Respect Authority
In a Biblical sense rulers are the leaders of the House of God and establish the protocols of the House and administer the correction, reproof and love of God. One of the major responsibilities of being a ruler is acknowledging and supporting the Truth, The Truth of God. As people we tend to imagine what we feel and make that our reality and our truth but that would be a lie. In John 8 we are instructed that Lucifer is the father of lies which indicates that we can not be ambivalent about truth, especially God's Truth. Embrace God's Truth like gold and yearn for it daily for it will not tarnish nor lose value.
Romans 13:4
For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
John 8:44
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Elohe Tishuathi (God of My Salvation, Psalm 51:14) Your rulers are the reinforcers for good things for which we give You our thanks. For the joy we share in a spirit of oneness we praise You for the understanding of correction, reproof and things done in Love. We declare and decree blessings upon those who embrace correction with Love and hear the Word as Truth, so that as we grow in Grace we may add to the workers for the Kingdom of God. Now, for the sake of the Kingdom, we petition, with an anointing in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, Amen.
