When God Commands the Nations, then they respond to Him. We do
not have any ‘prayer authority’ over Nations rather we should be interceding
for Nations. Sometimes I hear people
praying commands toward God and it really makes me feel difficult. Who are we
to command God? When we do that it makes us ‘god’ and God our servant.
