The Lord Almighty is the Creator of all things, including government (Isaiah 9:6). He created three institutions to care for us—family, Church, and government. His heart is for all to experience godly governance. The branches of American government model His character: For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; it is He who will save us. (Isaiah 33:22)
THE LORD IS OUR JUDGE:
This is what the Lord says: “Maintain justice and do what is right…” (Isaiah 56:1)
PRAY the Judicial Branch (Supreme Court) would establish and maintain just laws.
THE LORD IS OUR LAWGIVER:
If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all His Commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. (Deut. 28:1)
PRAY the Legislative Branch (Congress) would enact laws that follow God’s commands.
THE LORD IS OUR KING:
See, a king will reign in righteousness and rulers will rule with justice. Isaiah 32:1)
PRAY the Executive Branch (President and his Administration) would reign in righteousness.
We are part of God’s plan for government!
God created government to be stewarded by His people. It has been said that we get the government we deserve. We have the power to shape history—the tool God has given us is intercession. You can join God in fulfilling His destiny for our great nation through prayer and fasting.
