Voting and how
it Affects your Ability to Withstand in the Evil Day
Voting is a serious
matter. It can be likened to bidding God speed to a
candidate. Trying to get a candidate elected is an active choice to
partake of his or her deeds. It is like saying, "God bless you. I
endorse your agenda."
If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine,
receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil
deeds. (2 John 1:10,11)
Because God commands his people
to not give place to Satan, it is crucially important to
vote for an individual only if you are certain that by doing
so you are not helping to further Satan's purposes in this
world:
". . . Neither give place to the devil." (Eph. 4:27)
As a Christian, you cannot overcome the world, the flesh and the devil if you
give place or opportunity to the devil.
To vote
for a puppet of the New World
Order controllers is to vote for the devil to have authority
over you.
Christians who like to think positively
about their spiritual compromise tend to quote the following
verse:
No weapon formed against thee shall prosper, and every
tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt
condemn. (Isa. 54:17)
Let us look
at this for a moment: "No weapon formed against thee shall prosper . . . " What
if you choose to vote for the weapon (political candidate)
who is formed to do what is against you? Will the "no weapon
formed against thee shall prosper" be in effect then?
No, because you have chosen to help prosper the
weapon that is formed against you
— the leader who serves the devil's purposes.
The seventy who were
appointed by the Lord Jesus Christ were given all power over
the enemy. You can be sure they would not be able to do this
if they were in league with the devil through compromise:
Behold, I give unto you
power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all
the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means
hurt you. Luke 10:19
Will
the modern-day disciples of Jesus Christ have power through prayer
over the destructive spiritual devices of the enemy if we
ignorantly vote for his agents?
"For we are not ignorant of his
[Satan's]
devices." 2 Cor. 2:11
You are not
resisting the devil if you vote for one of the
devil's New World Order change agents.
"...Resist the devil, and he will flee from
you."
As Christians, our battle is
not against flesh and blood
(political parties) "but against spiritual
wickedness."
"For though we walk in the flesh, we do
not war after the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are
not carnal..." 2 Cor. 10:3-5
Children of the light will not be able to pray against and
successfully counter Satan's
destructive plans
if we bid God speed (vote for) one or more of his followers to have authority over us.
One must not cast his vote for the human agents whose
purpose for being in office is to fulfill
the goals of the rulers of the darkness of this world:
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. (Eph. 6:12)
Voting
for one of Satan's representatives so that he can rule over us
is a form of giving place to the devil:
"Neither give place to the devil." Eph. 4:27
We cannot stand against the
political and spiritual wiles of the devil if we vote one of his followers to
rule over us:
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the
wiles of the devil. Eph. 6:11
Satan's Work in the Earth Via His
Elected Agents
Satan is a king in the earth (Rev. 9:11) and his dominion
is that of darkness. (Acts 26:18). He appoints workers of
darkness to carry our his rule in the world. Christians must
submit to the ruling authorities (as long as the ruling
authorities do not require them to disobey God) but we must not fall into the snare of voting Satan's workers into positions of authority.
To
do so is to ensure that we will not be able to counteract
their evil deeds through prayer.
Satan's motives are destructive,
thus the motives of his
followers—who Christians are encouraged (and manipulated) to vote into office—will also be
destructive. (John 10:10, 1 Pet. 5:8)
Satan works to hinder the work and Word of God. (Daniel
10:12, 13), Mark 4:15, 1 Thess. 2:18) His elected
representatives do the same.
Satan deceives the nations. (Rev. 12:9; 20:3,8). His
elected officials also operate by way of deception.
Satan afflicts men
spiritually and physically. (2 Cor. 12:7) His agents pass laws
and policies that accomplish this goal.
Christians are not able to
stand against the wiles of Satan via elected officials if we
give the devil a foothold:
"Neither give place to
the devil." Ephesians 4:7
Christians today can and
must stand against the power of the enemy in prayer but the
ability to successfully pray against the goals of the devil
(via his politicians, ministers, etc.) is not unconditional.
Spiritual authority is conditioned upon the Christian's
obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ and his refusal to give place to the devil.
Followers of the Lord
Jesus Christ must not be ignorant of Satan's devices "lest
he should get an advantage of us." (2 Cor. 2:11) Voting for the
"lesser of the evils" is one such device.
What
Should I Do if I Have Already Cast My Vote For the "Lesser of
the Evils"?
For those of
you who acknowledge that you have (either recently or years
ago) voted for the so-called "lesser of the evils" and now
desire to have authority in your prayers against the devices
of evil men, you
can do this by first confessing your sin to God:
"If we
confess
our
sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our
sins, and to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9)
Next, take back the
spiritual place you unwittingly gave to the devil by voting
for candidates who represent his interests. You can use the words I have provided or choose
your own wording. The point is to be very serious about recovering the spiritual "place" you
gave to the devil so that you can now effectively pray
against his wicked devices:
In the name of my Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ, I renounce voting into off the
follow people: (Name the people you voted into office.)
I renounce voting for these people, who I now realize
are serving the one world agenda (Satan) through their
actions. I reject all evil spirits who have been able to
operate in my life because of this sin, even though I
committed it in ignorance, and I close the doors to them
completely.
Dear Father in Heaven,
Help me to effectively stand against the wiles of the
devil in prayer. Please make me aware of the other ways I
have compromised my right to have spiritual authority
(in the name of Jesus Christ) over the power
of the enemy. Help me to work while it is day, for the
night is coming when no man can work. I ask you
this in Jesus' name, Amen
May God help his people,
who are called
out of darkness into his
marvelous light, to stand against the wiles of the devil
and to further the work and Word of God through effectual,
fervent prayer.
