- "-- who are in authority." first of all,
- 00:11:10.597 --> 00:11:11.698
- First of all, top priority is to pray.
- 00:11:11.765 --> 00:11:13.233
- Top priority is to pray. why?
- 00:11:13.300 --> 00:11:14.067
- Why? because those in authority
- 00:11:14.134 --> 00:11:15.635
- Because those in authority pass laws that affect every

- People rejoice." there's not much rejoicing
- 00:11:47.601 --> 00:11:48.869
- There's not much rejoicing in america right now.
- 00:11:48.935 --> 00:11:50.370
- In america right now. [yes.]

- Expose the corrupt. let the light of truth strip
- 00:11:56.176 --> 00:11:57.811
- Let the light of truth strip the rich and powerful naked
- 00:11:57.878 --> 00:11:59.913
- The rich and powerful naked before god and man.
- 00:11:59.980 --> 00:12:02.048
- Before god and man. hallelujah.
- 00:12:02.115 --> 00:12:04.184
- Hallelujah. (applause)
- 00:12:04.251 --> 00:12:07.621
- (applause) then after you pray,
- 00:12:07.687 --> 00:12:08.688
- Then after you pray, go vote and vote the bible.
- 00:12:08.755 --> 00:12:11.124
- Go vote and vote the bible. [amen.]
- 00:12:11.191 --> 00:12:11.691
- [amen.] then america will become
- 00:12:11.758 --> 00:12:12.726
- Then america will become a different nation.
- 00:12:12.793 --> 00:12:13.994
- A different nation. [yes.]
- 00:12:14.060 --> 00:12:14.761
- [yes.] here's an exciting bible fact.
- 00:12:14.828 --> 00:12:16.730
- Here's an exciting bible fact. america's leaders are
- 00:12:16.797 --> 00:12:17.764
- America's leaders are controlled by god.
- 00:12:17.831 --> 00:12:19.900
- Controlled by god. are you shocked?
- 00:12:19.966 --> 00:12:21.568
- Are you shocked? the bible says,
- 00:12:21.635 --> 00:12:22.335
- The bible says, "all power is from god."
- 00:12:22.402 --> 00:12:25.038
- "all power is from god." romans 13:1,
- 00:12:25.105 --> 00:12:26.306
- Romans 13:1, "there is no power but of god:
- 00:12:26.373 --> 00:12:28.475
- "there is no power but of god: the powers that be are
- 00:12:28.542 --> 00:12:29.810
- The powers that be are ordained of god."
- 00:12:29.876 --> 00:12:31.278
- Ordained of god." that means all politicians,
- 00:12:31.344 --> 00:12:32.913
- That means all politicians, judges,
- 00:12:32.979 --> 00:12:33.446
- Judges, policemen,
- 00:12:33.513 --> 00:12:34.314
- Policemen, kings are servants of god.
- 00:12:34.381 --> 00:12:36.817
- Kings are servants of god. the question is:
- 00:12:36.883 --> 00:12:37.617
- The question is: why doesn't god do a better
- 00:12:37.684 --> 00:12:38.952
- Why doesn't god do a better job in who he picks?
- 00:12:39.019 --> 00:12:40.854
- Job in who he picks? consider daniel
- 00:12:40.921 --> 00:12:41.721
- Consider daniel and nebuchadnezzar.
- 00:12:41.788 --> 00:12:43.924
- And nebuchadnezzar. the point is that all power
- 00:12:43.990 --> 00:12:45.859
- The point is that all power rests with god.
- 00:12:45.926 --> 00:12:47.160
- Rests with god. nebuchadnezzar had a dream
- 00:12:47.227 --> 00:12:48.695
- Nebuchadnezzar had a dream and he forgot it.
- 00:12:48.762 --> 00:12:50.697
- And he forgot it. prima facie evidence that when
- 00:12:50.764 --> 00:12:52.132
- Prima facie evidence that when you go to work in government,
- 00:12:52.199 --> 00:12:53.366
- You go to work in government, the first thing to go
