Blog or Article?
Blogs often focus on personal opinion, experiences, views, anecdotes or advice. Blogs tend to have a relaxed and conversational feel, such as in storytelling and are generally 300-500 words.
Articles aim to deliver well-researched, informative content with solid evidence to back up the points made. Articles are usually more formal, organized and frequently range 500-1000 words.
One doesn't need to acquire an in-depth spiritual perception and awareness to recognize that our country is in speedy decline. Every seam that unites us together as "one nation under God" appears to be unraveling. Morally, financially, spiritually—our country has lost its way, and is rapidly heading down the road of disaster. And, sadly, most of the good men and women who could provide leadership are barely making ends meet or are afraid of becoming a political target.
Who can help?
Thankfully, we have learned in God's Word that each us, as men and women of God, have at least one, vital responsibility to our country. And that is, to intercede for it:
II Timothy 2: I-3: [emphasis added]
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior.
In the past, as a mere citizen, I have felt powerless to make any real impact on the direction of my country and its politics. But—as a Son of God with Power—there is much that can be accomplished.
In fact, our spiritual influence over Satan's kingdom is so impactful, so significant, that the Apostle Paul exhorts us: make prayer the absolute "first of all" thing that you do.
There may be many things God would have us to do in life. But there is no greater priority, He says, than prayer.
Why is this? Because, when we pray, God’s power is released to do exactly what He needs it to do. Without prayer, the fire can never be ignited.
For whom are we to pray?
"For kings, and for all that are in authority".
Why do pray for these government authorities?
"That we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty."
So, why are we to pray for the Congress, the Senate, and the President? Because we like them, or not? No, neither matters.
Rather, we are to pray to restrain our governments from hindering God’s work, and us. Or, to put more bluntly—that the government will simply stay out of our and our children’s lives—forever.
Unfortunately, we live in Satan's kingdom. Nonetheless, we, as God's people, and our families, are promised the Father's protection and prosperity. That's the guarantee of His Word. We are set apart, sanctified, even while we live in Satan’s midst.
In spite of God's promises, if someone doesn't pray and believe, His promises will never—can never—come to pass. Instead, he will become trampled by Satan's power. This has happened to all of us, from time to time. Consequently, our vigilance is required. We cannot take our eyes off the ball.
Our greatest weapon to protect our countries, our peoples, our families—is prayer! And not just begging with weak words, but faith-filled prayer, standing on our authority with expectation.
You have the authority as a man or woman of God to command the protection and success for God's servants in this world, today! In fact, if you do not do it, it will not be done.
At this rare time in history, America is approaching a narrow bend in the river, with rocky crags rapidly encroaching. This "Ship of State" which we once loved is taking on water and listing badly. There's not much gap between where we are now and the collapse of our vital freedoms. Once lost, they won't be return any time soon.
The least we can do for the unborn future generations is to pray—with believing confidence—for God to keep His promise: that God's people and their children “may lead a quiet and peaceable life, in all godliness and honesty”.
As those who desire to walk in spiritual perception and awareness, the responsibility falls to us in these critical times to pray with believing for the country we enjoyed in our youth.
PS - We will be traveling the country over the coming months. Let us know if you would like some company. It's always good to see old friends and make new ones. My email address is allbusiness7711@gmail.com

I can be a Trump fan even tho he's a mush mouth who has trouble expressing a thought. BUT I need to be a J-E-S-U-S fan more often; and express his thoughts with MY mouth!
My favorite part: “You have the authority as a man or woman of God to command the protection and success for God's servants in this world, today! In fact, if you do not do it, it will not be done.”
The Believers Authority is our God given right to command the impossible to come to pass in the name of Jesus Christ. I plead the Blood of Jesus Christ on our nation, our elected officials and my family today. Amen, Amen!
You are absolutely right, and it is refreshing to see someone sharing a Scriptural, spiritual perspective on the state of the nation. Far too many seem to forget that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood ....
