I watched millions of the younger generation throwing their
heart and enthusiasm to a charismatic speaker who came out of
nowhere, from a background that had no wealth or a big name to
prove anything, but that in America anyone can become president!
We Americans are very proud of that fact and we should be! The
thing that troubled me was the message presented. America needed
change! What kind of change?
America has been for more than 200 years a beacon of light and
hope to the nations, showing that a life of freedom for the common
man is possible as long as he knows how true freedom works. It
is built upon the inner control of every citizen who knows right
from wrong, good from bad, and lives by an ethic which teaches
how to make right choices and also takes the responsibility for
his or her choices.
I have watched through many past elections how the American
liberal media has tried to erase the moral signposts of the Christian-Judeo
ethics, by which our forefathers founded our nation. I also wondered
how our young people could know right from wrong after prayer
was taken out of schools, the 10 Commandments ridiculed, while
major Christian denominations are questioning the inerrancy of
the Bible?
America did what Israel did as we read in Judges 2:10 “…and
there arose another generation after them (their elders) who
did not know the Lord, nor yet the work which HE had done for
Israel.” Didn’t the elders teach them?
Last night the Lord showed me the reason for the happenings
of this last election.
If former elections were muddled or hard to analyze, this election
gave America a clear-cut choice! Would people vote their pocketbook
or the future murder of many more millions of unborn babies?
When the Lord brought in a courageous Christian woman, out of
nowhere, who fearlessly declared her faith in God and her “right
of life” position by having her autistic baby and her pregnant
teenage daughter up at the platform with her, the Lord forced
an issue upon the American media, which they had tried to ignore.
The candidate of their choice had blocked the “Born Alive
Infant Protection Act” legislation that would require hospitals
to care for infants who survive abortion. He singlehandedly defeated
it as a state senator in 2003, but voted “present” (neither “yes” nor “no”)
on the state senate floor. However, he always spoke against it!
His church belongs to one of America’s most stridently
pro-abortion denominations.
I come from a background that has left me unimpressed, even
disturbed, when large crowds follow a charismatic leader who
promises full pocketbooks. Hitler came in because of the bad
German economy and the nation was fooled by the prompt improvement
of finances (after he took over) which promised prosperity. The
land of the Reformation became the land of the Holocaust because
the German nation betrayed her Christian heritage. Yes, and Hitler
brought abortion to a systematic level and declared the killing
of unborn babies a national duty, if the pregnant woman was interfering
with the superiority of the Aryan race! What is America’s
excuse?
Well, our American masses have made a clear choice – and
where does it leave those who have prayed, believed, hoped and
voted according to Biblical principles?
If we have prayed much before election day, we need to pray
more than ever after the outcome! We must continue our pleading
for mercy for our judgment-bound nation. Yes, we shall pray for
our authorities and the new president, because God has told us
to do so! (1Tim. 2:1-2)
As for the “Remnants” of Believers who are the Body
of Christ on this earth, we must pray more, spend more time daily
with our Lord and open our hearts to the Holy Spirit, to be prepared
for good or evil times ahead! If the economy improves, let’s
get out of debt! If the economy worsens, let’s learn to
live in a simplified lifestyle, for God’s people are never
alone or forsaken! God will always take care of HIS kids.
As for the two candidates who “lost” the election,
I praise God for the witness they gave not only to the American
people but to the wide world that life is sacred from the beginning.
(When John the Baptist leaped in his mother’s womb when
the mother of Jesus with Jesus in her womb came to visit, is
the Bible declaring a moment of awe or the kick of a worthless
fetus without a brain?)
We need to pray for those who won and those who lost in this
election. In heaven’s eyes earthly losers are often God’s
triumphant winners! May all of us be counted as victors as we
finish our race for Christ.
Shalom Shalom
Hansi and Betty
We wish you the most blessed Thanksgiving. May God give us all
a grateful heart.
