These so called ‘leaders’ are being given over to their own wicked desires to do things which make no sense whatsoever and harm those under their authority. They have pushed God as far out of their vile consciousness as they possibly can and we are all witnesses to the results.
“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; . .” Romans 1:28
This is not a battle against flesh and blood. This kind will only be defeated with much prayer and fasting.
