We are talking about faith that can lead us from spiritual heights unto spiritual heights unto the translative faith anointing.

The faith that Christ has called us unto is the faith of the Son of God, like the faith of Elijah the prophet. Remember Elijah stood against a whole nation to turn them back to God in Israel in his days. The majority of the people had followed the politically popular god called Baal, which was introduced to the country by Queen Jezebel. As always, the public usually dance to the tune of Celebrities, and the Israelites would like to be familiar with the Queen also. Jezebel had 450 Baal prophets and another 400 prophets of the groves. (1Kgs.18: 19). They carried the crowd. Elijah stood against them and for one faithful day of mount Carmel showdown, the 450 prophets of Baal were slain by the public in support of Elijah. This is a manifestation of the faith that can change political minds and social minds.

Take for example what is going on in America, whereby the sodomites are coming out of their closets and publicly are marching in the streets that they are proud to be homosexuals. Know plainly that there are satanic forces, which are leading those crowds. Evil forces are spearheading those movements. The only force that can knock down those movement is the force of the authority of God, and that force of the saints is not by marching against them, but by the force of spiritual arms of the saints of God in prayer and spiritual authority, binding the satanic forces that are leading the sodomites.

Saints of God must rise up in prayer and get the evil spirits arrested in the spirit and cast them back into the pit of hell from where they came. That is the force that can change political situations in any land. The faith, which Christ has called us unto, is mighty enough to pull down strongholds. This is what Apostle Paul was talking about: the faith that can pull down strongholds, because we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Eph. 6: 12).

You may think of changing the situation in the Supreme Court when the justices are voting against godly morals. We saints of God have more power and authority to change the course of events in those places by spiritual decree, in as long as the Lord God leave us here. We are the light of the world. We can be effectual by travailing prayer and fasting, and bind those devils so that the justices can think straight. All the lopsided arguments are because the devils have blinded the mind of the people to the truth. We must bind those devils and cast them out of the places, because this is a spiritual warfare. We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the forces of darkness. We wrestle not against those homosexual men and women, but we wrestle against the spirits controlling them. We must wrestle against them with spiritual power to be effective, by intercessory prayer in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. We must do this at the midnight hour, in the dead of night when those spirits are moving about also. The scripture says God seals instruction in the heart of men in the night hours. The devils also attack people on their beds to twist their minds in the wee hours. Saints of God must redeem the time in the night hours also. We’ve got to do this by hunger and thirst, by prayer and fasting. That is what moves the hand of God, and those demons will bow, because they are expected to be under our feet. Satan is expected to be under the feet of the saints of God. The Lord Jesus gave us this authority. He said, "whosoever sins ye remit shall be remitted, and whosoever sins ye retain, shall be retained." "Whatsoever ye shall bound on earth, shall be bound in heaven". This is the power in the faith of the saints of the Most High God that can change political situations and social atmosphere of cities, and nations. This is what God expects us to use much more than trying to go into politics to effect this change in attempting to legislate morality. It may be okay to go argue these cases in the courts of law, however you still need the spiritual power to defeat the forces of evil which are ganged up to pervert the mind of the nations.

For an example, in 1979 there was a political election in my country of origin and a major political figure was running for the presidency. I usually stay away from politics and watch only in the spirit. During the political campaign, I was given a spiritual vision in which I saw this beloved political figure imported a witch-spirit to captivate the public during the campaign. In the vision, as the witch spirit was magically captivating the public, I rebuked the devil in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the witch-spirit was smitten. The captivated public scattered from following the political figure. When I saw this vision, I went into my closet and took authority over the campaign. As truly as the vision revealed, this political figure traveled to India before the campaign began and he announced that he was going for "spiritual renewal". That was how he went to import the witch-spirit by "talisman". Yea, we wrestle not against flesh and blood when we deal with these politicians, whoever they are. Saints of God, grow up spiritually and get into the prayer closet and wield your power with God!

