Previous knowledge given to us by the Spirit of GOD:
At
this House of Commons , decisions are being approved; issues and matters are
being debated and deliberated; laws are being legislated; the work of the
government are being scrutinised.
What Then Are These “Laws”?
Diverse dictionary meaning - They are systematic and set of rules and
regulations of a particular country or nation being passed on to its members to
adhere to or to comply with. (Paraphrase). Synonyms of the word “laws” – act;
statute; decree; edict; command etc.
So since the Most High GOD delights/rules in the affairs of men (Dan
4:17), what does the Bible say about laws? What is the verdict of Our
King-Servant concerning the laws of nations?
Psalm 19: 7-9 (KJV) – 7The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the
soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the
simple. 8The statues of the LORD are right, rejoicing the
heart: the commandment of the
LORD is pure,
enlightening the eyes. 9The fear of the LORD is clean enduring forever:
the judgements of the LORD
are true and righteous
altogether.
Romans 7: 12 & 14a
(KJV) – 12Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. 14For
we know that the law is spiritual;
Therefore, biblical laws
are a holy system of commandments, testimony, statues and judgements that are
meant to be observed by all nations and all people (for GOD is the Creator of
all people).
Insight/search
into how the laws of United Kingdom are being legislated:
- The proposal to a new law or the proposal to change an existing law that is presented for debate before Parliament is called a bill.
- The passage of a bill starts at the House of Commons (or it could start from House of Lords)
- House of Commons
- First reading (Commons)
- Second reading (Commons)
- Committee stage (Commons)
- Report stage (Commons)
- Third reading (Commons)
It is
then passed to the House of Lords
- House of Lords
- First reading (Lords)
- Second reading (Lords)
- Committee stage (Lords)
- Report stage (Lords)
- Third reading (Lords)
·
The bill then goes through Consideration
of amendments. This is the agreement of the exact wordings of the bill by
both houses. In exceptional cases, when the two houses do not reach an
agreement, the bill falls. If certain conditions are met, the Commons can use
the Parliament Acts to pass the bill, without the consent of the Lords. If the Lords disagree with any Commons
amendments, or makes alternative proposals, then the bill is sent back to the
Commons. A bill may go back and forth between each house until both houses
reach an agreement.
·
Once the Commons and Lords agree on the final
version of the bill, it can receive Royal Assent
and become an Act of
Parliament (the proposals of the bill now become “LAWS”). Royal
Assent is the Monarch's agreement to make the bill into an Act and is a
formality. There is no set time period between the consideration of amendments
to the bill and Royal Assent – it can even be a matter of minutes after the
agreement of both houses is completed.
Prayers:
- Thank You, JESUS for where your Spirit is, there is liberty. Praise GOD that we cried that the Holy Spirit should go forth and engulf the whole of the House of Parliament, as well as rest on the seats and the LORD who answers by fire, heard us.
- Because the Spirit of GOD dwells at the House, we decree that bills or laws being deliberated upon, will become holy, just and good according to the will of GOD – Romans 7:12.
- It is written that the law of the LORD is perfect, converting souls - Psalm 19:7. Therefore, let every law being passed begin to set men/women free from every national bondage/captivity. As the testimony of the LORD is sure, thereby making wise the simple, let there be a divine turn-around to the foolishness for every law, in favour of the people of GOD in UK in the name of Jesus.
- It is also written that the statues of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; and the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes – Psalm 19:8. As the LORD lives and His Spirit is alive in the House of Parliament in UK, let every law that is suppressing the Gospel of GOD, be revoked; and let the reason and manifestation for which Christ Jesus came in the flesh begin to bind up the broken-hearted and to recover the sight of the blind – Isaiah 61:1-3 and Luke 4:18-19.
- Again, it is written that the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; the judgements of the LORD are true and righteous altogether – Psalm 19:9. Because the Spirit of GOD abides in the House of Parliament, let the heart of all the law-makers be captivated by the fear of the LORD; and let righteousness reign over every injustice towards the people in UK. Let the TRUTH (which is JESUS Himself) prevail over every selected committee concerning “freedom of belief” – so that there will be freedom to express the Word of GOD, and freedom to accept/reject, not seeing believers as enforcing religion in Jesus’ name.
- LORD JESUS, as the laws of the kingdom of Medes and Persian could not stop Daniel from serving You – Daniel 6:1-28 – let not the laws of UK, passed by man, be able to hinder/delay/obstruct the propagation of the GOOD NEWS in this nation in the name of Jesus.
- Whether it is the new bills/laws after the swearing-in of the present 2015 Parliament members or the carried-over from the previous Parliamentary sessions, as the signet ring of King Darius and that of his lords could not seal the life of Daniel in the lion’s den [Daniel 6:16] – O LORD JESUS, You who reign supreme above every monarch of UK who has the final authorisation to every bill/law, rise up against every bill/law being made that is in contrast to your word, your will and your plan for UK in the name of Jesus.
- Isaiah 8:10 (ISV) – Take counsel together, but it will all be for nothing; go ahead and talk [deliberate, converse; dialogue], but it will all be for nothing, for our own GOD is with us {EMMANUEL}. Therefore Holy Spirit, as they take counsel together over these laws, let it come to nought but let the counsel of Emmanuel prevail. Let the Cross of Jesus, cross-out every earthly law that is in contrast to GOD’s laws for UK in the name of Jesus.
- ABBA FATHER, before whom we stand and cry out, let ALL the laws of United Kingdom, be in line with the LAWS OF GOD! Holy Spirit, help in accordance to these decrees being observed and obeyed – Deut. 4:6 (NLT).
