I am writing this article with the heaviest heart I have had since I was born again in 1983. What I am witnessing in the body of Christ is not only appalling, it is making our enemy, the devil, leap for joy. Satan is the father of lies and author of confusion. He accuses the brethren night and day before our God. He is watching as we tear one another apart; sever relationships with one another, and fall out of fellowship with brothers and sisters in Christ – over this election.
“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. (Emphasis mine)
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death” (Revelation 12:9-11).
We have heard “Vote your conscience” over and over. I take that to mean “Vote for the person that you feel God wants you to vote for.”
We are not in heaven yet
We Christians are still on earth and we are in this flesh which wars against our spirit every minute. Paul talks about that:
“For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin”(Romans 7:14-25).
The battle which is happening in the body of Christ
Last night I saw this anger welling up on a FB thread. My friend and brother in Christ, Chaplain Bill Herrmann (he gave me permission to use his name), was the person who posted the update which caused many Christians to post their views. Discussing these things is productive and the right to do. But what I saw happening was not a discussion – it was a war. Some people were level headed and articulated their thoughts – others were attacking.
We are to love one another
This was not a suggestion from our Lord Jesus. He commanded that we love one another.
“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another” (John 13:34-35).
Notice that Jesus said that by this love we have for one another, all men will know that we are His disciples.
Vote your conscience or stay home or write in your candidate’s name. If you have gone before God and asked Him to help you make this decision, then do it, with all gratefulness to God.
NOT HILLARY CLINTON
There is absolutely NO way that I can write to you that it is acceptable to cast a vote for this woman. Her record speaks for itself, and anyone who truly belongs to the Lord Jesus, would not even give a thought to voting for her.
She not only pushes abortion and Planned Parenthood, but she believes in partial birth abortion. She received the ‘Margaret Sanger’ award. If you don’t know about Sanger – put her name in my Word Press search box, and you will read about this monstrous woman.
I have written numerous articles filled with facts about Hillary’s criminal past. You can go to my Word Press and type in Hillary Clinton to see any of these articles.
In conclusion
I have said this on a few occasions and I will say it again. I believe that God is going to allow Clinton to win. Why? Because she is who we deserve. I believe that our country is under judgment by God for our egregious sins. We have become another Sodom and Gomorrah.
Let’s not tear one another apart. If we want to discuss – let’s discuss. No condemnation; that is from the enemy of our souls. Peaceful and honest discussion is how the Lord would want us to behave.
Agree to disagree IN LOVE.
MARANATHA!
You’re spot on sister! Thank you for posting that. God has also been speaking to me as well about the same thing. Love you Geri! I’m reposting this on my little forum. God bless.
God bless you, sis 🙂
It seems Geri that not just in America but in other Countries including Australia that Mankind are depending on Worldly wisdom, logic and reasoning, including some of those in the Church who even though Jesus tells us to Ask, Seek and Knock, they don’t ask for His Godly Wisdom and Empowering (Luke11:13) which none of us were Born with.(Proverbs 4:7-James 1:5-6-1John 2:26-28 – Colossians 2:2-3 -Matthew 10:26-28) so they will be able to understand God’s Truth (1Corinthians2: 9-16)KJV
As for Elections, yes as you said Geri, God will give them what they want because His Discipline is they will reap what they sow but why are some in the Church not seeking Godly Men to be in Authority as Paul advises in Scripture?
Yet The Lord is still patient not wanting any of those whom He knows as His own to Perish or the World would have come to an end a lot sooner than it is going to and yes time is short as shown in the World events happening now and in the other signs that Jesus talked about and said for us to watch for, which are mentioned in other Scriptures too.
