Shut Up Until Spoken To

In government, each and every response must be from the Spirit of Jesus Christ. He helped found this country and only He knows how to save it. Fleshly responses will, in fact, make things worse. Stay quiet unless spoken to by the Holy Spirit. Surely, there is at least one government leader who has an ear for Jesus Christ. If not, we can’t depend on government leadership anyway.

The bottom line is this: we are in a spiritual war, and we need spiritual warriors. In addition, we desperately need true prophets of God in the body of Christ. We need those who are anointed with the Holy Spirit and power, those who speak with the sword of the Spirit in such a way that makes the hearts of king’s flutter and their knees grow weak. Prophets are intercessors, but we also need intercessors.

Real Christians desperately need to pray with the spirit and with the understanding (1 Corinthians 14:15; Romans 8:26). If you don’t know how to pray with the spirit, you better learn how if you expect to deal with the footman and then run with the horses (Jeremiah 12:5). We are also dealing with things that go along with “this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:21).
