Yes... this is my personal rant about the election. π
Let me start by saying, "I'm NOT for any political party OR person." Quite frankly, I have very opposing views on individuals and parties as it relates to my personal spiritual walk and belief system. I will say this again and louder, for the ones in the back as they say, "I'M NOT FOR ANY POLITICAL PARTY OR PERSON."
For me, it's all YAHWEH and I personally am going to go with YAHWEH.
I DON'T CARE WHAT WAY THE WIND BLOWS.
I REPEAT.
I DO NOT CARE WHAT WAY THE WIND BLOWS. I believe in the god that answers by FIRE. I believe in the god that gives me the power to walk on water, part the Red Sea, and send ravens to feed me. IT DOES NOT MATTER one bit WHAT the "world" does - I just want in alignment WITH HIM.
HOWEVER...
I'm not IGNORANT to the fact that Yahweh uses MANY things for HIS agenda and for HIS glory. That being said, when prophetic teaching goes forth from men and women I highly respect - I listen. When I see believers say that Yahweh showed them something different than they themselves even wanted to believe - I listen. I listen attentively because I have experienced the wise things of Yahweh that look foolish to others.
It wasn't the election itself that posed confusion and grieved my heart - it was the hatred and division among people; and STRONG hatred being released when people who spoke in support of Trump. It was the arrogance of others to completely tear down the character and nature of people just because they wanted to vote for Trump. I was grieved seeing that opinions and beliefs were not respected because if you voted for Trump, you "had" to now be "xyz" or agree with something totally evil.
I re-shared a post on my Facebook page in which the woman stated that she was not ever in agreement with the Republican party and especially Trump, but she prayed and asked Yahweh and His reply was Trump. Just that one share - I had people comment on my status that don't even interact with me on a daily or even monthly basis. One had the audacity to imply that I or the woman's status whom I shared apparently didn't have "common sense" and then another mentioned that they were "saddened" to see Christians think as such.
Whew LAWD. If I wasn't dead in Yeshua it would have been on but what would that profit my call? If you know me, then you know that I don't give a lot of useless energy to "arguing" over my viewpoint. I mean, come on. We're adults right? But my goodness... my timeline grieved me soooooooo much. The fact that people would judge and insult someone for a difference of opinion is one thing but to judge and insult the spiritual beliefs of someone is a whole NEW level of persecution. I began to see this thing in the supernatural. What angered people so much about this election? What angered people to the point where they feel bold enough to call another human being ignorant, stupid, and etc. just because they don't agree with them? It bothered the HELL out of me, if I could be honest.
As I always say, the world will be the world - but us believers? I saw believers judge, condemn, insult others who dared to say anything in support of Trump. MY GOD of HEAVEN'S ARMIES. I just couldn't believe it. So... I went to my Father. I had to hear for myself.
One night, I laid on my husband's chest and I prayed silently over my dreams that the Holy Spirit would reveal to me who He would use in His kingdom as it related to this presidency. I asked Him to reveal it to me that I may know and that I may know who to pray for and what to pray. These were my silent prayers - without looking or listening to ANYONE. I only wanted to hear my Father's visions as He has led me so many times before in my dreams.
I dreamed a dream that night and when I woke up - the first thing I did was write my dreams. Without going into the details of the dream - it was shown to me, "the red team" and then the words "Republican party" was shared with me. Once I heard that, I didn't question - I immediately went into intercessory prayer for the electoral college, the election, Donald Trump, and the Word I was given. See that? I didn't have to agree. I didn't have to question. I didn't have to wonder. I didn't pause or doubt HIM. Obedience was in my heart because I trust my Father.
Now, some spiritually ignorant person will read this and probably judge me. I don't care. I don't give myself dreams; lol. I mean... what do you want me to say? But I do have questions to believers and believers only.
See, it wouldn't be "common sense" for me to expect a non-believer to seek the will of Yahweh over this election but it is the responsibility of ANYONE who claims to be a believer to do so. As a believer, I wonder who has fasted and prayed and went deep into the spirit realm to ask the Father about His heart - or at least just prayed. See, we're living in a prophetic season and this election is spiritual. The hell on Earth should be evident enough. People keep saying we're picking the "lesser of two evils" but these are the people that have not obviously sought the heavens. This election is spiritual. I say again, this. election. is. spiritual.
