Proverbs 28:2 is what we are looking for in 2012!
2 When a land transgresses, it has many rulers, but when the ruler is a man of discernment, understanding, and knowledge, its stability will long continue.
We are believing God to remove the ungodly leaders and promote the godly in very election in 2012 - in the mighty Name of Jesus of Nazareth! AMEN! Verses 4-5:
4 Those who forsake the law [of God and man] praise the wicked, but those who keep the law [of God and man] contend with them. 5 Evil men do not understand justice, but they who crave and seek the LORD understand it fully.
THAT is the type of leaders we are looking for!
We spoke a little yesterday about dealing with the enemy and standing! Ephesians 6:11-18 describe the armor of God that we are to clothe ourselves with as we take on our warfare against the forces of darkness:
12 For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.
13
Therefore put on God's complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place].
14 Stand therefore [hold your ground], having tightened the belt of truth around your loins and having put on the breastplate of integrity and of moral rectitude and right standing with God,
15 And having shod your feet in preparation [to face the enemy with the firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the readiness produced by the good news] of the Gospel of peace. [Isa 52:7.]
16 Lift up over all the [covering] shield of saving faith, upon which you can quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked [one].
17 And take the helmet of salvation and the sword that the Spirit wields, which is the Word of God.
18 Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints (God's consecrated people).
When we are clothed with God's armor and bearing His weapons, we cannot fail! Here are some encouraging pictures I found concerning this! one for the male men among us, and another for the female men!
In Nehemiah 8-9 the people turned their focus to the Word of God and to blessing and honoring the One, True, Most High, Living, Almighty God of the Bible! THAT is what is most needed for the United States of America to again be a great and blessed nation! It all begins with God's people praying (2 Chronicles 7:14). Are YOU? Let's DO IT! Amen!
Shalom in Him!
