Do We Really Have to Pray for Democrats?
The Stream ^ | 2024
Posted on 11/15/2024 8:45:54 AM PST by CondoleezzaProtege
Several months ago, I was on a national broadcast show which had a call-in segment at the end. To be clear, it was a Christian teaching show — not a political or conservative talk show — which deals with the news of the day from a biblical perspective.
After sharing my story of being involved in politics as a Republican political consultant for over sixteen years, and about how we at Christians Engaged educate and empower the Body of Christ to take action from a non-partisan perspective, the phone lines were opened.
We received our first caller, and he was frustrated. “I’m not praying for the Schumers, Bidens, and Pelosis of the world.” He knew in his heart that he was off-base because he asked the question after a minute of ranting — “Am I alright? Am I in the right space here?”
We moved on to more callers, one of whom had a surprisingly similar sentiment — how do we “pray for evil politicians?”

To start, it's important to pray for conversions because Sauls can turn to Pauls.
Therefore, I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. - 1 Timothy 2:1-4

It's no problem. Just pray Psalms 109:8
May his days be few and another take his office.

Amen. While they live, even the most vile of sinners may yet come to repentance and conversion.

I pray their evil plans are thwarted but also for their salvation as well.

You pray that God brings people to speak life into their lives and move them to repent and come back to God.
Determining someone is “evil” is judgement. Only God judges. It not for us to stand in judgement over other people. We can reject their conduct, admonish them to repent, but we are not to set ourselves up as judges.

Not only should we pray for them, we should let them know HOW we are praying for them.

>>Do We Really Have to Pray for Democrats?
NO! Absolutely NOT!
Unless you’re praying to increase the difficulties Trump is going to have to overcome.
Trump First! Let the Democrats go happily to hell.

You pray for individuals, not organizations.
You pray that God will change their hearts and minds but only if it is His plan to do so............

If you believe in the power of prayer, you pray for every soul.

“It’s no problem. Just pray Psalms 109:8
May his days be few and another take his office.”
Now, when dealing with DimbulbcRATz, that’s the perfect prayer.

Hate the sin. Love the sinner.
Their souls have been corrupted. Yes, pray for them.
It's what we have been told to do. By He who is Love. Never doubt the power of it.
