Christians that live under corrupt regimes are rarely influential enough to overthrow them. Of course, God is all powerful and bring about regime change with no problem at all. I'm old enough to remember the amazing collapse of the USSR and the end of the Berlin Wall. All it takes is for the church to unite and pray diligently. Ugh. And therein lies the problem....
Derek Prince said that a democratic nation gets the government that it prays for. The church appears to have gone missing in the last decade or so.
12 Timothy 2
1First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be offered for everyone — 2for kings and all those in authority—so that we may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity.…
"First of all....."
Very few rebellions result in a regime superior to the one it replaces. God asks us to trust Him and to depend on His ability to deal with the wicked.
that's a good point. Prayers can achieve more, be more effective
Paul said nothing is unlawful but not 'll things are helpfhl. Maybe the question is not so.much whether rebellions are sinful but whether they are effective or not
