Why can’t Christians see that when the Lord tells us to pray for those in authority over us – so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives, that HE answers our prayers through HIS own people, and not through those who are against God and His Word? Were not inviting Donald Trump over for dinner, but rather to do what is right and just for all LEGAL, LAW-ABIDING, TAX-PAYING, CONSTITUTIONAL, CAPITALIST, GOD-FEARING PATRIOTIC citizens of the U.S.A.
Government was established by God, but the ungodly have been ignorantly and purposefully instilled to corrupt governing and use their positions to control people and take from people what isn’t their right to do so. God ordained government to have the righteous and just (by His definitions) in authority, not the power-hungry self-serving workers of inequity who would be in power fleecing its citizens and slowly removing from them their God-given rights.
So if we (Christians) don’t vote for who is upholding the ‘right’ values and preserving the ‘right’ justice system (that is in our biblical Constitution) then HE WILL HOLD HIS PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE! Trump isn’t as “godly” as we ALL NEED TO BE, but we don’t need to approve of ‘personality’ or ‘mannerism.’ We need to see through it (as God does) to what the person is set to accomplish (with HIS help) that will greatly affect our lives and especially the livelihood of our children and grandchildren.
My prayer for America’s Christians (including myself): “Father God, wake us all up to common sense/godly wisdom for the unity we need; remove our veil of self-righteousness so we can understand what YOU STILL WANT DONE FOR AND THROUGH AMERICA. May we keep in mind that PERFECTION OF ALL THINGS will come with the return of Your Son, KING of kings and LORD of lords.
“I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior.” 1 (Timothy 2:1-3)
It is very clear which candidate of this POTUS election will work for us to live peaceful and quiet lives, in all godliness and holiness. It certainly isn’t those who are clearly opposed to biblical values and policies and true justice for all, even as they say they are.
How I see it, these Christians who won’t vote for whatever reason, or who are blind to what is at stake here, are infants in their biblical faith – unable to see what they need to see, hear what they should be hearing, and understanding what they need to understand – TO DO WHAT THEY NEED TO DO AND SHOULD DO – with God’s favor on them.
America is in the horrible mess we’re in because of God’s people over the decades lacking wisdom, courage, self-sacrifice and active faith in God’s Word. God have mercy on us! Raise us up to be what YOU want us to be in this nation that YOU started through men and women of great faith and the power from YOU to overcome their enemies, within and without. In Jesus’ Name!!!!
