About this listen
1 Timothy 2:1 & 2, “First of all, then, I urge that requests, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made in behalf of all people, for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.”
One cause of shame in the lives of believers is acting against our conscience out of a sense of self-preservation
One of the most powerful examples I know of praying for authority is Sadrach, Meshach, Abednego, and Daniel praying for King Nebuchadnezzar.
Daniel Chapters 1- 4.
Basically, he was one of the most powerful individuals who ever lived. Whatever he wanted, he got. Whatever he said was the law, regardless of how unreasonable or reasonable it was. His hair trigger temper was infamous. The very fact that he built the statue to bow down to and he wanted to burn whoever didn’t in the furnace, the man was insane.
His salvation process and the way God did what He needed to do to get through to him is proof that they persisted in prayer and the fact that God did things to get him saved that had not been recorded before shows they did not lean to their own understanding. They did not tell God how to get this man converted. When they prayed for him, they just prayed for the end result.
I’m so impressed by their purity of heart that they just wanted him to have what they had, which was a relationship with God. They didn't pray for the short term. They prayed with the end result in mind.
