Christians and Voting

Alf..you are right...God allows to happen, what will happen.

In the Old Testament, the people wanted a king over them...they got a king all right. Saul.
Today? God is still in control.

We all do have a choice.

HOWEVER, knowing who is who, what is going on in the worldly world==for instance "they already know who they are putting in there". God is allowing this. Our vote does NOT count.

Our only fight is prayer with our armor of God.

Now the results of your prayer just might work through someone that God allows the evil to put in there......Perhaps God may reveal to you that He will work through a certain person.
But as we know it....this is the beast system. I don't want to be part of it.
They change when they are elected and never get done what they promised.
What they have done is dismantled the constitution and Bill of rights...and more...going right into the one world beast system...that is what they are working toward.

So...for me....I will NOT "vote" for an enemy of God, not any more. I am praying and voting for Jesus Christ as my next KING.
It is in HIS hands now. His battle....

The other part was this attitude of defeat, apathy and disgust. Why do we judge the world? They are already judge, we need to have compassion for them and pity them. I know how easy it is to get caught up in these ideas and feelings that get spread through Christian circles, but we must fight against them. It's not healthy.

where did you see me complaining ?
was just reporting the things as they are here. I don't think people hear often about the spiritual state of France or Europe and used that to illustrate my conviction.

Our job is earthly,

Mat 28:19-20 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, (20) and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Although we are on earth and among the nations , making disciples is not an earthly job. I mean it's about gathering wheat in the heavenly barn.
Spreading the gospel is the mandate, whatever the authorities are.
Voting ? How one can measure the effect of it, but when one sinner repents , we can know the joy of heaven.

Amen !

In a few years , the kingdom of the world will become the kingdom of our Lord. it will be done without the hand of man.

I have been thinking about this thread in between errands and chores today. I fully acknowledge that God is completely in control of all things, even our elections. His "will" be done on earth as it is in heaven! What I am thinking now is that God used people to fulfill His will at times. Just perhaps being part of the electoral process is part of fulfilling His will.

Dear Mela,
God saw the beginning from the end and let theese things happen because of His prophecy coming into fullfillment. This that God let theese things happen does not mean we must participate in the matters of darkness, which it is. This that God have chosen the leaders...i do not believe it is such leaders our Lord was pointing to, when speaking of a lawfull system. Like God will let satan push his way straight to the judgement throne and lake of fire, so also all of those taking the devils part with him. i believe that is a very big mistake to participate in this circus, as Paul mentioned. We are only spectators to a theater of madness and evil. Offcource it is everyones own choice what he or she believe to be the true matter but by now it must be clear to us what theese worldleaders are made of...it is not the spirit of God, this we know.
The very thing that God let it go the path God have foretold does not mean God blessed theese leaders and the votation or any of this kind. This system will also be cast into the lake of fire. This world is to go down, it is NOT blessed and nor is any country of the world . this system is not blessed, it is Cursed, bound for the lake of fire.
When we know that the votation is fixed and the leaders are devil whorshippers, then how can that be the will of God that any servant of His should participate in something that is based on lies and decievement and utter darkness. i believe we need to be clear on what is what and who is who, we are under a great time of decievement and only God knows how much time we have left. We are to devide ourselves from the world.
Voting is not witnessing anything to anybody, God forbid.

Still this is what I believe is the truth with all my heart, please be clear about what you do, theese things matters much because it is a matter of trustwhorthyness to the Lord. The spiritual forces are playing out big time and we better know the light from the darkness, and stay close to Jesus.

i hope i did not offend by giving my share here and i respect others choices.
in Jesus Christ our King
