Does Satan Rule in the Kingdoms of Men and Should Christians Get Involved?: full transcript and answers
Gray boxes are our own short answers and summaries.
God is the final authority over governments; He raises up and removes kings and holds the king’s heart in His hand. Separation of church and state should not mean separating Christ’s moral laws from the nation, and God can call Christians into government.
Who has the final say over governments?
Short answer: Not parties, voters or Satan—Jesus told Pilate he would have no authority unless it were given from above.
▶ 0:00 Daniel said in the last days the house of God is going to be built in troublous times difficult times. The wicked will not understand. But the righteous will understand. All the world’s governments throughout the world where is their final source of power is it the democrat republican party in the usa. Is it the voters that vote for them. Is it socialism or communism in their nations. By military revolution. Is they dictators of monarchs and third world nations who really has the final say is it Satan. Ruling in the kingdom of men as many Christians believe they believe that the answer is found in John 19 verse 11 Jesus said to Pilate the roman delegated governor of Judea.

Short answer: They prayed daily; today’s politicians try to solve the pandemic and economy on their own instead of calling on God.
▶ 1:02 You would have no authority over me as Jesus stood before him. To be sentenced to die on the cross you would have no authority over me. If it were not given to you from above. God. Is the final. Deciding factor. In governments and their leaders. God himself is the final factor. Our founding fathers by the way prayed. When they found this nation and developed the constitution they prayed every day but our politicians aren’t praying they’re trying to solve this pandemic and economic problems all on their own none are suggesting that they get on their knees and call on a God who has the final say in any nation it is not the supreme court it is not congress it is not president Jesus Christ himself has the final say enough way would get on their knees and pray like Benjamin Franklin and those guys did back there we could have some answers today.
Why get involved if God decides?
Short answer: God removes and raises up kings, not Satan; all authority is from God and the king’s heart is in His hand.
▶ 2:20 If God decides who rules. Why get involved. Satan says all kingdoms are mine to give to whomsoever I want and the wealth of them. If God’s the final authority. Decision maker and he’s given Satan over the kingdoms why should I get involved. Daniel chapter 2 verse 21 God removes kings and raises up kings not Satan. In Romans 13:1 there is no government authority. No government authority except from God and appointed by God not Satan. God. Proverbs 21:1. The king’s heart. Is in the hand of the Lord.

— Proverbs 21:1 (NKJV)▶ Hear it at 2:20 (quoted; reference not named in the message)What is wrong with church-state separation as taught?
Short answer: It becomes Christ and Bible separation; we want Christ’s moral laws, not Catholics or Protestants, running America.
▶ 3:14 Like rivers of water he turns that heart wherever he wishes. So God is saying I have the power I have the authority. To change government’s thinking government’s heart government’s ways now why would not a congress. And most of them claim to be Christians not be calling for times of prayer every day instead of all that arguing going on in congress if they got on their knees and applied their christianity. I submit to you they would get some answers from above and change this nation. A lot of denominations. Do not believe in political involvement in America. They believe Satan rules the nations a lot of them teach church and state separation.
Can God call Christians to government?
Short answer: Yes—God designed government and rule by law; young people should study law and political science and get involved.
▶ 4:11 But what they mean is church Christ and Bible separation there is a difference we don’t want the catholics running America we don’t want the protestants running America we want Christ and his moral principles running America his moral laws there is a big difference. And we got to understand that difference and we’ve got to promote and back up our beliefs by speaking out for these things we need to encourage Christians to be civil leaders. And vote for justice in the circles where they prophesied and placed people into the body of Christ I was always disappointed. That they never called anyone to government it was always a singer a preacher a prophet it was always something like that but God who has.
▶ 5:13 The authority over government and who is the one that designed government. He was the one that initiated rule by law it was God and they never prophesied and I don’t hear it today and we need Christians of moral character. We need Christians with wisdom from above to be in office and no church that I know of is encourages and preaching for you young people go to college become a lawyer learn political science and get involved in government God can call you to that.
