Recognize the Counterfeit?

Election Day is just around the corner and halloween has just passed. Two days when we would very easily be deceived by the enemy of our souls IF we did not do our ‘due diligence’ and investigate!

I believe I discussed halloween in depth over the last few days, so, we will leave that until next year! I really want to focus on the election at this point.

Each candidate has a ‘platform’ that allows you to get a glimpse into their standards. I know we are not inviting the candidate to become our new best friend, so, we will probably have several issues that we disagree on. We do, however, need to find out what his/her ‘values’ are on the most critical things that will affect our nation.

After studying the scriptures for many years, listening to anointed preaching for almost as many, and asking Holy Spirit for His wisdom, I believe I have some iron-clad, ‘platforms’ we should respect-because God respects them.

First and foremost. God is all about life! The sanctity of life is critical to Him. He really does not have any regard for how that life began-rape, incest or stupidity, to God there is no accident! Each and every life was started by God’s divine will. I think about Hagar in Genesis. These were not ideal circumstances to be bringing a child into the world. Hagar, a servant girl, had no power to prevent Abraham from impregnating her. God, on the other hand, held all the power to prevent a conception-He didn’t! Once she was pregnant, God had every opportunity for Hagar to miscarry that infant as she ran from Abram’s home into the desert. No food, no water, no shelter. Still God allowed that baby to grow in her womb. Once he was born, another opportunity materialized as Hagar ran away from Sarah, a mistress who was mistreating her. Back to the desert-no water, food or shelter might have been the death of someone less destined for a powerful future. Still, Hagar saw the ‘provision of God’ in a pool of water strategically placed there by God. They survived. This baby boy grew up to be the ‘counterfeit’ of God, Ishmael, still, God allowed him to live and his ‘seed’ to become many nations-just like Isaac’s! Make sure the candidate you vote for is PRO-LIFE!

Another standard God upholds is marriage between a man (born a man) and a woman (born a woman). All the way back in Genesis, the beginning of creation and the history of man, God said ‘male and female’ created he them! Accepting any other gender, changing your gender, mutilating a body to change a gender, is a perversion and an ungodly platform that will erode our Judeo-Christian family values! THIS IS A COUNTERFEIT! The enemy of your soul is attempting to pervert the gospel with the thought that YOU have the authority over something that God already established! This is arrogance at its worst! Look for this in the candidates list of platforms he/she supports and do not vote for any candidate in favor of gay marriage or gender changes. Better to be criticized at the water cooler than be begging fo water from hell. Remember Sodom and Gomorrah?

Looking at borders, Biblical peoples always had borders that were respected-or fought for! While it is very nice sounding, and Christ like to fling the doors of our nation wide open to allow everyone in, if there is no accountability by our border patrol, the residents who came legally, and natural born citizens, are in jeopardy! That was not God’s plan. We as a nation must protect our own first, then vet those coming in. The enemy would like nothing better than to bring in drugs, criminals, and perverts along with the ‘good people’. This would assure that our great nation would be taken down from the inside. A brilliantly devious plan of Lucifer, since the many plans to take us down before-have failed!

PLEASE get out and vote-once-on November 8th at your voting poll station. Please do not be concerned with the periphery topics…global warming, school choice, gas prices. These are like choosing red or blue carpet for the bedroom-inconsequential! The items that mater are the ones that matter to God. Life, and more abundant life the way He created us! GOD BLESSED AMERICA; NOW LET’S BLESS GOD BY VOTING FOR HIS VALUES!
