What Romans 13 Actually Says About Government

Added: 2026-05-28

[00:00:00]Let every soul be subject to the higher powers. For there is no power but of God. The powers that be are ordained of God. And I want you to understand that we said all powers of the world is subject to God. And one of the best ways to see this is at the very beginning when God tells Moses to go and speak to Pharaoh. And he said, "I want you to go to speak to Pharaoh." And Moses goes into Pharaoh, but God says, "When you tell him to let my people go, I am going to harden his heart and he's not going to let my people go." And then you see this battle going on and it's really God. Moses is saying, "Uh if you don't let the people go, I'm going to do this." And then God will harden Pharaoh's heart and Pharaoh will say, "I'm not going to let him go." And then Moses will put the plague on and Pharaoh will say, "Okay, I'm going to let him go." And then uh then uh when Moses take the plague off then God will harden Pharaoh's heart and don't let him go.

[00:00:47]And this process is going on and on. So, when God says whoever's in power, he's the one that put him there. God put the powers there for his purpose whether they're on the good side or the bad side. And so, this is why you see so many Christians like this president is not my president. And I'm not serving that president. I don't care what nobody say. Well, don't say you're of God because it doesn't matter whether it was Trump, whether it was Biden. God said all the powers that are in power, he put them there. Just like King Saul wouldn't have been in power as a king unless God put him there. King David wouldn't have been in power unless God put him there.

[00:01:18]You could go go back to Nebuchadnezzar.

[00:01:19]You go back to Osiris. God said Cyrus was my servant. So, when you start looking at these things, we don't even really have a full idea of who God really is. That God is controlling the whole board because it's all of these
