No King in Israel

Judges 21:
25 In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes (KJV)
Dearest Saints,
I had no intention of sending anything further out upon the internet because I was not being told to. I still believe obedience to ABBA wins out over self doubt or the criticism of those who want us to perceive them as ”brethren”. Today I received a post that was preceded by this request below. For some reason I felt the need to respond with something to provoke thought and to point ”religious thinking” back to THE THRONE were ABBA sits with TRUTH AND WISDOM at HIS RIGHT AND LEFT HAND. You may call this a ”teaching” or even an ”article”. Titles matter little….as LONG as HIS WILL BE DONE. BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD.
Pray for our country for the socialists are trying to disarm us so the New World Order can come into existence by the year 2000. The One world Government spoken of in Revelation.
Greetings, Forgive me for asking this question. Or should I say questions….but as a true watchman it is necessary to walk in both TRUTH and WISDOM.
Is this request for prayer for the United States of America birthed from a desire to see America spared Righteous Judgement, or is it in obedience to THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT?
Is this request for prayer scripturally correct?
Is this request for prayer from the GIFT of DISCERNING the MOST HOLY SPIRIT?
Please do not jump to any answers. Pray first and listen…..please, to GOD.
Looking at the original request we are called to pray because of the ”actions” that would fulfill bible prophecy. In other words we are being called to pray against THE WORD OF GOD coming to pass. That is if you take this request at face value. Now most people think that any request for prayer and intercession must be ”of GOD”. I wished it were true. In fact most ”prayer” is carnal in America today. “Lord, give me this….in Jesus NAME”…..but not in HIS WILL. Too often our prayers are efforts to get us out of the mistakes we made. Or worse, our demand for GOD to MOVE where HE told us not to go.
So, the answer to the questions is simple….if we are listening to HIS VOICE and obeying HIS WILL we will pray as children led by THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT. We will not pray out of fleshly wants, or worse….out of fear. Scripture says we are to put on the WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD and use the SWORD of THE SPIRIT….which is our prayer for our fellow saints. No where have I found where we are to pray against socialists, capitalists, democrats or republicans. In reality to pray against flesh and blood is nothing more than witchcraft. Our prayer warfare was specifically targeted through Paul to the POWERS, PRINCIPALITIES, and SPIRITUAL RULERS in places very high and very dark.
Is GOD asking us to pray for the NATIONAL entity of AMERICA….or for the ”lost” in this once godly land? Would ABBA ask us to pray against men and not for them? Would a HOLY GOD call an obedient child to pray for the wicked and rebellious when other of HIS children are being persecuted by these same wicked and rebellious SEED OF THE SERPENT?
A year ago I was told to understand what Jeremiah was forced to deal with. That his nation and his people had gone too far….
Jeremiah 7:
16 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.
17 Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? (KJV)
Jeremiah 14:
10 Thus saith the Lord unto this people, Thus have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet, therefore the Lord doth not accept them; he will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.
11 Then said the Lord unto me, Pray not for this people for their good.
12 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.
13 Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.
14 Then the Lord said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.
15 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
16 And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them. (KJV)
Jeremiah 15:
1 Then said the Lord unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth.
2 And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the Lord; Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity.
3 And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the Lord: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.
4 And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
5 For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest?
6 Thou hast forsaken me, saith the Lord, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting. (KJV)
I pray as and when THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT leads…..to do other wise is only doing what is ”right in our own eyes”. Selah
