1TIM2:2NKJV Therefore I [a]exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in [b]authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and [c]reverence. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Strife, war, riots - shuts down the work of the Great Commission and the pure and undefiled religion before the Father. therefore we stand on the wall and pry for peace and take authority over demonic activity.
