Politics & Evangelicals

Updated: Aug 15, 2023

1 Timothy 2:1-6 (NKJV) "Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,


for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.


For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.


For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time..."


Pretty soon, the 2024 presidential election will be upon America.


If anyone is aware of how this always works is that candidates solicit the votes of people.


The one voting block that is never ignored is the evangelical Christian vote.


Many candidates will tout their "Christian" background to earn their support.


Years ago, the LBJ or Lyndon Baynes Johnson administration came up with a way to keep the evangelical vote from having influence in elections.


Tax Exempt Status.


There's a stipulation within the policy that churches will not be taxed or lose their tax exempt status, so long as its pastor refrain from endorsing any candidate from the pulpit.


On its face, it's a clear violation of the First Amendment. It's unconstitutional and they knew it. The politicians knew that pastors with great influence could sway an election. Many pastors complied while others simply ignored the policy.


The one thing that always hood winked evangelicals is when a politician declares that they know the Lord or talk about their "Christian" family upbringing. Reading the Bible at dinner time, having Bible study, quoting Bible verses, and saying key phases. A good number of believers bought the lie and accepted them on face value without holding them to the fire.


"I'm born again," some of them would say. "I believe in God."


DON'T BUY IT FOR ONE MINUTE!!!


Some would carry a Bible as they walk out of a Sunday church service with their wives.


Great photo opportunities like pastors and prominent Christian leaders surrounding a candidate to pray for them is a great way to appear spiritual.


At least on two occasions, president Trump was asked about repentance and forgiveness.


He gave the typical speech to give the appearance that most sinners believe.


Trump said that he has a "good relationship with God." "I try to be a good person." "I try to do good things." "I don't need forgiveness."


To Trump's credit, he honored his word while in office. Defying all expectations and upending politics as usual.


When senator Ted Cruz ran for president, he stumped as if he was preaching an evangelical message. His father is an evangelist and that caught everyones attention, including mine.


Ted Cruz used Bible verses and everything seemed to line up. So it temporarily divided the evangelical vote in 2016.


You had two camps. One praying for Cruz, and the charismatic WOF (Word of Faith) crowd praying for Trump.


After the 2016 election fell to Trump, Cruz began to show his true colors using cuss words on the senate floor and committee meetings.


Trump, on his loud and crowded meetings around the country, used the name of the Lord in vain, blaspheming the name of the Lord regularly.


With Obama in 2008, as a professed believer, you had a group of Black pastors laying hands on him and praying for him. But two things stood out that Black people, claiming to be believers, overlooked.


Obama's unquestioned support for abortion and the homosexuality sodomite group.


But some Christians were catching on to the Obama agenda and questioned his "Christianity." It was so bad that TD Jakes had to step in to command Christians not to question his "Christianity."


Well, it didn't work. When a false teacher got to vouch for a false Christian, what should we expect.


With president Biden, he's a catholic. But video after video surfaces of the president's creepy activities with women and young girls. Allegedly was in a shower with his granddaughter. His racist statements like "You're not Black enough" or "put you all back in chains." Or his Anti Crime Bill in the 1990's was responsible for incarcerating more Black people. Hanging around with Strom Thurman and Robert Byrd who were former Democrats that were KKK. So you know what to expect with catholics. And to mention, their anti Israeli policies, supporting the untenable 2 state non solution, violating the word of the Lord in Genesis 12.


On both sides of the aisle, there's wickedness, because power is intoxicating.


And for the most part, abortion is supported in some measure by both parties. The baby's blood is on their hands and they will answer for every drop.


On the other side, the Democrats circled the wagon train to protect abortion and homosexuality. They even label evangelicals as "White Evangelical Christian Nationalists." Touting racism while accusing Republicans of racism.


"...speaking lies in hypocrisy."


They're thirsting to bring in communistic dictatorship powers to suppress and eliminate free speech, disarm Americans, completely ignore the constitution, govern with complete anarchy and defunding the police to allow for lawlessness, and destroy capitalism.


The goal is to get rid of the true believers in Christ. During the reign of the beast in Revelation 13, the power to murder believers will fulfill this quest.


Absolute power corrupts absolutely.


Government is headed towards ABSOLUTE POWER in a one world economic and ecumenical power for a season.


It's clear to me that in unrepentant sinners, their true colors rise to the top for all to see.


After all is said and done, after they're elected, we begin to see and hear alarming things that is unbecoming of a true born again believer.


But what happens is that we ignore the obvious sins and we've accepted the now famous neutral statement.


"We didn't elect a pastor. We've elected a president to lead the country."


These candidates are liars and we don't see the danger behind people that lie.


In the 2020 election, you had all of the false prophets stating that Trump would win reelection. I even bought it. Sadly. Then the fix was in. You can't trust elections anymore because of wickedness. With the weaponization of law enforcement and judges, the will of the people no longer exists.


With MSM as the main propaganda tool, only those that listen to the world are duped into everything they say. MSM, including FoxNews, and NewsMax. No one is exempt and can be trusted.


NO ONE!!!!


Revelation 22:14-15 (NKJV) "Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters,


and whoever loves and practices a lie."


Are evangelicals smarter this time around?


Nope!!!!


Proverbs 14:15 says "The simple believe every word, but the prudent considers well his steps."


Then when Covid came, the blindness was removed from some believers.


We begin to see the sinister activities of not just the candidates but with the system of American politics. That the disease of sin is all in the system.


If you don't do what we tell you to do, we will do everything short of an assassination to get you out of office. We began to see the system behind the system calling the shots. Covid was a classic example of people drunk on power to control what people do.


There was never a level playing field. All one has to do us look at American history and you'll see that on paper, it seemed fair but it wasn't.


I made a gross mistake, assuming that it was a level and fair playing field.


I was fooled.


We're about to see how far man is willing to go to control people.


1 Timothy 6:10a (NKJV) "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil..."


If you have more money and people have less money, guess who rules?


If you have the power to govern bank accounts, businesses, credit, loans, mortgages, gas or energy, food, medicine, and other critical items, you can control people.


Digital currency and other realtime financial policies is about to take hold and when it does, the Antichrist will have system in place to wreak havoc on an unimagined scale (Revelation 13).


The Lord never called the church to save America or any nation.


What did the Lord say?


Matthew 28:19-20 (NKJV) "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen."


When you're making "disciples of all the nations," IT'S CRITICAL THAT YOU GET THIS....


You help to make up His church (see 1 Corinthians 3:5-17).


Matthew 16:18 (NKJV) "And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it."


Look at the word "church."


It's the compound Greek word "ekklēsia; from a compound of 1537 and a derivative of 2564; a calling out,


"ek" means "out."

"kaleō;" means "call."


The Lord calls out sinners when we do our job to preach the gospel to sinners. Should they be granted repentance from sin, and they place faith on Christ alone, they may be an American in a nation, but now they're in the kingdom of His dear Son, passing from death to life, from the power of satan to the power of God, from darkness into HIS MARVELOUS LIGHT.


Acts 26:18b (NKJV) "that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.’


Therefore, we are to pray, make intercession, supplications, and giving of thanks for "all men, for kings, and all that are in authority," but we don't trust in political power.


Government is headed towards ABSOLUTE ONE WORLD ECONOMIC AND ECUMENICAL POWER for a season.


According to Daniel 2, governments will come to a complete end. The Book of the Apocalypse (Revelation of Jesus Christ) is the final week or 7 years of man's rule under demonic power. Simultaneously, God's full wrath will be poured out in full strength.


But before then.............


"And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come."


Matthew 24:14


Therefore, we trust in the living God.


Come. Lord Jesus come! The Spirit and the bride say COME!"
