3-5You're going to find that there will be times when people will have no stomach for solid teaching, but will fill up on spiritual junk food—catchy opinions that tickle their fancy. They'll turn their backs on truth and chase mirages. But you—keep your eye on what you're doing; accept the hard times along with the good; keep the Message alive; do a thorough job as God's servant. 2 Timothy 4:3-4 (The Message)
I pray that you all are well in the will of God on this beautiful morning. I won't take up too much of your time because I have a powerful lengthy article for you to read. Please stay prayed up, especially leading up to this election.
As we await our next leader for oval office, let us keep these things in mind.
1. Change will continue to come as Jesus' return draws nearer each day. Remember the change of prayer & the power of the wood (paddles) being removed from the schools and the change of parents not being able to properly discipline their children. We must make sure that we are sensitive to the Holy Spirit of God and not be swayed by color/racism. (1 Corinthians 3:18 & 1 John 1:8)
2. Change will effect those who are not heeding to the Word of God, and are putting all, most or some of their trust in either McCain or Obama. (Matthew 24:24-25)
3. Make no mistake about it, change will bring persecution of Christian to America like we've never seen before. Are you ready? Where do you stand in your faith in Christ? (Romans 8:38-39)
I pray that we all make to righteous decision this election through "HEAVENLY DIVINE" consultation and not on impulse/ feelings. I don't want to give this article away but let me share with you what a mighty man of God in my life shared with an email group that I have graciously been apart of.
"A strong, smart, and worthwhile writing, MBE. I've instructed TLCF that, whatever happens November 4th, our mission as joint-hears of Jesus Christ has not been changed, or even necessarily enhanced by the next person who occupies the oval office. Our challenge is to be who we always were, and embrace the responsibility given to us in this scripture:
1 Peter 2:13-17, Holy Bible, New Living Translation 13 Respecting People in Authority For the Lord's sake, respect all human authority—whether the king as head of state, 14 or the officials he has appointed. For the king has sent them to punish those who do wrong and to honor those who do right. 15 It is God's will that your honorable lives should silence those ignorant people who make foolish accusations against you. 16 For you are free, yet you are God's slaves, so don't use your freedom as an excuse to do evil. 17 Respect everyone, and love your Christian brothers and sisters. Fear God, and respect the king.
MBE (and folks), our next "king" just might be Mr. Obama. Or, it might be Mr. McCain. In any case, are you readying yourselves to respect and pray for the "king?" In the voting booth, I will vote my conscience. My conscience doesn't necessarily line up with the wave of the masses (neither Barrack nor John have moved me), but I would never, ever betray conscious authority to go "surfing" with the crowd! After my wife & I step out of the voting booth (we're voting early), we will continue to prepare our hearts & minds with 1 Peter 2:13-17 and Romans 13.
And, no, MBE. Your title was not offensive to me, as I understood exactly the meaning of your assertion. In short, our God is not "dumber" than Obama, and only He is in control and, regardless of the outcome next Tuesday, the whole world will see Him show up in a splendid and definite way."
In His grip,

With that said, I pray that we allow God to use us in a humble way. And no matter who is our president, we are to respect people who are in authority. Being good citizens in America and this world for Christ, without compromising His Word for selfish gain. Enjoy this brother's article and please do not be biased because of his Pentecostal/COGIC background. This brother preaches Christ and Him crucified...that's good enough for me. Be blessed by this article and on this day and know that Jesus loves you and I love you all too.
