We must take back this part of our culture, for a righteous government alongside a kingdom-minded and spirit-empowered church is the vehicle through which God's righteous authority enters the earth: "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn" (Prov.
Born for such a time as this, these kingdom warriors will be used to turn a nation back to its righteous roots and heavenly purpose.Īs surprising as it may sound, another part of this "army" will be found in government roles. An apostolic, praying church is arising, one that will soon be offered the momentum of a third great awakening. I believe, however, that God has a response to America's Hamans, just as He did the Jews' destroyer. Haman, for those who don't know, was the guy who cooked up a scheme to kill all of the Jews living in Persia-only to be hanged himself when the plot was discovered. Seen in this light, it's especially unnerving when Sheets says his followers need to really ramp up their prayers to defeat the "Hamans" in our society. Their ultimate goal is to take over the world and sweep out all who dare to resist them so they can bring Jesus back. You're an overcomer, a conqueror.įor those who don't know, the NAR teaches they are the civil authority. Using Webster's definition of governing, you were created "to direct and control to maintain the superiority," not to be lorded over by other people, evil forces or even unfortunate circumstances. You were actually created with a nature to rule, to govern, to exercise authority. One of Scripture's primary themes is governmental authority. We legislate through spiritual laws, principles and activities. Praying with authority, therefore, is "governmental intercession." So, in essence, this is an issue of government-not politics, but prayer! Politicians and government officials legislate through man-made laws and rulings. We often think of government only in its civil sense, but Webster's defines govern as "to direct and control to regulate by authority to influence to direct to restrain to steer or to regulate the course of to exercise authority to maintain the superiority." To exercise authority is to govern. The question of who's in control is a governmental issue.
