“But Christ, as the Son, is in charge of God’s entire house. And we are God’s house, if we keep our courage and remain confident in our hope in Christ. That is why the Holy Spirit says, ‘Today when you hear His voice, don’t harden your hearts as Israel did when they rebelled, when they tested Me in the wilderness.’” (Hebrews 3:6-8 NLT)
Since I began listening to the Lord’s directives in regard to this blog, He’s never directed me to write anything remotely “political.” (with only one exception😊) Today He has, but before you cringe and refuse to read another word, please hear my heart. If this is from the Lord, and I’m 100% certain it is, please, not only read the words, but listen to God’s heart as He instructs us.
For America, the real issue in this coming Presidential election isn’t about a person, it’s about the future of our nation. If we allow things to continue in the United States of America as they are currently going, we’ll wake up one day soon and no longer have the freedoms millions have died to preserve. Among the most important issues at stake aren’t “rights,” but what is right!
To refer to the murder of an unborn child as “Reproductive rights” is to blaspheme God and declare human convenience as more vital than the protection of human life. But in many regards, that’s the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
A dear friend recently sent me this response to someone saying they were voting for Trump.
“That moment when someone says, ‘I can’t believe you would vote for Trump.’ I simply reply, ‘I’m not voting for Trump.’ You see, it’s not about ‘WHO,’ it’s all about ‘WHAT:’ I’m voting for the First Amendment and freedom of speech. I’m voting for the Second Amendment and my right to defend my life and my family. I’m voting for the next Supreme Court Justice(s) to protect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
I’m voting for the continued growth of my retirement 401K and the stock market. I’m voting for a return of our troops from foreign countries and the end to America’s involvement in foreign conflicts. I’m voting for the Electoral College and for the Republic in which we live. I’m voting for the Police to be respected once again and to ensure Law & Order.
I’m voting for the continued appointment of Federal Judges who respect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I’m voting for our jobs to remain in America and not be outsourced all over again to China, Mexico, and other foreign countries. I’m voting for secure borders and LEGAL immigration. I’m voting for the Military & the Veterans who fought for this Country to give the American people their freedoms.
I’m voting for continued peace progress in the Middle East. I’m voting to fight against human/child trafficking. I’m voting for Freedom of Religion. I’m voting for the right to speak my opinion and not be censored. I’m not just voting for one person; I’m voting for the future of my Country. I’m voting for my children and grandchildren, to ensure their freedoms and a positive future for us all. And I’m voting for the end of the weaponization of our Justice System.
These are not days to be divided as Jesus followers, but united in defending and voting for what’s right! I also would encourage you to listen to the words of someone who has a perspective we need to hear. Just click the highlighted link. Helping Donald Trump: A Personal Duty to Prepare the Nation World for Future Generations (youtube.com) (Patrick Bet-David speaks with Dominik Tarczyński , a bold Polish Member of the European Parliament.) PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS MAN’S HEART.
Food for thought.
