Scripture: Isaiah 28:14-15
Isaiah 28:14-15 says, “Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you scornful men, Who rule this
people who are in Jerusalem, Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,
And with Sheol we are in agreement. When the overflowing scourge passes through, It will
not come to us, For we have made lies our refuge, And under falsehood we have hidden
ourselves.” Does that sound like any in our culture that we currently know? Are there
politicians who have made a covenant with death? Many leaders in our culture today have
made a covenant with death. A covenant with death includes the murder of innocent children,
it includes redefining marriage. it includes policies that open Israel up to nuclear destruction
by Iran or any other group or nation dedicated to darkness. Each leader who has championed
these causes either blatantly or unwittingly has made a covenant with death. We must pray
for God to expedite the removal of these individuals as well as the various organizations
which have pushed these evil agendas forward. ‘
Praying in the Spirit releases boldness in prayer to initiate judicial events or perhaps
grace to withhold such prayers due to God’s intent to bring wayward individuals to
Himself. Praying in the Spirit brings us the power of God to move the mountain and it
also gives us power to persevere while waiting!
