Declaration
We decree that godly leaders shall arise in the United States of America. We prophesy that those in high offices of government and places of influence shall carry a righteous standard. We declare that Christ-like believers shall be positioned, established, and voted into government. We speak that they shall be well received, respected, and their offices honored by society and the culture. We declare that notable influencers in society shall carry a moral and biblical standard. We say the leaders and councilmembers in our cities, schools, and universities shall stand for that which is right and reject every antichrist agenda. We say that godly leaders, government officials, and influencers shall carry a righteous discernment and surround themselves with wise and moral counsel. In Jesus’ Name, we break the power and influence of the godless and wicked rulers, activists, judges, journalists, professors, teachers, and businesses that seek to turn the minds of the culture toward evil. We say that the positional authority and thrones of the wicked shall crumble and fall. May they be removed from their places of influence and lose their ability to beguile, abuse, and mislead the citizens of this nation. We prophesy that across this land, in all sectors of society, godly leaders and people of influence shall arise and be exalted and our nation shall rejoice!
Scripture
A just king gives stability to his nation, but one who demands bribes destroys it (Proverbs 29:4 NLT).
It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness (Proverb 16:12 KJV).
Word of Encouragement
Power in the wrong hands is destructive, tearing apart all soundness of life. Consider the effect that the lies and abuses of wicked governments and leaders have had on society over the years. It has inflicted a devastating moral decay in our educational systems, upon healthcare, business, entertainment, and upon nearly every other sector. It’s also rendered a dismantling of the family structure. But consider when godly and morally upright governors and leaders are in power. We typically see health return to the economy, stability in our national security, and our constitutional rights protected. We see the people achieve prosperity and receive fair and just benefits. We also see liberty for the Church to advance the Gospel and moral values, unrestricted and uncensored!
However, some believers are afraid to pray that godless authorities will lose their power. They often quote Romans 13:1, which states that we are to be subject to governmental authority and that it’s God who raises up such powers. However, we must examine the full context of this chapter, which speaks of the type of leader who is a “minister for good” and whose intent is to create reasonable social order for citizens to follow. The context is not speaking of unequivocally honoring leaders who impose an immoral, tyrannical agenda; otherwise, the early apostles who defied such governors and magistrates throughout the Book of Acts were in error. The truth that believers must obey civil law does not insinuate blind obedience to laws or mandates devised by evil, nor does it suggest that wicked, dishonest leaders should receive our undivided support.
Such thinking insinuates that it’s God who installs the most vicious dictators and expects His people to honor them. This simply isn’t true. Remember, it’s typically people who make way for wicked rulers, which God may at times allow, and Scripture reveals such. But Scripture also reveals the benefit and blessing when good leaders are positioned. Therefore, it’s our calling to pray that wicked leaders won’t be elected and shall be removed from office while the godly are exalted!