For another example, now that I am in America, I have been given spiritual occasions to see what’s taking place in Washington DC. Sometime ago I was given a vision wherein I went into this public park, the entrance of which was guarded by a great monument of an eagle (symbolizing the American eagle). I decided to seat under the monument of this eagle to pray. As I sat down, a government official (security agent) was coming out of the park, and he saw me where I sat, and said, "No! no one is allowed to come in here. It is being cleared because the Chinese are coming!" I stood up trying to respect this security agent, but I became reluctant to leave when I heard the reason that "the Chinese are coming". Then I saw outside the fence that many other citizens who had been cleared out of the park were complaining to me (still inside the park) that they won’t let us pray inside there, just because the Bhuddists are coming. Then I saw that it was more of religious warfare. When I awake from the vision, I stood against the Bhuddist spirit, which was gaining favor at Washington.

Why was I shown the vision? So that I can take action against the force of darkness. As truly as the vision revealed, the following day in the news, I saw on television, on "Today at NBC" broadcast, the weather man was showing a bunch of American women who had adopted Chinese babies. I said to myself, "Oh, Oh, the vision; the Chinese are coming!" Some days later, there was an accusation about the campaign contribution from the Bhuddists temple to the Presidents campaign. That was how the Chinese were attempting to influence the US government, and the US government was making room spiritually for the Bhuddists. Yea, these things are not just physical occurrences. We wrestle against spiritual wickedness in high places. These men in authority do not know what they are doing most of the time. But when we Saints are on the spiritual guard, we can neutralize the forces of evil and cause to be exposed what evil the devil has planned in the spirit, which is already taking effect in the physical. We can change the course of nations for God by spiritual intervention in fasting and prayer. (2 Chr.7: 14).

Christ said, where is your faith? In all spheres of life, we can apply our faith. For healing of the body, for casting out devils, for material provision, our faith can be applied to get the result we desire. Faith is what we ought to use regularly. Not once in a while! For salvation, faith in Jesus Christ gave us salvation. For controlling the weather, for controlling the elements: look at the type of events that do occur and men are just at the mercy of the whirlwind or hurricane. As saints of God, we ought not to be at the mercy of the hurricane or tornado. The hurricane has to be obedient to us, for we know from the scriptures that the Lord Jesus Christ controlled the storms on the sea. When he said "peace, be still", the waters and the wind obeyed him. Those hurricanes and tornadoes ought not to be touching down where ever the saints of God are present to rebuke it.

If you listener is a child of God, and you are in a city where a hurricane or tornado is expected to touch down and demolish houses, you have the right as a child of God to resist it in prayer, and by spiritual authority. You shall decree what you want and it shall be so. That is the power and the authority of the saints of God. Check yourself and be sure you are abiding in Christ. For he said, "if ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." (Jn.15: 7). He said again, "if ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it." So, whether it is hurricane, or tornado, or rain or stormy wind, we saints of God have the right to ask the Father to divert them away from our path.

We all need such simple child-like faith, which does not rationalize away the power of God.

The Lord Jesus Christ honored the child-like faith of my daughter on that day, and He will honor your faith also. Learn to walk with Him and obey his word. All things are possible to him that believeth.

As I said before, "Lo this, we have searched it, so it is. Hear it and know thou it for thy good," that the Lord Jesus Christ is the head of all principality and power. And when we are in Christ, we are seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. God has invested a lot of investment in us, Christians, when he planted the Holy Ghost in us. He wants us to cooperate with the Holy Ghost so that He can bear fruits and manifest his power in us. When he wants you to fast and to pray and to wake up in the dead of night, do it. Because that is how he will get the anointing upon you, to be built up in you so that you can control things to the glory of God, or to change events to the glory of God. So, when God wants somebody to intercede to effect situations in a nation or in a city, He will find that somebody in you that he can use. God wants to do things through you, through your mouth, through the power he wants to put in you if you will let him. You’ve got to make yourself available to God. Remember a similar thing in the book of Isaiah chapter 6. After the prophet Isaiah’s mouth has been touched and his iniquity cleansed, he heard God saying, "whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" And Isaiah the prophet answered, "Here am I, send me." (Isa.6: 8). God is looking for people to intercede to change events, to change the course of nations, to change the social mind of people. He is asking "whom will I send?" Make your body available for God to use. This is the faith Christ is calling us unto that can change political situation in nations or social minds of people.

In the next sermon, I will go into faith for supernatural protection. May the Lord guide your heart into all these truth.
