As the ekklesia, we are to pray for good government so that our prayers will not be hindered!
What promotes the mandates given to us by Jesus Himself? Good government! In the past four years, the ekklesia has been attacked with COVID mandates to abstain from congregating. In addition, our free speech was attacked and those who spoke out were at risk of arrest. Abortion advocates demeaned the ekklesia without hesitation. LGBTQ was promoted and endorsed by the administration, entertainment industry, and mainstream news networks. The U.S. warmongers want to continue the endless wars before the next president enters office.
I was concerned that there was judgment coming if things didn’t change. Thankfully, FATHER’S great grace and mercy prevailed. However, the spiritual war is not over.
How much longer do we have to walk out Jesus’ mandate? By all indications, the time is short so we must not delay in sharing Christ with others.
Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 16:
15 And Jesus said to them (and us), “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.
16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My Name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new Tongues;
18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
Do not discount any of the above commands and do not be hesitant to step out in faith.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Timothy chapter 2:
1 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,
2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all Godliness and reverence (good government).
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God Our Savior,
4 Who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the Truth.
5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,
6 He gave Himself as ransom-payment for everyone. Now is the proper time for God to give the world this witness.
Now is the time to testify of Our Lord Jesus Christ with boldness. If The Holy Spirit directs you to testify to a particular person, do not be reluctant.
The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st John chapter 5:
14 Since we have this complete confidence, we can also have great boldness before Him, for if we ask anything agreeable to His Will, He will hear us.
15 And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we also know that we have obtained the requests we ask of Him.
Our Heavenly Father wants us to fully represent HIM on the earth. There is no reluctance on HIS part. HE has provided everything we need to fulfill the Great Commission given to us by HIS Son.
It is written by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Chronicles chapter 7:
14 If My people who are called by My Name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My Face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
15 Now My Eyes will be open and My Ears attentive to prayer made in this place.
We are called to be humble, seek HIS Face, and walk in Holiness. HE will respond and heal our land. When HE says “I will”, HE means it!
