Dan 2:21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
Dan 2:22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.
And we think we are electing a President. For my Christian brothers and sisters, are you seeking the Lord as it pertains to this election? He will put into office whichever of these candidates that he chooses. In fact the choice has already been made. If we will humble ourselves in prayer and truly listen for the voice of God, the Voice of TRUTH, we will hear loud and clearly who it is that he wants. Think of it, God is not telling each person to vote for a different candidate. If we truly were seeking to please God with our vote, you would see each CHRISTIAN vote for the same person. There would be no division between brother and sister in Christ as to who it was who should be President.
In order for all Christians to be on the same page in this election it takes three things.
1. Prayer
(Jas 5:16) Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
While James is speaking about physical healing, and some would argue spiritual healing, we can apply this appropriately to every prayer for every concern. The key is Righteousness. Our own righteousness is as filthy rags, so we need the Righteousness of Christ.
2. We need to know the voice of God. Often times believers, or those who claim to be believers, will say that God told them to do such and such, however, if we are truly hearing His voice, it will be the same across the board to every believer. Talk about a lop-sided victory, no matter the party the affiliation.
3. Humility
Wow what a weird thing, why humility when it comes to voting? Simple, without humility, pride says that I have to vote one way because my Union says so, or I have to vote this way because I go to church. My family always votes democrat or republican. And Pride says I am gonna have my say! We all have our reasons for voting one party or another, and I am sure no matter your party affiliation, they are well reasoned. But let me say this, How is God voting? If we are believers, who fear God, we had better be on board with Him. All of our elected officials are hirelings. Not because they want to be but, because we are the HR department. And just like Israel, we want a king who will look or talk a certain way, instead of keeping with God being our King. Well, look no further than the story of Saul in 1 Samuel. God told Israel what they would get when they chose a king. And they got it.
With this election we have an opportunity. We will get either blessings or punishment. It matters not who is in office, God sees the heart of this nation and its unrepentance.
Be in prayer. Hear HIS Voice. Be Humble.
