Prayer and the MInd of Jesus Christ

I love, care about and respect people if they deserve respect, but pardon the expression “I don’t give a hoot” about anyone’s opinions. For me, everything has to be based on God’s truth. Therefore, I am always looking for people who have the mind of Christ and are interested in what He is interested in.

I see very little of the mind of Christ at work in the various leaders of the world, especially in the United States. There are exceptions, but for the most part our spiritual leaders, political leaders, military leaders, educational leaders, business leaders, financial leaders, and those in any kind of the media don't have the mind of Jesus Christ about what is going on in the world. Always remember that the wisdom of the world will never solve the problems of the world (Study Ecclesiastes). Some of the leaders even refer to the Bible at times, but usually in error or out of context.
I don’t intend to depress you, but want to encourage you to seek God, His kingdom and His righteousness as never before. Jesus Christ is depending on His house that He is building to come through for Him. We cannot do it without the Holy Spirit! Jesus and our Heavenly Father sent us the Holy Spirit to lead us and help us carry on the work of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. We have the Word of God and prayer in all its forms. Let us give ourselves to prayer and the Word. Let’s pray that we will have the mind of Jesus Christ and let us pray that He will remove leaders that refuse to yield to Him and His mind and will give us leaders after His heart and mind.
While praying, pray for true prophets of God to come forth that will speak to situations and that people will listen and act on what they say. One of the saddest events in the Bible is when people asked Jeremiah to seek God for what they should do. Jeremiah spent a lot of time seeking God and when he told them what God said their response was no, He didn’t say that. Pray that God will speak and deal with those who refuse to listen, obey and apply what He says. Pray for those who don't believe in prophets of God to wake up to the truth in this matter. Isn’t it interesting that some of those in Christianity that don’t believe in prophets are the ones that emphasize end times prophesy the most? Selah!
