TWEEK YOUR BRAIN - SERIOUSLY!

We are down to the wire.

I just got an email – no kiddin' – from Joe Biden. Well, I guess it is likely from a team writer and his name it is on it. Is he really still out there? Anyway, the Democrats are scampering. Even heard how democrats are apologizing and falling all over themselves to put distance between them and Obama's team. So, I believe there can be restoration out there. But let's not look at just what we can do. Let's seek what God can do through this election!

Let's not take this lightly. Read II Chronicles 7:14 – "¹⁴ if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." We really need this to happen. We sincerely need God to hear us.

I am reading the book "Radical" by David Platt. The idea that the church of Christ was built on prayer and meager men; afraid of authorities, yet filled with the Spirit through their prayer; enabling them to be bold, strong and wise…blows me away. I have always known that, but reading it again, it clicked. It is not about us. It is about God.

So, we seek Him...humiliate ourselves before Him and offer up our forgiveness.

Then, we pray for wisdom. A wise man of God, very in-tune with these elections, passed the following scriptures to me. Read in full these passages: Exodus 18:13-26; Deuteronomy 1:9-18.

Here is Exodus 18:20-21:

²⁰ Teach them the decrees and laws, and show them the way to live and the duties they are to perform. ²¹ But select capable men from all the people—men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain—and appoint them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens.

When you sit/stand before your ballot with your list of state questions and candidates, it is not just a box. It is not – NOT – just a party, club or color…no you are voting the future!

It is time we back away from the donkeys and elephants and notice all the people behind them!

America is not – NOT – what it is becoming! But "when good people do nothing…" or worse, when good people mindlessly and robotically vote….SHAME ON US! SHAME!

IT IS NOT ABOUT SEPERATION OF CHURCH AND STATE!! Never did God ever intend for this to be the case! No. Throughout scripture we are to pray for our leadership, our leadership is to seek the Lord and we are to uplift them no matter – but when they defile the position of leadership we are not to support them. Who cares what card you carry! Your allegiance is God alone.

So, hopefully, over the last two years you have been awakened! Hopefully, you have the scales pried from your eyes! Hopefully, you have sense about your person and you are going to go to the voting booth with wisdom from God, common sense from conversation and a foundation of the Constitution directing how to vote.

The next posts will include some of our thoughts here at Church-andState.blogspot.com regarding the state questions and candidates.

UNTIL THEN….THINK, DAWG GONE IT!
