The nations of the world are groaning under the leadership of compromised leaders. God has a plan to bring transformation to those nations through a process of spiritual reformation.
I listened to an interview with the president of El Salvador. I realized I was listening to a man who desires to seek God. He is a reformer of his nation. El Salvador was the murder capital of the world on par with the violence taking place in Haiti. Under his leadership, El Salvador is now safer than many cities in the United States.
He was asked how this national transformation came about. In his national leadership meetings, he said, “We prayed and asked for God’s wisdom.” The answers to those prayers began to transform the highest levels of the government. At the time, the nation was under the rule of gangs like MS-13, who controlled the nation and its politics. Those gangs have begun to lose their grip on the nation. The president of El Salvador said the greatest conflict in his nation is a spiritual battle, just like what is happening in the United States.
Reformation is about influence. Each of us is called to respond with righteousness wherever we live and work in our respective nations to influence the people with our dedication to Godly principles.
The miracle in El Salvador is a model for all nations, including ours. When good people are in places of leadership the grip of national bondage is lessened and the citizens will begin to prosper in all areas of life.
The Lord has heard the groans of our nation and the prayers of His saints. He is positioning His reformers to begin a process of reform that will change our nation’s direction.
“When the godly are in authority, the people rejoice. But when the wicked are in power, they groan”(Proverbs 29:2).
