Pray - Vote

Pray - Vote

I am sending this blog post out a day early, hoping it will encourage you to continue to pray for tomorrow's election and to vote, if you have not already done so. Politics If you have been reading my blogs, you know that I believe these ten things:
  1. Our cultural and political upheaval is a direct result of spiritual war, a satanic and demonic assault on our nation manifesting itself in a deep cultural and political division.
  2. God must win this battle.
  3. Therefore, the solution to our problems is prayer, repentance and being salt and light in our attitudes and actions.
  4. Even so, God expects us to act biblically in doing our part, which includes voting.
  5. President Trump may be deeply flawed personally, but supports biblical truth and principles in the governing of our country, and advances policies that enable us to continue functioning according to the principles on which our nation was founded.
  6. Former Vice-president Joe Biden, in his own perhaps less obvious way (largely due to the biased "reporting" by the anti-Trump MSM), is even more deeply personally flawed then President Trump, and advances policies that will destroy the biblical principles on which our nation was founded and will destroy the freedoms Christians have had to worship and live out our faith, including proclaiming God's biblical standards on abortion, homosexuality and transgenderism.
  7. The Democrat Party platform is degenerate and evil, advancing biblically reprehensible values outlined in Romans 1.
  8. In the Old Testament, God held Israel’s kings responsible to uphold justice and righteousness in the land.
  9. We are not kings, but we choose those who rule over us, and He holds us responsible to vote for those who will most faithfully advance justice and righteousness.
  10. That means we must vote, on the national offices, for a straight Republican ticket, against the evil Democrat Party platform.
Polls The national polls have been showing Joe Biden leading against President Trump. However, the polls are somewhere between misleading and very wrong, depending on the poll. The flawed polling results have been touted by the mainstream media, I believe, for the purpose of encouraging Democrats to vote and discouraging Republicans from voting. If you get the idea that the results are a foregone conclusion and it won't matter if you don't vote - then you might not vote. That's what they're hoping. Don’t believe the polls! Several polls which accurately predicted President Trump’s election in 2016 are also predicting his election in 2020. If all those who support the principles by which he has been governing will just vote, he will be decisively reelected, as I outlined in this blog, Pray - Vote So, don’t fail to vote. Help put the final nails in the coffin of the godless Democrat platform. If you have not yet voted, I encourage you to do so, with a prayer for the God of our fathers,
  • in response to the historic out-pouring of prayer we have witnessed the last few months,
  • to grant to us His mercy (to not give us what we deserve) and His grace (to give us what we do not deserve),
  • so that this election will put in office those who will help restore our nation to justice and righteousness.
If you have not yet given yourselves to a time of prayer (and fasting?) for our nation and this election, I encourage you to do so on whatever level the Lord may lead you. Many of us joined Franklin Graham for a day of prayer and fasting on Sunday, October 25. Joni Eareckson Tada has a prayer webinar here that you may find helpful. Proverbs 21:31 says, “The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but victory belongs to the Lord.” By voting, we do our part: we “prepare the horse for the day of battle.” By praying, we call upon the Lord to do His part: “give us the victory.”
