As the Body of Christ, we have great authority in the kingdom of heaven and in the things of God. It may come as a shock to many to learn that even though politicians will have to answer to God for what they do, the Body of Christ will also be held responsible.
We are responsible for everything that happens in the earth politically.
The condition of the world is supposed to be controlled by our prayers. The Church has been given the power to change things. We stand in a covenant. We have the armor of God and the power of attorney to use the Name of Jesus and the power of His blood.
God desires for His people to pray and take a stand with Him in faith. First Timothy 2:1-2 says, “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.” It is vitally important that we pray daily for our leaders.
It’s also crucial that we ask God how to vote. Voting is our God-given right and responsibility. In this nation and others, people have suffered and died so we could have that right. We must not take it lightly.
Not voting is the same as casting a vote for the wrong side. Yet, there are Christians all over this country who are not even registered to vote—enough of them to swing every election.
The time has come to take our place. We are responsible.
When God speaks, we are to listen and obey, and we need leaders who will do the same. Party affiliation is not what matters. The person God can use is the one with a willing heart who will obey His voice. Ask God to give us leaders with willing hearts who will stand for what is right. Then vote as He leads you.
Your Holy Spirit-directed ballot is a powerful seed. When you vote in faith, in obedience to God, your household will be protected. God will take care of you no matter who is in office or what is happening in the world. So, don’t fear. Remember that God is your source, not the people who get elected.
