God's Other Ordained Ministers:
THE OTHER GOD-ORDAINED MINISTERS:
Attention this is very important, I'm a National, International Global representative of our Lord Jesus Christ and this is His Ministry, I thank the Lord Jesus Christ for all of you who do support me, I'm your Senior God-Ordained Chosen Apostle, Christ Jesus, Ambassor & Messenger and He sent me, Elder James Winfree Sr, to serve all of His spiritual Kingdom sons and daughters in the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ. )
Luke 11:49
The command of praying for our leaders as God's beloved Spirit-filled guided sons and daughters is not unique to democratic nations, and it did not begin with the United States National Day of Prayer or Churches. The Bible contains many commands to pray for our leaders, national and local, secular and religious. ( Yes, even those over and own social media networks )
Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 2:1–4, “I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for all people, for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.” God told the Israelites in exile to pray for Babylon: “Seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper” (Jeremiah 29:7). & Romans 13:1 says, “Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.” Apostle Paul requested prayer “for all the Lord’s people” and himself that he would speak the gospel boldly (Ephesians 6:18–20).
Prayer is important. ( These are God's Ordained Other Ministers ) And it seems the Bible makes special mention of praying for those in positions of authority. Such authorities include government officials (international, national law enforcement, and local judges) and ministers, church elders, school boards, school principals, employers of police, and the like such as the presidents, Kings, Queens, lords, and many others and their staff.
We do not pray for our leaders simply because we are commanded to. Praying for them makes practical sense. Our leaders can affect the conditions we live in and have an impact on our families, our churches, our workplaces, our cities, and our countries. When those in authority are obeying the will of God, it is easier to “live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness” (1 Timothy 2:2). When evil men are in authority, our prayers for them are just as needed.
Also, we do not pray for our leaders merely for our benefit. Leadership can be a tiring task. Apostle James 3:1 says, “Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.” Leaders carry a degree of responsibility to their followers. They are often the targets of criticism and the go-to people in a crisis. If they are leading well, they are living their lives in service. We pray for them because we recognize the greatness of their task and because we are grateful for their willingness to lead.
So how should we pray for our leaders? First, if we are uncertain that they know Jesus, we should pray for their salvation. But whether or not our leaders are Christ Believers, we should pray that God will guide them as they guide us. We should pray that they are wise and discerning and surrounded by helpful advisers. We know that God has placed our leaders in authority over us (Romans 13:1), and we can ask Him to use them as He will. We should also pray for their protection. When praying for ministers or ministry leaders, we can pray for them to have strength amid spiritual warfare and to remain encouraged in the Lord. We can pray for their families, who often feel scrutinized and bear an extra load.
Briefly stated we should mention our leaders before God in prayer ( For they are God's other Ministers ) and ask Him to have His way in their hearts, to support those around them, and to use their leadership to benefit and glorify The Heavenly Father in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Yes, We will, and Yes We will obey God's Word and Voice.
1 Corinthians 12:28
And God Has Appointed these in The Church: First Apostles, Second Prophets, Third Teachers, after, that Miracles, then Gifts of Healings, Helps, Administrations, Varieties of Tongues. Amen.
Sincerely, God's Honarable Serving Senior Apostle & Messenger, Elder James R Winfree Sr.
Yes, I Dare you to be Free, But Most Importantly, The Lord Jesus Christ DARES you to Be, Stay, and, Remain, FREE.
I Do Love you with godly love in Jesus Christ!
