I used to believe a lot of things about God that ended up being completely wrong.
For instance, I used to believe God couldn’t care less about my sports or petty activities I participated in growing up. I felt a major disconnect with Him– believing He was only concerned about the Church-related activities I participated in instead.
I used to believe I could “mess up” His perfect will if I didn’t walk a straight line in accordance to everything He commanded me (which is impossible by the way).
I used to believe He was in constant battle with the enemy, fighting the principalities of darkness day and night to advance His Kingdom as if He and the enemy were equal in power and authority.
And, I used to believe the Lord was completely disinterested in the governments established in the United States of America, and around the earth.
To me, anything operating outside the walls of the “Church” was something us humans were mindlessly participating in without any investment from our Holy and Magnificent Creator. After all, why would our God care about anything other than sharing the Gospel through churches and mission trips?
But I was wrong.
God cares about everything concerning me, even my little stuffed Dalmatian I snuggled with for years as a young child. If it concerns His beloved child, it concerns Him. He is our loving Father.
“For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways” Psalm 91:11
God’s perfect and pleasing will for my life and for His Kingdom WILL be accomplished, for everything He establishes from His Throne will stand.
“so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it” Isaiah 55:11
The enemy does not “war” with God. God cast Satan out of Heaven and Jesus defeated him once and for all when He conquered the grave and rose again. Christ is victorious in everything, and will rule as King forever.
“He will swallow up death for all time” Isaiah 25:8
And finally, God absolutely cares about our government and the rulers of the nations on this earth. There is no such thing as “separation of Church and State” in God’s eyes. He cares who is elected as President and Vice-President, as Senate and House representatives, as Supreme Court Justices, all the way to city mayors, governors, and even superintendents for schools. He deserves glory in every aspect and in every way- including through our government – and will not allow for us to remove His authority from the government under the deceiving assumption He has no interest in the foundation and condition of our Nation.
“For in Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for Him” Colossians 1:16
For us to believe God has no interest in this current Presidential election is foolishness at its finest. God is absolutely interested in the fraud and corruption brewing behind closed doors and is so involved in this election that He has raised up intercessors and prophets to declare and decree His will and purpose over our Nation and our government. This call to prayer has been the most intense spiritual warfare season I have personally experienced to date.
I encourage you to pray with me for our Nation as we approach the most critical moment in the history of our republic. This prayer is taken from the powerful ministry of a fellow intercessor– Give Him 15 :
“Lord, the evil in our nation’s government truly has become a mucky, foul swamp. Drain it, please. Let the creatures in it turn on one another, so we can see who’s who and what’s what. Make them answer to You. Judge their activities, Lord. We ask You to call those around President Trump into accountability. We ask that the voices negative to the truth be silenced. We ask that their words fall to the ground and have no negative influence on the President or the completion of this election process. We thank You for the courage demonstrated by our president. Increase his courage to a whole new level. We decree over his legal team that they will have wisdom and discernment to push all of heaven’s will forward. Encourage and refresh President Trump, Lord.
We ask You to move on the hearts of state governors, legislators, and judges to settle the ongoing disputes in the 7 contested states, especially Arizona, Pennsylvania and Georgia. We need Your intervention, Lord. We especially ask for a fair and just runoff election in Georgia. Uncover any attempt to steal that election. Conservatives in our nation must have the U.S. Senate.
God, bring more members of the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate on board to contest the electoral college votes in states where the election results are unclear. It is wrong for states to certify election results when they are as yet unknown. Cause the other states’ Representatives and Senators to fight for their voters, so the election is not stolen. Do not allow our votes to be affected by the incompetence or outright fraudulent count of votes in Pennsylvania. Grant us justice, Lord, in Jesus’ Name! Amen.”
Be Blessed!
