THE POWER TO CHOOSE LIFE
In the book of Deuteronomy, God lays out the blueprint of His plan for our
lives. He is very detailed in what the
choices are. We can choose life and live
under the Blessing of God, or we can choose death and live under the curse. There is not a third choice. If you haven't chosen life, you've chosen death. If you don't vote, you
are voting death by default.
Tomorrow we have
the choice to go to the polls and choose life. Each person running for
office in this country has chosen a platform.
No matter what that person says or does in their campaigns, they are
representing that platform.
In our
Declaration of Independence, the founders made the role of government very
clear. They understood that there was a Creator, and that He had given to us certain "inalienable", (God-given) rights. The
purpose of government is to protect those rights. The people we elect to
office must stand on a platform that protects those rights.
Our job is to be
salt and light on the earth. When we don't "choose", don't
vote for godly leadership, or don't pray for godly leadership, we are still
choosing by default. We are choosing
death.
"When the righteous are in
authority, the people rejoice, but when a wicked man rules, the
people groan."
Proverbs 29:2
Here are some
facts that may interest you:
Only 16% of the
electorate elect the president.
Only one out
of eight voters elect their senators and governors.
Seven out of eight Americans did
not choose the present administration.
In the last
presidential election, many people were frustrated and apathetic. They simply
didn't vote. Beloved, when you don't vote, you are still casting your vote by
default. You're not standing for what God stands for. You're not
fighting for your rights. You're not using the choice He has given you to live
in blessing.
When you sign a
contract, you need to know what is in it, don't you? When you go to a polling booth, you need to
know which party that candidate supports and whether they will defend your
inalienable rights, the ones that God gave you.
It is not the job of the government to supply you with happiness. God is our source for every good thing.. It is government's job to defend your right to be free, to pursue happiness, and worship
that amazing God.
God has given us
the right to live in a nation that protects His purposes and plans to bless His
people. Will you be a good steward of
that choice? It takes only a few moments to Google the Party platforms and be
informed. Which one will protect the rights to life, the right to worship your
God freely, and maintain your right to pursue happiness as a result of those
rights.
The people we
elect tomorrow will select the next judges in the land.
Justice depends on
that.
The people we
elect tomorrow will make the laws that govern us, and determine whether we are
a people of God, or a godless people.
Blessing depends on that.
It is YOUR God
given right and responsibility to CHOOSE
LIFE. Will you?
Will you stand
for what God stands for? Will you take a stand for LIFE?
Know what you are voting for:
2 Chronicles 7:14
When I shut up the heaven
and there is no rain, or command the locusts to deour the land, or send
pestilence among MY People,
If MY people:
Humble themselves and pray,
Seek MY face,
Repent,
THEN:
I WILL:
Hear from heaven,
Forgive their sin,
Heal their land.
Isaiah 1:18
Come now, and let us reason
together, says the Lord.
Though your sins be as
scarlet,
They shall be white as snow…
If you are willing and
obedient,
You shall eat the GOOD of
the land.
Allow the Children to come
unto Me. Jesus. Matthew 19:18
Support the right of children to pray and read their Bibles in
school.
And God formed man and
breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.
Genesis 2:7
Support the right to life for every person.
This (woman) is now bone
of my bone, flesh of my flesh…Therefore
a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they
shall become one flesh. Genesis
2:23,24
Support the God-designed, and blessed marriage between a man and
a woman.

plans for us, you will be blessed by the last two weeks of programming on
