Failure to accept God's ordained leader in a country is failure to obey God.
Failure to accept God's ordained leader in a country is failure to obey God.
Romans 13:1-2
Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.
Rev, even if you buy in to the idea that the election was rigged and Joe Biden didn't get the electoral college votes, it is clear that God is giving the US Joe Biden as their President. You are subject to him as your President on January 20th and God calls you to submit to Biden's Presidency.
we are to pray for God to direct Him as the new president, but also called to fight against his policies and agenda, just as we did those of Obama!Failure to accept God's ordained leader in a country is failure to obey God.

I did. Every person whom God has chosen to lead in government is placed there by God. Even those very wicked rulers like North Korea are there by God's ordination. President Trump was placed in that position by God, for a season. I thank God for the four years God ordained. I will continue to praise God for the future leadership and pray that God gives us peace. I know that my citizenship is in heaven. Therefore, I realize that my King rules over all the kingdoms of men and nothing that happens on earth will ever remove my citizenship with God. I am at peace.Tis a shame that your liberal friends (and perhaps you??) didn't heed this advice 4 years ago!!
We obey Christ first. We express to this nation the desires of our King and His righteousness. Whether the US follows that advice is something I can do little to change. May God change Joe Biden's heart so that he follows our King in the decisions he makes.we are to pray for God to direct Him as the new president, but also called to fight against his policies and agenda, just as we did those of Obama!

God ordains them while they are there and advises us of no certain time limit. God can also depose them once they are there. If you imagine that God never uses men to depose earthly leaders, then we read different Bibles. Our own country has legal and historical precedent and means of dealing with corrupt leaders. You may not like that, yet God has so ordained.Failure to accept God's ordained leader in a country is failure to obey God.

I understand that God allows evil to destroy evil. God allowed many wicked kings in Israel and Judah. He allowed coups and wickedness to do His will (read Habakkuk).God ordains them while they are there and advises us of no certain time limit. God can also depose them once they are there.

Granted it’s between you and God how much you participate in the system here, whether only to pray and pay taxes, or to also vote, write representatives, attend townhalls, campaign for candidates, donate to certain efforts, lobby directly, run for office, or serve as a judge, lawyer, policeman, teacher, principal, janitor, researcher, bureaucrat, soldier, doctor, nurse, etc.I understand that God allows evil to destroy evil.

I try to do what Jeremiah advised and pray for the peace of the city in which I live while I am in exile.
God is in full control. No worries.
The irony is that so many who applauded Trump's appointment on Justice Barrett are now eating their words.On 6 Jan - the Joint Houses will open the the EC ballots - if Biden recieves at least 270 he will be the winner - period.
It would be the same if a Republican President said that I cannot worship God in the manner God has ordained. The answer is given in the Church's answer when Rome forbade the Christian religion. I'd suspect it would result in a smaller but more Christian form of Christianity in America.What about when Biden and his supporters tell you that you cannot worship God in the manner God has ordained?
How have our brother's and sister's in China, North Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere acted? Do you realize that Christianity is growing in greater numbers in those places than it is in the US? China has more Christians than the US.What about when Biden and his supporters tell you that you cannot worship God in the manner God has ordained?
This is also the situation God used to grow the early Church. Not only that, but the effect of the government embracing Christianity resulted in the Roman Catholic Church. This brought a degree of secular liberty and peace as it diluted the Christian faith.How have our brother's and sister's in China, North Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere acted?

China has more of nearly everything than the US, or any other country, just due to population size.How have our brother's and sister's in China, North Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere acted?

If they are, it's for no good reason. Another activist Dem would hardly make the situation better.The irony is that so many who applauded Trump's appointment on Justice Barrett are now eating their words. ...
