We are responsible for this nation because God gave it to us. Remember 2 Chronicles 7:14: “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” If you think our government is a secular institution, and you don’t have anything to do with it since you’re a Christian, think again. God didn’t say the whole nation had to repent from evil. He only said His people had to repent. Only then will He heal our land. As one of His people, you will be held responsible for this nation. As born-again believers, it’s time for us to stand up together and clean house. Part of taking a stand is carefully considering which candidate receives our vote. In doing that, we need to look at fruit in that person’s life and make sure they have the same values we do. And if a candidate or the people supporting a candidate are pushing abortion, sexual sin, pornography or anything like it, we need to reconsider supporting that person. The people in the world aren’t divided about whom to vote for. They support people who will make it easier for them to sin. Changing the Course As Christians in America we haven’t been united, and we’ve done a pitiful job praying for our government. Look at 1 Timothy 2:1-3: “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour.” I became aware of this verse during my first two years in ministry. For more than 50 years I’ve been praying daily for the leaders of the world. In fact, it’s the first thing I bring up before God in my prayer time. Each day I pause and allow God to show me where He desires to use me and my faith. And many times, a short while after I’ve prayed about a situation, I hear about it. It’s an exciting place to be—to pray and see God work in government situations and know that the devil received a knock in the head. There have even been situations when The LORD later told me that if I hadn’t been obedient to pray, He couldn’t have moved in an area of my life like He did. 'Since you were My partner in that,' He said, 'I’m going to be your partner in this.' Nothing Apart From God There is no government apart from God. At the founding of this country, God established a covenant with this nation. He ordained it and He is still in control of it. As His people, we shouldn’t just leave the running of this country to the world. Instead, we must stand up for what God desires to do with it and through it. Remember, God is a God of good government—He ordained it. And He ordained us to be responsible for it.

God wants you to rise up in faith, bring forth His wisdom, and be a positive force wherever you go. 1) No matter how many messes the politicians may have made, God can straighten them all out. Matt. 19:26 2) He simply needs us to pray and believe He will do it. 2 Chr. 7:14 3) When you don’t know exactly what to pray for, pray in other tongues. Rom. 8:26 4) After you pray in tongues, ask God for the interpretation expecting Him to give you new insights about the nation. 1 Cor. 14:13-14 5) There’s no limit to what God can do for this nation through people of faith.
