主題:為美國更換最高法院法官禱告
日期:2016年2月15日
作者:Dutch Sheets

許多信徒並不清楚最高法院法官被替換的過程。總統可以來任命一個人,通常是一個聯邦法院的法官,來承接最高法院法官的席位。參議院的委員會與此人會面,向他們提出關於他們是否適任的種種問題。如果他們喜歡所聽到的回應,他們就將之轉介到整個參議院來投票核準。參議院的批准意味著他們終此餘生都將被任命為大法官。在稀有的情況下,在參議院休息或休會時,總統就自行任命。由於參議院本週正在休會,無論哪種情況都可能是替換Antonin Scalia大法官的情況。這是一個非常重要的決定!

義人增多,民就喜樂;惡人掌權,民就歎息。“(箴言29:2)

為祂擺上15分鐘來禱告

  • 禱告奧巴馬總統不會在本週參議院休會期間自行填補這一個重要的位置,而是遵照正確的規程。禱告在神的最佳時機來任命這個新法官。
  • 保守派具多數席位的參議院憂慮任命自由派的大法官。請求神在這件事上賜給國家領導人方向。
  • 禱告參議院核準委員會對於總統送到他們這兒來的任何提名者的調查過程中,具有從上面而來的智慧。

你可以做的禱告:

天父,任命一名終生職的最高法院法官是一個非常嚴肅的事情,事實確是如此。我們請求你在這個過程當中全然掌權,主。我們宣告,替換的時間是主你自己定的。袮對於任何任命所會帶來的衝擊比我們都清楚。賜給參議院巨大的智慧讓他們的詢問可以顯明這些被任命者的真正動機,從而使這個國家的人民不至承受不公義的判決。奉耶穌的名,阿門。

今日的宣告:

美國最高法院的這場爭戰是屬於主的,法院並不屬於任何人!

Replacing a Supreme Court Justice

Many Believers are unaware of the process by which a Supreme Court Justice is replaced. A President gets to appoint an individual, usually a judge in another federal court, for an open seat on the Supreme Court. A Senate committee then meets with this individual to ask them questions regarding their fitness for this position. If they like what they hear, they refer them to a confirmation vote of the entire Senate. The Senate’s approval means they are appointed as a Justice for the rest of their lives. On a rare occasion, a President makes an appointment when the Senate is on a break (or recess). Either situation could be the situation that replaces Justice Antonin Scalia, since the Senate is on recess this week. This is a very important decision!

“Show me a righteous ruler and I will show you a happy people. Show me a wicked ruler and I will show you a miserable people.” (Proverbs 29:2; GNT)

Give Him 15 minutes in prayer:

  • Pray that President Obama will not fill this important position during this week’s Senate recess, but rather to allow the proper process to take place. Pray for God’s perfect timing of the seating of a new Justice.
  • The largely conservative Senate is concerned about making an appointment of a liberal Justice. Ask God to provide direction to the nation’s leadership in this matter.
  • Pray that the Senate Confirmation Committee will have wisdom from above in their investigation process of any nominations the President sends to them.

A prayer you can pray:

Father, the appointment of a Supreme Court Justice who will sit on the court for the rest of their lives is a very serious matter, indeed. We are asking You to be the One in control of this process, Lord. We say that the timing of the replacement is the Lord’s. You know the impact better than we do of any appointment that’s made. Give the Senate great wisdom in their questioning to reveal the true motive of those appointed, so that the people of this nation do not suffer under unrighteous judgement. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

Today’s decree:

This battle for the Supreme Court of the United States is the Lord’s and the Court belongs to no man!
