Prayers That Activate Blessings

As this Scripture passage says, when you are carnally minded, you are not able to be subject to law and authority. Your mind is ruled by the flesh and determined to go its own way, but at the end of that is destruction (Prov. 16:25). Some people can't prosper because of their minds. They are fleshly. But when you are spiritually minded and have submitted your thoughts to the Lord's authority, you will have life and peace, life and prosperity, life and life more abundantly. God wants you, as a saint of God, to renew your mind (Rom. 12:1-2). He wants you to be renewed in the spirit of your mind, because "as [a man] thinketh in his heart, so is he" (Prov. 23:7, KJV). Parents, pastor, professors, local and federal government officials, and boss—whether you like them or not—are whom you are subject to on the earth. You are to pray for them. You are to submit yourself to their instruction and commands as long as they do not stand in direct conflict with God's laws. Don't think that because you don't like your pastor, boss, governor, or even the president that you don't have to respect their authority. Jesus said to give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's. Even when you don't agree with the ruling authority in the natural realm does not mean that God has not sat that person there for a season and a reason. God establishes the authority in the earth and removes it in His time (Dan. 2:21; Prov. 21:2; 1 Chron. 29:11-12). WHO IS YOUR AUTHORITY?
