I have tried to stay away from too much discussion about politics here because it is an issue that brings conflict over something that has nothing to do with Christ or salvation.
But I feel a need to say a few things. Please do not come and try to convince me of anything other than what I am saying here. I have had far too much experience with narcissism and pretenders to be swayed this late in the game.
Here goes:
So many Christians are not seeing the narcissistic traits that prove the malintent of the presidential candidates. Malintent meaning "malitious" intent. There is a hidden agenda not at all what the Christians are expecting. Because they do not see the subtle signs, that are not nearly as subtle as they might be, they are being sucked in by their own hope and emotion.
Words do not express the truth in any candidate. They are well versed in saying whatever is needed to accomplish their goal, that being, power over others. I do not hear any candidate expressing a serious and deep desire to do the will of the people or showing a concern for the welfare of the masses. What little they do display is phony and diluted.
What we have in this election, are two people deeply vested in pursuing power and wealth their entire lives. They have drunk the wine of prestige and influence early on in their careers, deeply entangled in the web of trickery to gain their objectives.
No one who has lived their entire lives entrenched in this lifestyle will change their spots, just because they are in the public eye. They do however become very adept at manipulation, rhetoric and even intimidation to gain what they seek. Televangelists use these same tactics and methods to secure their position and affluence.
Bottom line!!!!! Things are not at all what they seem! Do not allow emotions and hope to blind you to truth. Go ahead and do as you are led by Christ while not allowing anyone to dissuade you from obedience to Him. However, and this is a big "however", do not place your trust in anyone or anything except Christ.
When our country falls, as I believe it will, no matter what happens in the election, the believers who have trusted Christ not only for salvation but also for everything else, will not be moved. They will not whine or cry over the outcome, they will not become discouraged, nor will they relent from their appointed task, that is to carry on as led by the Holy Spirit.
We are not in this world to be entertained, comfortable or pursuing happiness as we have been taught all our lives. We are here to spread the Gospel and grow in holiness while serving those Christ has sent to be a part of our lives.
Galatians 3:6-9 "6 So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” 7 Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham. 8 Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.” 9 So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith."
It is Israel that will be blessed and protected, no other nation can own this but Israel.
Our faith and trust is in Christ alone, for every thing!
