How often does God interfere with man's free will?  Sometimes we choose well and other times the outcome is abysmal.  Men's actions and choices are a gift of free will.  Blessing or curse?

Hitler was in charge of Germany.  Was it ok to resist his authority?  We should do everything we can to ensure the election is not stolen.  Also, we have an obligation to do what we can.  So, for example, we can't leave absolutely everything up to God.  If I just sit in my house and pray, will God feed me and pay my bills? He could, but I'm guessing I'll be homeless and starve to death.  

Well who was in charge (a human ruler over him) when God inspired Paul to write  ..."

Romans 13 New King James Version

..." Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God."....

Hi, well perhaps but does that also speak to where one's heart is?

One can work day and night and become homeless, sick even unto death even without pryer and the following of God's will. Do I believe God foreknows and also predestines the actions of those given to his Son? Yes.

New King James Version Romans 8

..." For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to beconformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.  Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified"....

It's really a no brainer.

You look up how they voted, what they actually support, and listen not at all to their words/speeches, but to actual past actions, what they did, and what they didn't, concerning their job/office. It's called informed voting. Not emotional 'feelings' of personalities, deciding who to vote for to run our country of we the people.

It's serious stuff, and God would have us to be good stewards of all he has given us, what he has truly blessed us with. God bless America.

Thanks Blade...

With either result  half the voters will think the other half must have no brains. Picking a winner from the duopoly is like being a WWE wrestling fan picking who or what will be a champion.

So we should have let Hitler take over the world?  You really didn't answer the question. Don't we all have a moral obligation to stand up for what is right? This is the one part of the Bible that I think is a contradiction.  Was the American revolution against God? How about every other change of power? How can God want us to follow along and do nothing but at the same time it's "God's will" when an evil dictator is overthrown in a war. You can't have it both ways.

One side is for abortion, open borders, child mutilation and homosexuality. The other is not. Seems like an easy choice if you are Christian.

I haven't read this thread and i won't. Both political parties are the scum of the earth.

I just recently, like three hours ago, ordered three copies of a book detailing edible plants and roots of north America. :) I'll give away two copies to those in need that i encounter while foraging whenever the reality occurs.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
