The Power To Choose Life

                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.

Choose Life Beloved.
