"IF MY PEOPLE!"

As someone who has the Spirit of the Living GOD abiding inside my body (1 Corinthians 3:16), I feel it incumbent upon myself to express my thoughts about the upcoming Presidential election.   I have friends who are supporting different candidates from different political parties.  I will remain being their friend, no matter the outcome of the election.

However, one thing that must be considered as someone who GOD chooses to temple within before deciding whom you will support to lead our country during the next four years.....do you believe this is THE person GOD can be glorified by as the leader of our nation?  The best way to know if they will glorify GOD when they are elected is do they glorify GOD in their lives now?  We all have moments of failure, but our "fruit" must show we are connected to the vine (John 15)!

Recently I asked the following question: From my viewpoint, the most important thing any person who wants to be a leader can show is an ability to be led, and to be led by the Spirit of the living GOD.  If they aren't led by the Spirit of the living GOD, then where are they leading us to?

We have an obligation to select leaders who have proven through their actions that they follow the leadership of GOD.  One article that recently came across my viewing included the following:

Those who choose leaders ought to be those who are walking in obedience to God’s Law. There was a time in America when that was the case. John Adams said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people, it is wholly inadequate to the governance of any other.”

2 Chronicles 7:14 says "IF MY PEOPLE", which are called by MY name, shall humble themselves, AND PRAY, and seek MY face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."  Scripture doesn't say "If MY leaders" humble themselves, it says "If MY people"!  The United States of America has been given a Democratic Republic form of government by GOD's providence and grace.  Not because we deserved it or were smarter than our adversaries, but because GOD had mercy on people who were willing to seek HIS face!  I'm not smart enough, you're not smart enough, our leaders are not certainly smart enough to have gotten us where we are in just 240 years!  "We the people" must admit, not only who we are, but WHO GOD is!!!