- 00:12:53.433 --> 00:12:54.234
- The first thing to go is your mind.
- 00:12:54.301 --> 00:12:55.802
- Is your mind. (laughter)
- 00:12:55.869 --> 00:12:56.570
- (laughter) nebuchadnezzar commanded that
- 00:12:56.636 --> 00:12:58.238
- Nebuchadnezzar commanded that his witchcraft corps tell him
- 00:12:58.305 --> 00:13:00.941
- His witchcraft corps tell him the dream that he had
- 00:13:01.007 --> 00:13:02.509
- The dream that he had and what did it mean.
- 00:13:02.576 --> 00:13:05.245
- And what did it mean. he threatened to kill everyone
- 00:13:05.312 --> 00:13:06.880
- He threatened to kill everyone in his kingdom who were in
- 00:13:06.947 --> 00:13:08.248
- In his kingdom who were in the witchcraft business.
- 00:13:08.315 --> 00:13:09.816
- The witchcraft business. and he threw that blanket
- 00:13:09.883 --> 00:13:10.884
- And he threw that blanket over daniel.
- 00:13:10.951 --> 00:13:13.153
- Over daniel. daniel said,
- 00:13:13.220 --> 00:13:13.653
- Daniel said, give me and my prayer group
- 00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:14.988
- Give me and my prayer group time to pray about it,
- 00:13:15.055 --> 00:13:16.289
- Time to pray about it, and the god whom we serve
- 00:13:16.356 --> 00:13:17.791
- And the god whom we serve will give us the answer.
- 00:13:17.858 --> 00:13:18.758
- Will give us the answer. they prayed and god revealed
- 00:13:18.825 --> 00:13:21.261
- They prayed and god revealed both the dream
- 00:13:21.328 --> 00:13:22.796
- Both the dream and the interpretation.
- 00:13:22.863 --> 00:13:24.064
- And the interpretation. think about that.
- 00:13:24.130 --> 00:13:25.198
- Think about that. listen to daniel's prayer of
- 00:13:25.265 --> 00:13:26.466
- Listen to daniel's prayer of thanksgiving in daniel 2:20,
- 00:13:26.533 --> 00:13:28.935
- Thanksgiving in daniel 2:20, quote,
- 00:13:29.002 --> 00:13:29.569
- Quote, "blessed be the name of god
- 00:13:29.636 --> 00:13:30.937
- "blessed be the name of god forever...for he removes kings
- 00:13:31.004 --> 00:13:34.207
- Forever...for he removes kings and he establishes kings."
- 00:13:34.274 --> 00:13:37.244
- And he establishes kings." that is as true today
- 00:13:37.310 --> 00:13:38.979
- That is as true today as it was then.
- 00:13:39.045 --> 00:13:40.680
- As it was then. who removes kings?
- 00:13:40.747 --> 00:13:42.382
- Who removes kings? god.
- 00:13:42.449 --> 00:13:43.250
- God. who establishes kings?
- 00:13:43.316 --> 00:13:45.118
- Who establishes kings? god.
- 00:13:45.185 --> 00:13:45.952
- God. proverbs 21:1:
- 00:13:46.019 --> 00:13:47.654
- Proverbs 21:1: the king's heart is like
- 00:13:47.721 --> 00:13:49.022
- The king's heart is like channels of water.
- 00:13:49.089 --> 00:13:50.190
- Channels of water. he turns it wherever he wishes
- 00:13:50.257 --> 00:13:52.292
- He turns it wherever he wishes it to go.
- 00:13:52.359 --> 00:13:53.793

- Nor the west, nor from the south.
- 00:13:59.599 --> 00:14:00.867
- Nor from the south. but god is the judge:
- 00:14:00.934 --> 00:14:02.569
- But god is the judge: he puts one up,
- 00:14:02.636 --> 00:14:03.904
- He puts one up, and he puts another down.
- 00:14:03.970 --> 00:14:05.839

- The church, what is your pleasure?
