The Call for a king
A Call to Christian Voters. Consider carefully whom you choose to serve.
Scripture tells us who we should place as leaders over us. They first should be those who fear God and live according to His precepts. They should also be able, servant hearted individuals, not those who are swayed by bribes, material gain or power.
Consider well, this election season and all that follow.

Truth is fallen in the street.
Lies, lies, and more lies
That's all I hear coming out of the camp on the Left.
Isaiah 59:14 (KJV) And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
Oh, I know, there are some that say that they are on the Right but are masquerading as Conservatives and living like Liberals.
What does the Bible have to say about these double tongued deceivers?
Numbers 32:23 (KJV) But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.
No one likes to be demonized but sometimes actions and words reveal the source of their problem:
John 8:44 (KJV) Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Lies are the work of "the father" of lies, who is the devil himself. People are played upon by demons and devils whether they acknowledge them or not.
I realize that we are not fighting against flesh and blood. Our fight is with the spirits of wickedness behind the actions of men.
Ephesians 6:12 (KJV) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
The problem is, that men yield to demonic forces because of their own propensity to sin. That is, their greed for power, notoriety, status, and money have blinded them to the truth of who they are before God.
James 1:14, 15 (KJV) 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
My prayer is that men will repent and cry out to God for forgiveness so that the Nation can be healed:
Proverbs 29:2 (KJV) When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
Listen, you who call yourselves public servants. The people are mourning.

I Will Come . . .
An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee. Exodus 20:24 (KJV)
Genesis 3:8 records that “the Voice of the Lord God” was heard “walking in the garden in the cool of the day.” Our God desires daily fellowship with those who are created in His image and likeness. How we receive His invitation to “walk” with Him, and how much we pay attention to and yield to what the “Voice” speaks to us, determines the measure with which He can bless us.
He records His name in us individually and with us corporately and promises to come and bless us.
One of the things that takes place when He comes and we walk together is that we are kept from disease.
And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee. Exodus 15:26 (KJV)
As we receive Him and obey the speaking of the Voice we are positioned to be blessed with every spiritual, and natural, blessing.
And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God. Deuteronomy 28:1-2 (KJV)
It is the desire of our heavenly Father to establish us as leaders of the nations, blessed and whole, walking in covenant with Him day by day. He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Heb. 11:6).
