“Your Vote is Anointed”
Tuesday, November 4th is voting day in America, and Ohio, in spite of the world’s rhetoric, and the liberal politicians smear campaigns we as Christians have a duty to vote for the candidates that most support the Christian ethic and standards. We also need to examine the candidates stand on moral and Constitutional issues.
Our God-given rights, our liberties are under bombardment by the special interest groups, and enemies of the first, second and fourth amendments of our Constitution. For this reason, and for the future of our grandchildren we must exercise the right, privilege, and duty to vote out the ones that have taken America to the brink of disaster, voting for those who stand up for Christ, our rights, and liberties is a vote for the future freedoms of those who will also be given the right to vote in their generations.
Hear the Word of the Lord:
Psalms 33:10-12
10. The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
11. The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
Psalms 147:20
20. He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.
Proverbs 14:34
34. Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
You may be under the assumption that your single vote won’t matter, however, when one considers how many Christians may think that way and not vote, how many votes were then granted to the liberals by that non-voting action?
In our State alone there are approximately 8.16 million registered voters; in the Ohio elections for the Governor, 7,715,103 people voted. Consider the impact if all of them voted in the national election 2 years ago, instead of not voting because of the candidates that were running. By not voting the incumbent White House occupant was elected.
Ethically, I cannot tell you who to vote for, however, as Christians I can speak to the issues and the ones who stand for Biblical standards and our liberties is the wise choice.
We all as Americans have a responsibility to our forefathers, and their sacrifice to bring forth for us a land of freedom; we are the “Land of the Free, because of the Brave”. Yet, do Christians today consider the heritage they may be throwing down the drain because of not voting according to righteousness.
The Bible states that murder is sin, yet, mankind in America legalized murder when voting for abortion because of liberal bombardments many years ago; that was the beginning of many other unrighteous legal moves to undermine the foundation of America, and the Christian ethic and life style.
Christians who state they are standing for Jesus can no longer be the silent majority; they must rise up and declare the rights of the Lord to be the Lord once more of America, and not the rhetorical liberals spewing out pungent filth of anti-Americanism in the guise of personal rights. They may seek to change the Constitution by executive decision, however, that doesn’t remove the American Conscience from America; it invokes righteous indignation and revolt for the defense of National Freedom from oppression and sectarianism.
Should anti-gunners win the day, they don’t just get the weapons that provide meat for tables, but, they also open the door for every known criminal and international terrorist group to have their way in grassroots America. It also paves the way for the removal of the right to congregate and freely worship, to voice ones’ on opinion unless it agrees with the despotic liberal who desires to make your choices for you whether you agree or not.
No, the America of the future is in the hands of freedom loving Americans, and the Church; unless every Christian votes for the protection of Biblical standards of morality and righteousness America will become like Russia in the Cold War, falling to Communistic agenda; only in America it will be called socialistic reform.
Wake up Church! It is time to recognize that the authority we have is higher than that of the world, how can we reign over darkness if we can’t clear it out of our government? We are to exercise the truth that we are anointed to vote, that the vote is anointed with God’s Truth that makes us free and declare the victory in every election.
Turn with me to Jeremiah 2:1-5
1. Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2. Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.
3. Israel was holiness unto the LORD, and the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD.
4. Hear ye the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel:
5. Thus saith the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?
When we examine the words written here we can liken it to the days of America being discovered, inhabited, establishing its freedom, moving forward in prosperity and then like Israel begins to exchange God for mankind’s ingenuity which fails in light of God’s wisdom and might; becoming proud man turns to men rather than to God, the Nation becomes invaded with foreign entities of darkness, soon the wrong spirit is striving to destroy the Spirit of America, rather than an Eagle sitting on the standard, it slowly turns into a vulture, seeking to devour all that oppose death’s decree for freedom and liberty.
Can America be restored, revived in righteousness and be pleasing in the sight of God? As sure as the Lord lives, so America can become what God intends for it, and its future. It is strongly connected to the Church spiritually; if the Church doesn’t do righteously, how can we expect America to change?
Changing the Nation is accomplished by Christian voters voting in the anointing that resides in each one its members. That inward dwelling of truth who is Christ Jesus will impact every believer with the vision of victory for Jesus’ sake.
John 16:13-15
13. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
14. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
15. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
Truth doesn’t speak of itself, but of its author; the Holy Spirit is truth who speaks of Jesus and the Father.
Again, truth doesn’t speak of itself, therefore one can discern politicians who are possessed of an “I” spirit operation. The present administration is a typical “I” operation.
Jesus speaks of the father and the Holy Ghost, and He speaks of the Church; today America is struggling to defend its own roots, its own spiritual truth implanted in the soil of its heart; righteousness and true liberty which was at the cost of blood for its own freedom from oppression, fear, and despotic operations of control.
The only way America can be restored to its roots is with a National repentance by all of its peoples; a turning unto God for the restorations of liberties eroded away by self-seeking power-mongers that make decisions for the peoples without consulting with the peoples for the will of the people.
This Nation was birthed in the blood of Patriots and became a Nation 238 years ago; Abraham Lincoln stood on a platform November 19, 1863, 151 years ago and read a Speech at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and declared at its close:
. . . we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
The Nation endured, re-united in one cause, to be a Nation of free people, with a government that was not self-focused seeking personal power over the peoples of America, but, it shall be a government of the people, by the people, for the people.
We have the freedom to vote according to conscience, but, more than that, according to spirit and truth. You are anointed, and you have the righteous freedom to vote according to Biblical righteousness we are morally bound and spiritually indebted to God who brought forth this Nation for His will, and He isn’t finished with it yet. America shall stand and be the bastion of Truth, Liberty, and righteous honor in gratitude to God and those who have died defending America.
When you vote tomorrow, remember the Holy Spirit goes with you and will guide you inb God's Wisdom when you ask.
God bless you, and God Bless America!
