It is of mine own opinion that those whose faith is founded firmly in the Holy spirit of God-through-Christ should not become too involved in any one thing of the world - and this is to mean politics, especially.
Now, that doesn't mean you cannot take a look at one candidate, or another, and both see and say that what they do is a positive thing for the children of God. It only means that I think you should not throw in your support to either of them. For I think you shall be weighed and measured for that support upon judgment - does not the Scripture tell us it is better to abstain?
As adoptive children of God in the Christ, I think that it is not our place to support these people whom we've never met, nor do we have even the slightest inkling of a clue as to who they really are. And after all, who is it that is our king? Some political lackey who is a pawn in the grand satanic scheme of this, Satan's Season of Rule? Or, is it the One who created us? The Lord God Omnipotent and His Christ, our Christ?
I tell you, we live for HE WHO IS. The Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, God-in-Christ. To do otherwise would be foolishness akin to the ancient Israelites when they demanded of God a man as king.
You see, we are purchased as slaves in the blood of Christ and we are a new creation. This means, as the new creation, we are slaves, and yet, unlike slaves we have the free will to choose God or deny Him. Do man's slaves have this choice?
Involve yourself with the games of man, or do not, the end result is the same: The slave shall be brought back to the master. What we should be wary of is what we shall be held accountable for. Did you support a candidate who deceived you? Remember, the first earthly father Adam, and many other men and women throughout Scripture, were deceived and still held accountable for the action regardless of that deceit. The same shall be for those who foolheartedly throw in their support with men whose motives are unclear, or have, like Donald Trump, stated, in essence, that they do not need forgiveness.
The politicking of man is a fool's errand. Grand politics are entirely outside our control, for God is the steering rudder of such events, and all events. God-through-Christ allows or disallows things to happen based on the behavior of His children. The best thing we can do for our family and our nation is to strive to keep perfect faith in God-through-Christ, not throw our support in with worldly men - and especially not women.
Take heart you Trump supporters (whom I know who's hearts are mostly in the right place), for God will allow Trump to win a second term, and then a third term. Will your vote change this outcome? Will your vote effect the "greater good?" No. As God preserves and prospers us no matter the outcome, so long as we keep His faith.
But one last thing before you go, for all upright slaves, remember this thing: The in-between is the new: the master watches without interference as we forsake, or embrace him.
Logos Prevailing.
