A Second Email to God

 

You write: “Dear God, You know that, during the past century, we have been blessed in so many ways.  But these days, life is getting tough. In the coming election, how should we vote to get ‘the good old days’ back again?”

In my opinion, God would reply something like this: “I know that many in the land in which you live have thought of themselves as ‘blessed.’ However, they think that being ‘blessed’ has to do with being affluent, owning an expensive car and a big home (or two), plus a boat or a plane. Please remember that I made and own everything—the universe, Planet Earth, and the body in which you live. My Son made it ever so clear that ‘being blessed’ has to do with using life to glorify Me by serving everyone else.

 

Please remember that My Son Jesus is all around you in disguise. As He taught in Matthew 25:31-46, He is the hungry one, the thirsty one, the lonely one, the one who lacks clothing, the sick person, and the prison inmate.

 

I urge you to do all you can to influence all people, no matter what their position in life, to understand and reflect My Son’s servant lifestyle. Yes, tell others about the forgiveness that Jesus offers them—but also show them the servant Jesus you want them to believe in and follow.

 

When you vote, keep in mind that ‘being blessed’ does not mean accumulating more material goods. It means devoting life to meeting the needs of all on Planet Earth.”

God, How Should We Vote?

If we were to send an email to God asking for advice about how to vote on November 6, how might He respond?

Thank you for your email. In light of what is being stated in your news media, I am grateful that you wish to have input from Me.

 

You who live in the United States refer to yourselves as “One Nation Under God.” However, I need to ask you, “Which god, and what does it mean to live under that god?”

My beloved Son Jesus revealed My answers to these questions (and hundreds of others) during His ministry. When someone asked Jesus to get involved in a dispute about dividing his father’s inheritance, Jesus told him a parable that made it clear that no person on Planet Earth owns anything—not the ground on which they stand and not the body in which they live (Luke 12:13-21). I made everything, and everything belongs to Me. I have no special, favorite people. Those who belong to me do so, not because of what they do or have done or where they live, but because of what I have done for them through the life, death and resurrection of My Son.

It disturbs Me when people insist that religion and politics should never be mixed together. Please remember that if people do not let My Holy Spirit teach and empower them to walk through life My Servant Son’s way, then Satan is leading them his way! What is Satan’s way? “Live for self! Live for self!” It is either “My way” or “Satan’s way.” In relation to the coming election, the issue is not which party gets the majority vote, but who determines the policies of that party.

Again, thank you for your email. I look forward to keeping in touch with you throughout life! There are so many things that I want to talk to you about. And remember, you already have my biggest email in your home–My Word, the Bible! Please read it so that I can keep on teaching and inspiring you.
