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 38 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. V
