To all you Christians out there that are upset with Democrats having complete control I urge you to do one thing and that is to pray for them. I do not mean pray that they die or are removed from office or anything negative like that, but pray that the make wise decisions.
If you cannot do that, then at least do not curse them although I will tell you that you are called to pray for your leaders. Remember this and remember is well, no one comes to power except by God.
In other words, God put these people in charge. Why? I do not know, but my suspicion is that we have become a nation that is not one nation under God. The why in this case is not important, but our obedience to do as God has asked.
I say pray because God has told us to love one another especially to love our enemies and to pray for those who persecute you. If you think the politicians are your enemies, they really are not.
So if they are not, then who is? Well that is an easy question to answer, it is Satan. God has told us that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. It may sound like our fight is against the leaders of our nation, but the very first sentence says that our fight is not against other humans.
If you are saying this is a bunch of crap and that you do not like the direction our country is going so why should I pray for them, well I am right there with you. However, instead of taking the fight to them, why don’t you take the fight to the spiritual realm and pray for them. Be like Ester and fast and pray for the people of this nation and ask others to do the same.
I know, I know it is really hard to pray for someone you do not like or whom you even hate. Well you can explain to God one day why you decided that you were better than them and did not pray. Lets see how that one goes.
A nation that is righteously praying for its leaders is more powerful than just about anything else out there because God will hear your prayers. He will respond to your prayers, but in his own time. Like my daughter told me, one man prayed for another man for 30 years before the man being prayed for came to Christ. Think about, 30 years of praying for someone.
So to those of you who read this blog, spread this information about praying for your leaders. Do it every morning, at lunch, while driving, in the evening, before bed, etc. In other words do not pray just one time and expect results. Pray and keep praying and fast if God has told you to fast or fast if you think it is the right thing to do. Like I said be like Ester.
