RULERS ARE MINISTERS OF GOD

Greetings dear saints, sons of God and all others joining. Welcome to this enlightening and inspiring study of the Seven Mountains also referred to as pillars or gates. Of the Seven Mountains, thus far we have discussed the Mountain of Religion, Media, Education, and Business. Today and following we will focus on the “Government Mountain”. I also want to remind all of us to pray for each of the seven mountains, especially the mountains on which we are assigned and have jurisdiction, authority.
Matthew 18:18 (KJV)
18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
We are not binding and loosing people back by God but evil spirits. If you are not familiar with this, go to my teachings on the 14th and 15th of April 2026. The following is powerful way to pray, to intercede for those not directly in your jurisdiction under your authority.
2 Timothy 2:24-26 (KJV)
24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
We can pray for this for anyone with full faith. Intercession is important, we want mercy for all, more time to see and acknowledge the Truth. Now, let’s look at our foundational Scriptures and then move forward.
Proverbs 9:1 (KJV)
1 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
Deuteronomy 28:13 (KJV)
13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
It is the will of God that His people be at the top of each mountain and all lower levels on their way up as the keepers of the gates. Each mountain, pillar, gate is important to every person whether they realize it, recognize it, or acknowledge it. For example, look at what has happened to the education mountain, especially in our colleges. The people of God went sound asleep except to complain here and there as education went woke, DEI, and completely godless. Now, we have two generations with little to no moral compass, it is whatever seems right to each one. Well, dear ones that is a shortcut into the abyss. Can you imagine 50 years ago thinking it was just fine to abort babies up to birth and even beyond? Can you imagine 50 years ago people thinking there were more than two genders and mutilating and chemically altering children’s genitalia? People who say there are more than male and female genders are either lying, ignorant, or mentally ill.
Government in the earth which that of the United States is fashioned after is God’s idea. Government in Heaven is different; it is Theocratic and 100% just. Can you see the structure of our government in the following Scripture.
Isaiah 33:22 (KJV)
22 For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.
Did you notice the Judiciary Branch, the Legislative Branch, and the Executive Branch? In Heaven and in the Kingdom of God on the earth, God sits in all three seats. That does not mean we are not subject to the laws of the land; we are commanded to obey the laws of the land. We are told that a part of the function of government on the earth is to administer justice, punish the evil doer and reward the righteous. Meditate the following passage carefully.
Romans 13:1-6 (KJV)
1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 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:
4 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.
5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
6 For this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
The Church as a whole blew this big time with COVID and still walks in darkness concerning COVID. That is not to say the government didn’t make mistakes or have injustices at times and in places. Those should be addressed spiritually in our authority and by legal natural means available to us.
TAKE HOME:
- God’s people are to be in government, and they are to be at the head of local, state, and federal government. The dominating force for righteousness, justice for all.
- The three co-equal branches of government were God’s idea to balance power and maintain justice.
- Government officials are God’s ministers.
As the Lord wills, I will return tomorrow with fresh revelation. The Lord bless and keep you and yours. Remember, we love you, the Lord loves you, and there is nothing you can do about either one.
