Good
Morning!
I
am going to have to put the message of "Grace" on hold
again...God has given me a "right now" Word, and I must be
obedient! He is calling us to PRAY!
I
am going to type out, word for word, what 1Timothy 2: 1 thru 6
(Amplified Bible) says.."First of all, then I admonish and urge that
petitions, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of
all men, for kings and all who are in positions of authority or high
responsibility, that (outwardly) we may have a quiet and
undisturbed life and (inwardly) a peaceable one in all godliness and reverence
in every way. For such praying is good and right, and it is pleasing and
acceptable to God our Savior. Who wants all men to be saved, and increasingly
to perceive and recognize and discern and know precisely and correctly the
divine Truth; That there is only one God, and only one
mediator between God and men....the Man, Christ Jesus"!
This
is a "crucial time" that we are in, and we need to be praying for
our leaders, not only for those in our "government", but what I see
in these scriptures is...we also need to be praying for our
"spiritual" leaders. We need to be praying that all of our
"leaders", in both categories, will be surrounded by Godly
counsel!
This
is not a time to be "passive"....It is a time to "PRAY"!
I encourage you to do what The Lord has instructed us to do in the above
scriptures.
