Chuck and I are in Wilkesboro, NC attending a conference sponsored by Steven Brooks International Ministries.  Last night and for the second morning session today Neville Johnson of Australia preached.  Neville has a strong prophetic gift and he has had a strong burden for the US for 5 years.

Today he said something that really was pertinent.  He said “What we condone, we come under the power of.”  That especially goes for those in authority.  If you are under a President, Pastor, CEO, or a ministry that condones abortion, homosexuality, greed, etc then they give free range for those spirits to operate. (I personally think if that authority has knowledge of these things operating among them and do not deal with those sins and ignore their existence, it is the same as condoning them)  So if our president condones abortion then you can expect that the spirit of murder and violence will have free range in our country.  If the president or your pastor condones same sex marriages or homosexuality then he/she gives free range for those spirits to operated among you and even in your home while you are under their authority.

Now I do believe that the mercy and grace of God protects us many times in our ignorance, but that just really brings home that you best be careful who you come under as an authority.  It also makes it crucial that we know what our candidates believe and cast our vote for righteousness and not what we think he can do for us. I for one want to be under the authority of the Holy Spirit. That is the only spirit I want to have power over my home, my family and my country.
