1Ti 2:2 Pray this way for kings and all who are in
authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and
dignity. 1Ti 2:3 This is good and pleases God our Savior, 1Ti 2:4 who
wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. 1Ti 2:5 For there is only
one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ
Jesus. 1Ti 2:6
He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message
God gave to the world at just the right time.
In Matthew we are to told to go into the world and preach
the gospel. Sometimes I feel that is easier to do than to pray for our leaders
but here we are being requested to do just that. When they declare war on
another nation. When the pass legislation to allow marriage to people other
than a man and a woman. When they support the places that abort children it
becomes hard to believe that your prayers are being answered. What we do not
know is what God wil do with those prayers.
Rev_5:8 And when
he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and
twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and
golden vials full of odours, which
are the prayers of saints.
Rev_8:3 And
another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there
was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar
which was before the throne.
Rev_8:4 And the
smoke of the incense, which came with
the prayers of the saints,
ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
God can do a lot with our prayers We are the saints
everyone who has accepted Christ is considered a saint in the bible. We need to
pray for God's plan to be worked out as he sees fit. Did you ever think you
would be considered a saint? What Jesus did for us on the cross was so much
more than we ever imagined.
