didn’t allow limitless intimacy during His ministry.

    I would like to clarify that my reasoning in these comments is not apologetic but analytic. Concerning the subjects that pastor Jefferson is treating in this book such as the Morning Star, the matter of one third, the wonderful way that he reviews the relation between the number 37 and God, as well as the great and surprising figure of Joab in his way to deal with the principle of authority, the relation between grace and anointing, the main reason why the Lamb was slain before the foundation of the world and others, are confirmed here by me based on the principle of revelation.

    Something that has called my attention throughout the years of my ministry is the fact that the biggest obstacle against the principle of authority is not personality, let alone temperament, but character. All rebellion is motivated by the feeling of likeness as said by Pastor Jefferson.

    In this book, we see that people begin to forget who they are and where they came from because they have received anointing. The example of Christ is exactly the opposite. Apostle Paul wrote in Colossians 1:15 that Jesus is "the firstborn of every creature. The Greek word for firstborn is Prototokos, which means from the same substance", different from Prototetos (the first to be created). Even Jesus being Prototokos—the same substance of God—He didn’t require to be like God or to exercise divine authority and Apostle Paul wrote to the Philippians saying that He "became obedient unto death".

    After His assumption, Jesus did not receive anything that He didn’t already possess. For this reason, He would never rebel against the Father because this is not His character. But some people who received what they didn’t have lamentably rebelled. Those who question their leaders are commonly in this position. They lose sight of the value of what they possess in being aggravated by the authority their leaders have (which they do not possess).

    For all of this, I congratulate Pastor Jefferson Netto for his boldness to treat healingly this cancer that has found its vaccine in the pages of this book.

    Also, I want to state that in this last hour of the great and last revival of the end times, many things that were hidden from us for millennia will come to us through revelation because all truth revealed by God has its written parallel.

    It is known that the proverb cited above is abundantly explored in Pastor Jefferson Netto’s manuscript because here there are texts and contexts left over. All of this is a rich and amazing textual manifestation of what was until now hidden.

    INTRODUCTION 

    Spiritual Authority is a great responsibility to teach because of two factors. First, because of its importance. Second, because of the great wealth of revelatory information, which was taught by renowned men of God in the past. With this in mind, I greatly desire to move forward in this path after remembering that there is no way to exhaust a theme of this nature, just like all other Biblical concepts. There is still much revelation to come regarding Spiritual Authority.

    I am certain, as a result of what I have received from the Lord, that within the pages of this book you will encounter beautiful and powerful revelations of God. These revelations will certainly bless your life in a profound way. They will also help you in your relationship with God and with the authorities that He has put over your life. If you are an observant person, you have probably already noticed that the success of any person is profoundly linked to how they have related to the authorities that have been placed in their lives. It is because this is a principle that rules the universe.

    To speak of Spiritual Authority is to speak
