This election could be the most important, crucial, life changing event of this nation. We are going to decide if we want a socialist/communist government or a democratic free nation. We are going to vote as to whether or not we have the freedom to worship as we have. We are going to vote for our children's future.
But more important is that there is a spiritual battle for the very soul of America.
Are we Christians like the people of Israel who were looking for a messiah to deliver them from Roman rule? Are we looking for a messiah who will make everything right that has been taken away? No one person, group of people, no one political party, is going to be able to right what is wrong with our nation. It is a spiritual problem, a sin problem, a problem of the heart. Men's hearts need to be changed. Only God can change hearts. Only a nation wide turning back to God will deliver us. Even with such a revival, we Christians could still be under persecution. The Kingdom will increase even, or because of persecution.
We are first and foremost citizens of the Kingdom of God. When we pray like Jesus taught we pray for His Kingdom to come and for God's will to be done on earth as it is in Heaven. God's Kingdom is not a Democratic government nor is it a Republican government. Are we praying for His will to be done in our hearts, in our nation?
I know many are going to pout and say that because I don't like either choice I'm just not going to vote. Kind of childish, don't you think? Not voting is voting and you may not like who you put in office. Like you, I am an American who God chose to live in this free country and I will exercise my right, duty, privilege and vote.
As the saying goes, Freedom isn't free, every generation has to pay the price. I, like many of you, have had family members who have served in the military, and some have given their lives for freedom. Are you going to make their sacrifice of no value by not exercising your right and privilege by pouting and not vote? SHAME ON YOU. Read the platform of each candidate and see if there are some stands that flat out go against what you believe. This may surprise you. Just know that no person is perfect. We, they, have and do make mistakes.
Pray for this our country, its leaders (1 Timothy 2:1-2). Pray against the tidal wave of evil filth that is overcoming this nation. Pray that people will do what is right. Pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit that will turn men's and women's hearts to Jesus.
Remember this ... JESUS IS RETURNING SOON. ARE YOU READY FOR HIS APPEARING?
