<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Tell Them, "Keep Your Gifts! - Karen Hardin</strong></span></p>
<p>Dear City Intercessor,</p>
<p>In biblical days, Daniel was confronted and tempted several times to take a bribe. He was also threatened to remain silent and bow to ungodliness. It is no different than what many of our governmental officials face today.</p>
<p>Those in leadership positions both city, state and federally who have boldly spoken out against criminality taking place in our nation and stood for truth have been targeted by those jealous and intent to remove them.</p>
<p>(If you haven’t read my book “Infected: How to Stop the Global Spread of Rage, Deception and Insanity”<a href="https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001KN9wmzx_XEZdFTQHgCj4Ga5gkLUdW5VX52SwKMn2u1edvWSVw2hp1h2No0f4_P47U4nNWe9uOxuXfmbB5-NOIDLGsmXb_P7_qaDED3IlNm0NjAxX2Gl5PS-eQMNRSt-hYs0znnV0s4NmY_j1crMsZ5ZeojKUyI-T&amp;c=-4EY51t2Lh6Hds-AFOaEY9aJ_DwT2a84tHWJYQELlJYeM8U09kwNMw==&amp;ch=f8me0gBnWdi87fJPq4ZU97856dl4T7lAU5MUMryvOyj2KiV0Xa5mNg=="> click here</a> to read chapter one. Jealousy is at the beginning stage of infection!)</p>
<p>How we respond to these threats and bribes determines both our outcome and in part, theirs.</p>
<p>In the days of King Belshazzar (who reigned after Nebuchadnezzar) a disembodied hand was seen writing 4 words on the wall. Daniel was offered a large gift to interpret the words.</p>
<p>Daniel didn’t hesitate in his response to the king as he said, “Keep your gifts!” before giving the interpretation.</p>
<p>Americans and others across the globe find ourselves in an era in which people are being either threatened or bribed to change their vote or their stance.</p>
<p>However, if we bow, we subject ourselves to the same judgement Belshazzar experienced when the hand of God wrote, “Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin.” Which means, “God has numbered your kingdom and put an end to it. You have been weighed on the scales and found deficient. Your kingdom has been divided…”</p>
<p>As we pray for our city, state and nation this week along with our officials, let us pray that they (and we) will be able to stand with courage and say, “Keep your gifts!”</p>
