Dear brothers in Christ: I tearfully say believers have failed politically because we don't heed God's Word, therefore He doesn't listen to our words or prayers. The Apostle Paul admonished us to pray (the opposite of cursing) for those who rule over us, pray for their success as statesmen and as guardians, and for the protection of them and their families.
If our President is our political enemy who curses us under his breath, we are to bless him, as Jesus told us to, commend him honestly when he does a task well, and be slow to anger, slow to criticize. We do this to honor God's Word's, and not to gain political advantage.
Do not fear that his success as a statesman will lead to his success politically, for God decides who will be lifted up or brought down. Both Nixon and Carter were great statesmen, probably because of the prayers of believers, and failed spectacularly politically.
God choosing who to lift up is the reason we should listen to God and NOT MEN when we go to the poll booth. Next time you vote, ask God who His man is.
Paul's Words:I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
