Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
The Lord has been teaching me to Love, and love unconditionally. On this quest I have come to realize that we are ALL members of a greater government......yes the Fathers heavenly government!
You see, we are told to pray for the king and our leaders. Why do you suppose that is? I have come to realize that God has a complete organizational system in heaven! He has a governmental system and he created it! Without fatherly love and organization, you get chaos! Leaders come under great duress, and we are told to pray for them!
Do you remember the old saying? For evil to triumph, good men need only to do nothing! Or not to stand for good is to except evil! WE all must STAND before the Lord our God when the time comes. Did you stand, or did you watch?
God the father puts whoever he likes in positions of authority. We don't control that, but we must do our best to contribute to the governmental affairs that lead mens lives down one path or the other, towards good, or bad. We are responsable for our own hearts and what they produce by our decisions. Our great country and land were blessed by God Almighty. Our forefathers did something unbelievable when they created our constitution and declaration of independence. They could NEVER have done that without divine guidance!!
So I think that we have one of the most precious gifts bestowed upon us, by God himself, when he incorperated our system of government and placed it in our hands. What we do with it has always been the question.
You choose the BEST you can and STAND UP for what GOD gave us. And yes, it is the greatest responsability of man, to his fellow man. And in exercising that right, we LOVE each other, by at least TRYING to protect one another's brotherly needs.
I don't believe that our Lord Jesus Christ wants us to be bistanders in the fight against EVIL. I will do my best, and cast my vote for whom I think will perform his duties, to honor my God with his decisions, and I will pray for him to accomplish it. My conciense is clear from there, and I can continue to pursue my goal of winning the PRIZE that is in heaven! There is where my hearts desire is, but I must do my part to keep EVIL in check and make the best decision that I can. This one will be easy!
With all praise to our Lord,
YBIC Michael P
