The Lord will be with us -- believers must unite!

"I AM the Lord your God; do not fear the gods of the (Enemy), in whose land you dwell. But you have not obeyed My voice."  - Judges 6:10

We are fearful. We fear what we have, what may yet come under this one man's "democratic" rule as president. We fear the other candidate. We fear reports from the media. Each candidate bites the other, looking for ways to devour.

We are fearful.

What a sad state we are in. We are perishing.

The Lord says He would be with us ... IF we heed His commandments, IF we obey, IF we walk in all His ways, IF we serve Him with all our heart and all our soul.

That IF has the potential of becoming our very downfall or becoming the powering force to overcome the enemy.

IF our faith and IF our trust and IF our obedience to The One True Holy Living God remains in Him, He will be with us. He will fight for us.

Time and time again The Lord has come to our aid.

We are brought under another's rule. We are in bondage to another nation, another people, another belief! We are distraught. What are we to do.

And when the pain is strong enough, we cry out to The Lord. Why do we not cry together as one unit. Why are we so scattered? Where oh Where is our trust and faith and belief?! Have we forgotten to whom we belong?

We must turn to The Lord. We must come together. We will not be defeated when we are united as one in the Spirit.

I AM the Lord your God. Do not fear .... but you have not obeyed.

Fear comes when we are disobedient. Fear comes when we do not trust. Fear comes when our belief is absent.

Do not allow the enemy -- and there are many -- to become, to continue to be a snare and a trap for you, to be a thorn in your side.

We must unite as one body of believers and defeat our foe, and the Lord will be with us.

We must pray.
We must seek His wisdom and be obedient to Him and His ways.

It's predetermined -- God knows who will be the next U.S. president

More than one power is coming before a vote by the people of the United States in November.

Each is equally a snare, a trap, a thorn - presently and potentially.

Neither, it appears, has a personal relationship with God's Son, Jesus Christ.

Neither, it appears, worships the one Holy Living God -- to follow Him only,  to love Him only, to walk in all His ways, to keep His commandments, to hold fast to Him, to serve Him with all your heart and all your soul.

But one will be elected. The man God deems right for this present time will be the next president of the United States. It may be one is re-elected or it may not.

Christians across the country are for or against one or the other.

God tells us we cannot straddle the fence.

He also tells us we are to remove ourselves from nations that are potential dangers.

God also instructs us to be a light in a fallen world.

One evil is not less or more than another. But still, one man will be elected.

Should we determine not to vote for anyone?

God also says to give to the government what is due.

And what is due?

We need to pray.

Prayer is the key to everything. Not just for the moment. But for every minute.

Serve with sincerity. Serve in truth.

Meditate on the Scriptures.

Commune with the Lord. Listen with your heart and soul.  Obey His teachings and then pursue His leading.

God is our eternal judge.

God places certain people in power and they are not necessarily Christian. If God says this man or that man is who will be president, then we must trust God and follow God's leading.

God's choice is not necessarily our choice.

We must strive to do the Lord God's bidding, not follow our own agenda nor another.

God knows the Way. He is the Way. We are only second-guessing.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will direct your paths." - Proverbs 3:5-6
