Luke 4:17-21: Jesus opened the book and read from Isaiah(61): "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised."

Here are my thoughts regarding a Christian’s authorized civil disobedience and comment to Brother Paul Dawson Missions, Faith and Church
Amen Brother! Sending funds to help. Thank you for reaching out to the body of Christ.
If you had been demonstrating in defiance of COVID lockdown I personally couldn’t harmonize this civil disobedience with Romans Chapter 13:1-7 KJV. However, since the Holy Spirit clearly led you outdoors to preach the GOSPEL and warn of the very soon coming horror of God’s Wrath- which happens to go against the lockdown, you’re clearly justified in accordance with ACTS 5:29 KJV. I know your heart brother. Love you.. God bless you and your family abundantly. See you soon! Maranatha!

Civil and Social Duties
1Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4for he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 5Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. 6For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. 7Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
