The Bible tells us specifically that it is one of God's jobs to promote certain people, according to His choosing, and to bring others down. Psalm 75:6-7 says, "For exaltation comes neither from the east nor from the west nor from the south. But God is the Judge: He puts down one, and exalts another."
Also, Daniel 2:20-21 says, "Daniel answered and said: 'Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and might are His. And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding."
Therefore, when you pray, ask God to raise up and bless every leader who suits His purposes for our nation--and to bring down every leader who does not.
It’s interesting in Genesis Satan used silence to perpetuate sin: “When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it” (Genesis 3:6). Earlier in chapter two, God told Adam not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. But when Eve receives the apple after telling Satan the wrong information, Adam could have said something. One correction of Adam, to tell the truth, could have changed everything. But his silence contributed to the sin just as much as just eating the apple. In today’s world, Christians remain silent not only in the world but also in the church.
