Pray for Trump rally in Minneapolis this Thursday. May God protect the people in this gathering. May God reveal and repel the evil. May all the saints have unity in “praying, preaching, testifying truth and submitting to the authority, which is the office (not the people) that God set to punish the wrongdoer (Romans 13:4-5).” (quote from Derek Prince’s following video)
Derek Prince mentioned the Soviet Union’s Christians did the same as the first church did: pray, preach, testify the truth and submit to the government without protest. And God opened a way to do the work people can never do.
Christians’ prayer for the government will change it for God’s good purpose to be done.
為政府禱告，使神的心意透過政府來彰顯。因為領導者的權柄來自神，他們是神的僕人（管道），用來申冤與懲罰那作惡的（羅馬書13:4-5）。
葉光明牧師說，權柄(authority)不是人，而是執法單位(office)。不管我認不認同執政者的為人，我因敬畏神而尊敬他。效法主耶穌敬畏神，尊敬君王（彼得前書2:17），因主耶穌看到彼拉多的權柄的背後是上帝（約翰福音19:11）。
葉光明牧師說，蘇聯的基督徒與初代教會一樣，面對強權時，他們禱告、宣教、見證，順服權柄（意即拒絕做不合神心意的事，但是服在政府制度下，不抗爭，即便死也不怕）。上帝就開路解放蘇聯，做到人所做不到的事。
基督徒以禱告來管理全地，使政府行出神美好的旨意。
