Making Your Election Sure!

2 Peter 1:10 Therefore, believers, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you [be sure that your behavior reflects and confirms your relationship with God]; for by [a]doing these things [actively developing these virtues], you will never stumble [in your spiritual growth and will live a life that leads others away from sin]; 11 for in this way entry into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly provided to you.

There’s no escaping the importance of this 2024 Presidential Election Day, but as born-again believers, followers of Yeshua/Jesus, we are ‘called’ by Him, commissioned by Him to be the salt and light of this present world of darkness and division, so what does this mean for our nation as a whole? You may have heard that as Americans, we have a civil duty to elect righteous men and women or at least those who will uphold the sanctity of human life, because God commands us to “Choose Life,” stand for Israel and provide a safe haven for the freedom of religion, to uphold the constitution of the United States of America, as well as the sovereignty of each individual state, the Bill of Rights & the Declaration of Independence!

Former President Trump has clearly proven himself in his previous tenure as President.  He was the first United States President to ever acknowledge Jerusalem, as the capital of Israel.  Every minority in the nation was better off under his previous administration.  Donald J. Trump has given all glory to God for the two failed assassination attempts on his life,  clearly stands for the religious freedom of all Americans and the rule of law.  The southern boarder was most secure, we had peace in the world while he was in office and he vows to “Make America Great Again!” What American citizen wouldn’t want that for everyone in our nation?

Vice President Harris has a very different ‘agenda’ for America, LGBTQ+ open boarders, abortion on demand, which by the way is not women’s healthcare, your tax dollars at work, so prison inmates can have free sex change operations and above all, telling people at her rallies, who yell out, “Jesus Is LORD,” that they’re at the wrong rally! With only 50% of all confessing born-again believers in the nation registered to vote and only ½ of them voting (unfortunately not biblically), we have a problem with so called ‘Christians’ in the United States that don’t have a clue!

No matter what your denominational or nondenominational status may be, can we agree that God created us male and female and if we’re going to follow the science, that’s the truth. Can we agree, as Americans, that all men, women and children are created equal? Real science even concurs that life begins in the womb at the moment of conception! Do we believe that life, liberty and he pursuit of happiness is the God given right of all human beings? Not just in America, but for all nations, peoples, tribes and tongues.  Let’s put aside all the name calling, lies that have been spread throughout this election season and stop playing politics and as followers of Yeshua/Jesus, go after good governance, because the government rests on God’s shoulders!

Let’s not vote for a man, because we’re men or a woman, because you’re a woman, but let us prayerfully consider what’s at stake here.  America is not a democracy, we’re a constitutional republic.  You don’t have to look too far to see which side is upholding the constitution and which side is not, but as Americans we need to vote for what’s best for all Americans and those who will choose to enter into this nation legally, to uphold the laws of the land, because lawlessness is the anti-Christ spirit, not the Holy Spirit of the One True GOD! I’m going to ask each and everyone reading this to prayerfully consider everything I have written, before going to the polls this election day.  Read the follow Psalm and you decide, before God and your fellow Americans what kind of nation you want to live in.  No one is exempt from standing before the judgement seat of Christ/Messiah, He is the God Who Sees & Knows.  Choose you this day who you will serve!

Psalm 11

Amplified Bible

The Lord a Refuge and Defense.

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

11 In the Lord I take refuge [and put my trust];
How can you say to me, “Flee like a bird to your mountain;
2
For look, the wicked are bending the bow;
They take aim with their arrow on the string
To shoot [by stealth] in darkness at the upright in heart.
3
“If the foundations [of a godly society] are destroyed,
What can the righteous do?”

4
The Lord is in His holy temple; the Lord’s throne is in heaven.
His eyes see, His eyelids test the children of men.
5
The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked,
And His soul hates the [malevolent] one who loves violence.
6
Upon the wicked (godless) He will rain coals of fire;
Fire and [a]brimstone and a dreadful scorching wind will be the portion of their cup [of doom].
7
For the Lord is [absolutely] righteous, He loves righteousness (virtue, morality, justice);
The upright shall see His face.
