1 Timothy 1-2, Therefore I exhort first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.
If you look around at what is going on in this world, it’s easy to understand why people are afraid, stressed, and in despair. Let’s look at some facts.
The Lord God Almighty is in charge of everything. He allows what goes on among rulers and those who are ruled. It is all part of His plan which goes beyond just today.
Romans 13: 1-2, Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore, whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.
Since people do not know God, they don’t receive His best. The Old Testament tells us that people strayed from God. When they got bad enough, He punished them to wake them up.
When the people woke up and repented, and followed God once again, He forgave them and blessed them. So why do people go through that cycle? It has been going on for thousands of years. satan starts working on people by promoting complacency, then things start to get out of hand, and good people say or do nothing, everything gets worse and worse.
As time goes on and things get worse no one notices, and many don’t even care. It goes on until the circle is complete. Think of how many times in history this cycle has been repeated all over the world.
We live in times that look a lot like the Book of Revelation. Is this another wake-up call? People think electing a new leader will fix everything. Sad to say but they are wrong, because only almighty God can get to the real root of the problem and fix it. Constant, sincere prayer moves Almighty God.
If you read the story of Jonah you will discover that the city of Nineveh was ready for destruction but when the king and all the people repented, God spared them.
2 Chronicles 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.
That’s right. If everyone repented, and lived according to God’s will, he will forgive, and we will have a better life. After we are forgiven though, we must remind each other to keep on praying for God’s Saving Grace and to not fall back into satan’s trap.
If almighty God is not in our lives, don’t be surprised if we are destroyed. We are here to serve Him, but we get abundant blessings, peace, and happiness in return, as well as eternity with Him. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!
Remember Jesus loves you.
Prayer of Salvation.
My Lord Jesus Christ, I believe you died on the cross and rose again to save me and to forgive all my sins. I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I Repent of my sins, and I thank You and Praise You for what You did on the cross to make my salvation possible. Amen.
Praise The Lord!
