Out of This World


     As God continues to use us while we are in the world, rely on His Holy Spirit, continue to meditate on His word and His ways, and never, ever forget the power of prayer in your life. Praying for our nation and for our new president are mandated in Scripture.

I urge you then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people-for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good and pleases God, our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:1-4

Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate and always to be gentle toward everyone. Titus 3:1-2

Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Romans 13:1

     It is not always easy to pray for the rulers and authorities in our nation. We disagree with so much of what we see. But this is God’s desire for us. Keep praying for others. Keep praying for our nation and Israel. Prayer moves the hand that moves the world.

Father,

We thank You for the ability to come directly to the throne room. We are blessed. Prayer is a gift from You and we thank You for listening.

In Jesus name,

Amen
