Hello, thank you so much for joining me today for Give Him 15.

The title of today's post, Our Powerful Friend.

In yesterday's Give Him 15, I stated that, and I'm quoting now from it,

we must not underestimate the significance of those in positions of governmental

authority honoring God on behalf of a nation. Like it or not, the actions of those in authority

affect all of us. When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice, but when the wicked bear rule,

the people mourn. Proverbs 292. Untold numbers of curses and judgments have been visited on

entire nations through the decisions of government leaders. Roe v. Wade is but one example. But don't forget the

first half of the verse. When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice. God honoring

decisions by government leaders release the blessings of heaven on a nation. President Trump,

reading God's word over our nation, released great power. His rededication and welcoming of God

into our land Sunday were profoundly important.

The heavens shifted over our nation that day.

The famous if my people quote or verse,

Second Chronicle 714 read by our president recently and replayed,

or replayed at Sunday's rededication event,

was first stated by God in response to a government leader,

King Solomon's Prayer of Dedication.

His authority as the leader of the nation

gave him the right to interact with God on behalf of the nation.

Again, the prayers of our leaders are very significant.

All of us present could sense a great weight on the prayer of Speaker Johnson this past Sunday.