In Romans 7 Paul was describing his battle with the flesh claiming to be wretched but he did not stay that way and nor are we to either. Paul knew Jesus had died to set us free from the Slavery of Sin in the Carnal flesh and many Scriptures confirm this Truth, we are to put our Carnal flesh to death by The Spirit’s empowering as we choose to walk in His Fruit, (Romans 8 :12-15-Romans6 – Colossians 3:4-6 -Galatians 5:24 -26) (KJV) we Aim to be Perfected in Love, (1John 3:9 1John 3:6-7 – 1John 4:17-19 -1John 2:4-6 Romans 8:12-15 – Romans 6:5-7 -Daniel 12:10) (KJV) we than walk as Jesus did in Love and Righteousness. (1John3:6-7- 2 Corinthians7:1)KJV
These Truths were taught in the early Church and are very much confirmed in the Scriptures which we can read above and in the Scriptures below.
John 8:34-36 Jesus replied, “I tell you the Truth, everyone who Sins is a slave to Sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free you will be free indeed.KJV
Romans 6:6- 7 For we know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of Sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to Sin because anyone who has died has been freed from Sin. KJV
1 John 3: 1-11 ( 9 ) No one who is Born of God will continue to Sin, because God’s seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.KJV
1 John 3: 1-11 ( 6-7 ) Whosoever abideth in Him Sinneth not: whosoever Sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth Righteousness is Righteous, even as He is Righteous.KJV
1 John 5:18-20 We know that no one who is Born of God sins; but He who was Born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him. KJV
Romans 6:18-23 Being then made free from Sin ye became the servants of righteousness. But now being made free from Sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. KJV
Romans 8 :12-15 Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation but it is not to the Sinful nature, to live according to it. or if you live according to the Sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. KJV
1 John 2:4-6 He that saith, I know Him and keepeth not His Commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth His word, in him verily is the Love of God Perfected: hereby know we that we are in Him. He that saith hebideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked.KJV
Luke 6:45-46 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.KJV
Colossians 3:4-6 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.KJV
2 Corinthians 7 1Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, Perfecting Holiness in the fear of God. KJV
Romans 6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto Sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.KJV
Romans 6:5-7 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of His death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection: Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of Sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve Sin. For he that is dead is freed from Sin.KJV
Romans 6 :1-2 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in Sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to Sin, live any longer therein? KJV
Romans 8: 8 There is therefore now no Condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit.KJV
1 Peter 1:21-23 Being Born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.KJV
1 John 4:17-19 Herein is our Love made Perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in Love; but Perfect Love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made Perfect in Love. We Love Him, because He first Loved us. KJV
1 Peter 2:24 Who His own self bare our Sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to Sins, should live unto Righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.KJV
Ephesians 4:23-24 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in Righteousness and True Holiness. KJV
Titus 2:13-15 Looking for that blessed Hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all Authority. Let no man despise thee.KJV
Colossians 1:27-29 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man Perfect in Christ Jesus Whereunto I also labour, striving according to His working, which worketh in me mightilyKJV
Daniel 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.KJV
2 Corinthians 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be Perfect, be of good comfort be of one mind, live in Peace and the God of Love and Peace shall be with you.KJV

God’s Love is not Carnal Geri, it does not cause division or does it show contempt for God’s Truth by ignoring it or with Blogging deleting it and blocking those who share it.
Colossians 2:2-3 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in Love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Indeed!
Matthew 22:36-40 (NASB)
36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?”
37 And He said to him, ” ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’
38 “This is the great and foremost commandment.
39 “The second is like it, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’
40 “On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”
Ephesians 6:12 (NASB)
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Bill and Hillary regaining the Whitehouse is tantamount to Ahab and Jezebel.

In agreement, Sister!
I agree with you 100 percent on Hillary Clinton and will also add that these bible verses describe the current state of our country, why it’s past the tipping point, and what is happening as a result…in both books it is mentioned three times
Jeremiah 7:16
“Pray no more for these people, Jeremiah. Do not weep or pray for them, and don’t beg me to help them, for I will not listen to you.
Jeremiah 11:11
Therefore, this is what the Lord says: I am going to bring calamity upon them, and they will not escape. Though they beg for mercy, I will not listen to their cries.
Jeremiah 11:14
“Pray no more for these people, Jeremiah. Do not weep or pray for them, for I will not listen to them when they cry out to me in distress.
Romans 1
24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves…
26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions.
28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.
