  • [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.

  • 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.
