Quoting Mike - IF YOU DO NOT VOTE, YOU DO NOT HAVE A SAY IN WHAT IS GOING ON.....

Question - Dear Brother Mike, what if we vote for who we think should be in office and the opposite canidate wins the election? Is God then responsible for allowing this to happen? And then did we vote against God?

What was in your heart when you did vote for the losing party? Ideally, what would be in your heart would be love for God as well as what (to the best of your knowledge) would be best for your country. Now, none of us knows as well as God does what is best for our country, but if you've done your best in prayerfully choosing who you will vote for, I think THAT'S what God sees. He doesn't go "well, too bad for you, sucker, now, because the other guy won it means you sinned!"

We vote because it is our choice, privilege and honor to do so.

The man God wants in will be elected. We are all part of that choice, the ones that cast a ballot.

The day of election is not the first tuesday in November, it is the First Tuesday after the First Monday. so, election day can be from November 2nd until November 8th........

now.....

if you are on a schedule such as me, you may leave town before the polls open and may not return until after they close.... if this is the case, go down and get ( or mail or email or call to find out how ) an absentee ballet. this does take some planning, and you need to request it soon enough to get it soon enough to fill it out and send it back so that it arrives soon enough that it gets counted..... IN OTHER WORDS, DO NOT DELAY...even now is not too early to request an absentee ballet.

some states you can get an absentee ballet even the day before and fill it out and leave it right there for the next day when they collect the ballets.

I have voted in every election except a couple of local primaries since 1977... I not only find it a privilege, but also a responsibility as being a citizen of the USA, and also a steward for God.....

blessing to all, seek the Lord for guidance in voting...

blessings..

some things happen even though we do not believe that it is the best thing.... God knows what is going on at all times, even when we do not understand.....

When Israel was not following God, they came under persecution of one form or another, taken into bondage of one form or another.... when they repented and turned back towards God, their lives returned.... when they were rebuilding the Temple, they slacked off for 18 years, so that they could build up their houses.... then God came down upon them and they were basically cursed.... when they repented, they started receiving blessings almost immediately....... The United States is far from receiving blessings right now... WE NEED TO REPENT AND FOLLOW GOD AGAIN... then we will begin receiving blessings again..... this would also include doing our civic duties and voting and taking an active part in the government.......THIS IS A GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE.... let us return to that form of government again.... AND REAL SOON.... one that was founded by God Fearing People..... not by those that are not God Fearing.....

people came to this country so that they could worship God freely.... would they approve of the way this country has gone?

anyone was welcome, now every one is welcome except Christians....... when Christians was the majority of the population, now it is people that say they are Christian, that have no fruit showing that they are Christian....

VOTE VOTE VOTE..... do your duty as a citizen of the Great United States, that will become A God Fearing Country again....

The first Tuesday is after the first Monday, right.

Election Day is the first Tuesday which in this case is on the 4th.

It could go to the 8th too, being the first after the Monday ...........

The point is -- GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!

and anyone that has an ear or an eye, will see when is on on TV, radio, net or even dogs howling probably lol.

I have a class to go to on Oct. 2nd, that all workers have to attend. I am working the election polls on Election Day woooohooo.

I did this 4 years ago in Ohio, had a blast. Am now in Illinois and wanted to do the same.

I like the red, white and blue hats

Dear Iryssa, I was just setting the following scripture in context. My contention is that God, and God alone is the One selecting leaders of the world. All the world can argue that if they will, but God's word is our standard of truth, though every man be a liar.

Romans 13:1 "There is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God."

Daniel 4:17 "The most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men."

Listen, no one's denying that God is the one who is in control and that He chooses those in power. I absolutely believe that! But He has chosen to work THROUGH people in this as in many other cases. He moves certain people to vote a certain way, and at the end of the day, the one that comes out with the highest numbers is the one He determined would be raised up for this time. There's nothing wrong with a Christian voting.

[Laura]

There's nothing wrong with a Christian voting.

Boy, I sure hope not. I have been voting since the 1960s.

Again, just get out and vote. It is our privilege.

What does scripture say? I can vote all I want to, but it is God Who has the final say.

In 1 Timothy 1:1-2 we are told to first of all supplications, prayers, intercessions, giving of thanks for all men: 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

If we are going to do what God asks us to do, it will be to pray for those who He has put over us.
