The bible tells us in Romans 13 that government has been established by God to keep nations and people moral and righteous. And when the government fails to do the will of God, the nation fails and is judged by God. Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers.
Romans 13:1-4
1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 For 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:
4 For 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.
We live in a country that is having turmoil everywhere you turn. A pandemic has entered our country and blame has been thrown back and forth like a football. Peaceful protests have turned into riots, leaving the innocent as the victims feeling the worst of it.
What is happening to our cities stopping us from working together to solve the problem? Why do we see less of neighbor helping neighbor as was the norm in times past? Is it because of racial tension? Of course not. Is it because of the differences we hold dear to us?Of course not.
The answer is so simple, yet so complicated. We have decided to let our flesh and mind vote politicians in instead of making sure our vote lines up with the word of God. If a political figure believes in anything that goes against the Word of God, then we are voting for someone that is against Holiness.
We can argue that statement all day, but the Bible reads in Proverbs 21:2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.
Yes, man has treated man wrong for centuries, and we have laws to punish those that are condemned in the courts. Sometimes the people that are making the laws or the ones that are supposed to be upholding the laws do not do that which is right before man or God, and they will pay for it, if not on this earth then on judgement day.
But all the violence that we see around us should never have been allowed to go as far as it has. The politicians have decided without the approval of the majority to allow it not for the sake of the people but for their own personal gain.
It is time we stand up and say enough is enough and take our cities back! One may ask how we can do that in a peaceful way since the devil is running rampage on our streets destroying what he can with fire or bricks, hurting not only our police officers, but anyone who gets in the way, and instilling fear in those that have the authority to do something.
The first thing we can do as believers is take authority. All through the nation there are those that are praying for the violence to stop, but now we must stand up to that lying devil once and for all.
The first day we had the protesters in our city (San Antonio, Texas) it was calm, but by the evening it led to destruction with glass flying as windows in a restaurant were broken and men danced on the tables.
So, on Sunday after church we drove downtown with our anointing oil in hand and drove down one street after another rebuking that devil and commanding no destruction in our city. We did continue with some protests, but the destruction and violence did not take place in our area.
Ministers and members of the churches that know how to use the authority the Lord Jesus Christ has given to them need to get together, take the anointing oil, and hit the streets during the day when it is quiet and cover them, declaring the devil leave as enough is enough, and you do not need to put up with it any more.
Second thing all must do is vote those politicians that have made these situations political instead of truly helping their constitutes out of office. They were voted in and are surely not doing the will of the Lord.
Let us continue praying for our country and fasting as led by the Holy Spirit. Never allowing fear to control our actions, as we are not now nor never will be a defeated child of the most High God!
You might not have to lay your life down for this country as your forefathers had done years ago so you could have the freedom, but today you can fight for the country we love by prayer and fasting so you will not lose those freedoms.
We are blessed to live in freedom, let us not lose it to the devil!
