God Can Do It Without Us

Do you believe God can decide the election without us? I do!

Many leaders reigned without a vote of the people! There are those people who quote the Bible that says if "My people who are called by my name would humble themselves and pray, I will heal their land."

Notice God says "I" will heal your land. If you believe the same principles apply to our country then why do you agonize over voting. The men who were placed in power were not voted in by the people, they were appointed by God, even the evil ones to punish Israel. And, it will be so for us too!

King Saul (c. 1079–1007 BCE)
King Ishbosheth (II Samuel 2:8–9)
House of David
King David (II Samuel 5:3) c. 1004–970 BCE – who made Jerusalem the capital of the United Kingdom of Israel.

King Solomon (I Kings 2:12)

After Rehoboam reigned three years (1 Chronicles 11:17), the kingdom was divided in two – the northern kingdom of Israel under Jeroboam, with its capital, first in Shechem (Nablus), then Tirzah, and finally Samaria, and ruled by a series of dynasties beginning with Jeroboam; and the southern kingdom of Judah with its capital still at Jerusalem and still ruled by the House of David. The following list contains the kings of Judah with the kings of Israel in the summaries:
