But if all we ever do is pray Priestly, we have neglected being God\’s agent of change Scripture: Galatians 4:16-20
Galatians 4:16-20 says, “Have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth? …….. My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you, I would like to be present with you now and to change my tone; for I have doubts about you.” When Jesus looks at the church today, does He have doubts? Those are likely doubts about whether we will actually grow up into all of Who He is. We are doing great at representing His Priestly nature but how well are we doing representing the Kingly Christ? All we have to do is look at the leadership in your country when they have made choices and turned from truth and see that Ezekiel 13:19 is a reality. If the church were representing the Judicial Christ, we might see some of our leaders temporal or spiritual transformed or terminated by God\’s Hand. The only reason some of them are still in position is because of the church’s tradition to pray blessing rather than seeking the Spirit and obeying when authorized to demand, “God, visit them and reward them according to their works.” Or “Reward them according to their works!” But if the church is only comfortable praying for, we work against Christ. If we do not know how to pray against, we do not know the Kingly warfare of Christ! Jesus is first Judge of all the earth and second Savior of all the earth. The book of Revelation says we are first a King and second a Priest. But if all we ever do is pray Priestly, we have neglected being God\’s agent of change. King David is our example. He prayed his enemies into the grave! Jesus is koo-ree-os/Judge first and khris-tos/Christ second.
PrayerFather, put an end to bad and corrupt leadership in my country. Give us leaders that are willing to bring justice and good governance to the nation in Jesus\’ name.
