Many will go to the poles this year and vote without a thought of God’s will concerning the matter. Many Christians will vote republican or democrat because that is what they are. How many will vote as a Christian? I understand the ballet doesn’t give us the option of “Christian” only republican and democrat. However, voting as a Christian we would not be voting democrat or republican. We would be voting for the candidate who stands for godly morals.
I have spoken to Christians who will vote on race preference. Many of the African Americans will vote for the Obama because he is African American, and this is a mark in history for their race. This is mindless voting. There are some charismatic ministers, who were asked the question on how they were going to vote. One responded, “Well abortion is really no longer an issue.” Wow! How can killing babies no longer be an issue? How can partial birth abortions, where they decapitate the baby as their head comes out of the womb, no longer be an issue? How can the issue of teenage girls being allowed to cross state lines and get an abortion without their parents consent not be an issue? How can the issue of promoting homosexual education not be an issue?
The media just recently reported a first grade class being taken to a lesbian wedding as part of their curriculum. How can this not be an issue? How can traditional marriage in the states not be an issue? How can parental rights in Education not be an issue? How can preaching the Word of God regarding the homosexual life style and getting arrested for it not be an issue? Where is the church?!!!
Listen, I don’t have to pray about who to vote for. I vote for the candidate who stands for godly morals. How do I know who really stands for godly morals, especially when they both have been caught in lies. We know that candidates will say anything to get voted in. Then after they are elected they will be who they are. You can know a candidate for who they are by their position citation, by their voting history. Do some research and find out who stands for what.
Please do not go to the poles mindlessly!
I Timothy 2:1-4
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
Apostle Paul is telling us to pray for all men and then he tells us what men he is talking about. It’s good and acceptable in the sight of God that we pray for our country’s leaders because it matters who is in leadership over our country concerning men coming to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. It maters that we pray for the right person to get into office and continue to pray for them while in office. We don’t have to like them to pray for them. The heart of the king is in the hand of God and He moves it which ever way He wills, Proverbs 21:1. If the wrong man goes in office this will hinder the Kingdom of God going forth to bring in the precious fruit of the earth.
God takes care of His, we will increase no matter what condition our economy is in. Our economy, and promises to fix it, is not an issue to a Christian, but the heart of God for our nation is. Financial prosperity comes from righteousness. When this nation follows after God and His ways, then we will see the economic status change for the better.
Let them who have ears to hear take heed. I find it interesting that many of our ministers got hit with accusation, this year, of robbing the people of their money. Ken Copeland, Creflo Dollar, Fred Price, Joyce Meyer and others were accused this year. These is election year and these ministers have great influence over the church. Can you see the strategy here? If they lose their creditability with the people they lose their godly influence.
Pray for our nation for the sake of the lost.
