WE MUST OBEY THE BIBLE AS IT IS WRITTEN

Everything that is happening in this world revolves around money and politics, and for the people that believe because they are Christians they do not need to VOTE you are wrong.   It is the duty and responsibility of every Christian to VOTE and to VOTE for leaders who promote Christian principles. God is most certainly in control, but that does not mean we should do nothing to further His will. We are commanded to pray for our leaders (1 Timothy 2:1-4). Regarding politics and leadership, there is evidence in Scripture that God has been offended with our choices of leadership at times (Hosea 8:4). The proof of sin’s grip on this world is everywhere. Much of the suffering on earth is because of pagan leadership (Proverbs 28:12). Scripture gives Christians instructions to obey legitimate authority unless it contradicts the Lord’s commands (Acts 5:27-29; Romans 13:1-7). As born-again believers, we ought to strive to choose leaders who will be themselves led by our Creator (1 Samuel 12:13-25). Candidates or proposals that violate the Bible’s commands for life, family, marriage, or faith should never be supported (Proverbs 14:34). Christians should vote as led through prayer and study of both God’s Word and the realities of the choices on the ballot.

Father, we acknowledge You today as Lord, Not only of individuals but of nations and governments.  We thank You for the privilege Of being able to organize ourselves politically.  Lord, we are petitioning You for the future of our country.  Father, please help us choose a President that will allow You to work with them to save the people and this country.  Lord, we pray for justice for all individuals and for righteousness in the heart of those who we elect and those that are already in positions of Authority.  Lord return this country to the Christians who’s lives and backs it was built on and teach us to accept the knowledge of the truth.  Father, help us live up to the slogan “The Land Of The Free” as we learn to live in harmony.  Lord help all Christians, understand that we do not harbor HATE in our hearts.  Father, help us realize that we are destroying our country with prejudice, injustice, and hate.  Father give the leaders of America wisdom that this country must practice what they preach to other nations, or we will lose the little respect America still has. Lord, we thank You for Your law, Which our Founding Fathers acknowledged And recognized as higher than any human law.  Lord, we pray that Your people may be awakened. Let them realize that while politics is not their salvation, Their response to You requires that they be politically active.   Lord, we thank You for the right to exercise our solemn duty not only to vote, but to influence countless others to vote, And to vote correctly. Father, we come to You as humble as we know how asking You to SAVE YOUR PEOPLE and our Country.  In Jesus wonderful name AMEN