As a believer - who are we to argue with the voice of Yahweh? Have we gotten that bold??
The most intriguing thing I saw was this - "The Bible says to judge by the fruit..."
Oh, it's amazing to me how we "believers" will twist the Word for our own beliefs but won't apply it to our own lives. How often do we judge the fruit of our lifestyles to the Word?
I later shared on Facebook that I had this dream, without saying who I believed Yahweh showed me but one person asked which party. I knew, before I even answered, that the person was basically asking with an agenda. But I -without reserve- answered because I've never backed down when I believe Yahweh has spoken to me. I told him, the Republican party.
The first thing this individual told me to do was to unfriend him and that Yahweh was neither Democrat or Republic. WHEW. πInteresting this is the first thing that this religious spirit will try to twist (just like the devil who twists the Word). I never said, and I am not saying, that Yahweh is either political party. I am saying that when I (me, myself, and I) prayed for an answer - the REPUBLICAN party was my answer. This is the same answer that many other believers who SOUGHT the voice of heaven have also said, Marcus Rogers being another - who is attacked heavily for standing boldly on what He believes Yahweh has told him. People are even going as far to say he's a false prophet, he's trying to sow division and so much more. One woman said she's never, ever voted Republican but that her family fasted and prayed and that's what Yahweh showed her - to vote Republican. OMG...π²
I can see if you're not a believer - it wouldn't matter one way or another. You're going with carnal principles. But as a believer - who gave you a pass to attempt to usurp anyone's spiritual convictions? This, my friend, is what persecution looks like. I say the Lord gave me a dream, vision, or an answered prayer and the first thing you attempt to do is undermine what they believe instead of closing your mouth and truly seeking Him for yourself.
Listen. He is not the author of confusion. He is very specific and very intentional. He will confirm His Word - and His Word will not return void. And so many believers are so sure about Biden - on their own understanding when the heart is deceptive and when we are suppose to acknowledge HIM in all of our ways so that HE can direct our paths.
As a church, we have no regard for prophetic vision or even the "common spiritual sense" to TEST the spirit by the SPIRIT - not your flesh and small mind! We barely listen and obey with our own lifestyles but think that our minds can lead us in the things of the spirit. How are you not receiving a Word from God to purify yourself yet you can trust "your spirit" to tell you Biden is the "biblical" choice? Make it make sense to me.
Anyway... so the next next day, as I woke from a dream, I heard the Republican nominee's name be announced as the new president. I mean... I'm just saying. He will always confirm His Word. You really never have to wonder with Him.
Ok. Let's for sake of argument say, "The devil heard my silent prayers to the Father and gave me the wrong dream to deceive me." πππ
CRICKETS.
Uhhhh yeah... I can't even follow that mindset. But Y'all really out here thinking people want to support Trump when in actually, it's a spiritual responsibility. Don't judge just because you're not trying to listen. The person on my timeline said he felt sorry for us "Christians." In actuality, I feel sorry for a believer who is completely led by flesh and unable to discern between the natural and spiritual realm.
I don't have all of the answers. I can't defend Trump or any of the things that people don't like about him. I have no opinion of him because I respect the position he has as president. My job is not to form an opinion about him; my job as a believer is to honor and respect him - and pray for him. That's the Word of Yahweh - take it or leave it. AS A BELIEVER, this is what we're called to do.
My denomination is KINGDOM. My political party is KINGDOM. Whatever advances the KINGDOM is where my loyalty lies - and it doesn't matter how carnal or foolish it seems.
Now, people are ridiculing believers praying and standing on what they believe. It's mind blowing, I tell you - as mind blowing as it is seeing the arrogance of believers who are convinced Biden is the better of the two. Once again - and finally - this isn't about either of these men as humans. This isn't about who is more likable.
What else can I say except - I grieve for the church. I grieve for the souls that we are supposed to be saving but we're too divided and too carnal minded. π
