What The Enemy Stole! This election is more important than we can imagine. Will we let the anti-christ have its way, or will we see a victory?
I want to share Psalm 12, today’s chapter in my devotional. I think it’s an excellent fit for this time in our land. We begin with idle, flattering lips.
Psalm 12:1 Help, Lord, for the godly man ceases!
For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.
2 They speak idly everyone with his neighbor; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.
Just watch the news bites to see an example of this!
3 May the Lord cut off all flattering lips,
and the tongue that speaks proud things,
4 Who have said,
“With our tongue we will prevail;
Our lips are our own; who is lord over us?”
It’s more than politics. Who is Lord? Only Elohim, the one who uses the earth for his footstool! Remember, vengeance is Mine, says the Lord.
5 “For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy,
Now I will arise,” says the Lord;
“I will set him in the safety for which he yearns.”
God Hears
This is our faithful God. He has heard our cries, even as he heard the Israelites when they were under the oppression of the Egyptians. Think about the trafficking of women and children, of people who are homeless, and who can’t afford the rising food prices and crazy rise in the cost of living.
6 The words of the Lord are pure words,
Like silver tried in a furnace of earth,
Purified seven times.
7 You shall keep them, O Lord,
You shall preserve them from this generation forever.
God Keeps His Word
Our God keeps his promises. Jesus, the Lamb Slain from the foundations of the earth, came to the earth at just the right time. All Father God’s promises he gave through his prophets were fulfilled in Jesus. All His promises to Israel and all our promises were have in Jesus Christ will also come to pass.
Days Of Evil
8 The wicked prowl on every side, when vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
This final verse describes what we have been living through these days. It seems like evil and vileness are all around us.
I was listening to Kevin Zadai’s Coffe Talk videos while I cleaned today. He reveals that evil has been part of life on earth since Adam and Eve were banned from God’s garden. He said Cain was used by Satan in the first murder because he thought righteous Abel was the promised Messiah. The devil does not know exactly what God is doing or His timing. So, the devil uses someone in almost every generation to try and bring the anti-Christ to power. Nero and Hitler come to mind.
Well, our generation is not exempt. This election will determine what happens next. As we who claim the name of Jesus unite in praying for God’s will to be done, things can change. Remember when I said only about 33% of professing Christians exercise their right to vote? The devil loves it when we step back and let him work!
Our Red Sea?
This could be our Red Sea moment. There is no human way possible to come through this season unscathed. If the prophets are right, we will soon see the hand of God and His glory overcome. There will be dancing in the streets and people coming to us asking how to be saved. Are we ready?
How Do I Vote?
But, “I don’t know how to vote,” or, ” I don’t know who to vote for!” Do not let fear immobilize you. Which candidates support Israel? Which ones think life is sacred? Who will support families? Who do we need to be in office at this time? Is it politics as usual, or could a businessman or woman who has experience in other countries and cultures be what we need?
More than which candidate, God is waiting for the body of Christ to come together behind the Father’s will. Pray, ask the Holy Spirit to guide you, and get out to vote!
Shalom to you, my dear readers. Until next time, may Jesus be near and msy you experience Heaven close at hand.
