With the election not yet resolved, the world has become a scarier place. 

Yesterday, the Attorney General announced that there would be investigations.  And who knows, those investigations may turn into criminal ones.  But will it be enough to set aside the media’s choice of Biden as winner? No one really knows.  America appears to be crumbling, and that frightens a lot of us.

But although our beloved country may be in trouble, we are not!

God was in charge then and He is now!

A wise friend sent me a great message after the media declared for Biden:

“Sometimes when life seems SO hard, it is easy to forget that God’s answers to our prayers impact many others and involve many different things, WAY BEYOND our immediate requests. Truly, God needs first to save His Children and expand His Kingdom. In Jesus’ Name. Thy Will be done. Amen.”

It would be really great if every human being would accept Christ as their Savior and put God first, when life was easy. But one has only to look around to know that this was not happening.

However, God uses “all things to the good of His people”, and He will use this election as well.  In the end, because of this election, more people will choose Christ. 

And really, isn’t that the mission?  Bring as many as we can to Heaven with us ?

^” And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.”-Luke 21:25-26 KJV

Is our nation facing Judgement or the End Times? It’s hard to say, especially since only our Father “knows the day and the hour”.

A woman had a vision once, two suns appeared in a rearview mirror. The message on the rearview mirror was that “Objects are closer than they appear”

We need to walk with Jesus now!. Accept Jesus as our Savior and Live as the Bible teaches us. And we will return to our home-Heaven-together 🙂

We don’t often think about the great power of God, but God does have great power! God created the world in which we live. He created the mountains, the rivers, the seas, and the fields…He created the sun, the moon and the stars, the animals and us! When we choose to actively focus on that, we have no fears!

The evil that is currently being spread by those who serve evil ‘s cause is nothing to God. Their power is little compared to God’s Great Power.

Why is this important? Because while the gates of hell may seem to be prevailing, they are NOT! God has more than enough power to protect us, no matter who wins this election. And God will because He loves us!

So today, Rest in God’s Great Power. He has more than enough to protect you and all those you love!

A friend of mine always says, “Prepare, Watch and Pray”. Good advice for every day use 🙂

So how do we prepare? Some say we don’t need to, but preparation never hurts! We don’t know who will “win” this election, or how long it might be in court. But taking steps to “prepare” can not hurts us, it can only help us 🙂

First, buy a Bible NOW.  While they are still written as they should be.  God’s Word reminds us of just how much God loves us and how faithful He is. We will need those reminders in the coming days. And we will want to share them. Also there are many who wish to alter the Bible so that God’s Word will allow them to lead whatever lifestyle they choose.  We need God’s Word as it is, not as some wish it were.

Christianbook.com has some very inexpensive Bibles.   Personally, I use the KJV version, but I have a really good friend who uses the ESV version.  What matters is make sure you buy a Bible that was produced before 2021, and one that truly reflects God’s Word.

Second, I heard a great idea on the radio.  Decorate early for Christmas.  Normally, I like to wait until Thanksgiving.  But the person on the radio had a great idea!  Not only are Christmas decorations happy, but they remind us every day that Jesus came and He is coming back!  So put those lights up, light up your neighborhood. We need not fear!

Third (or maybe it should be first, lol) Thank Jesus.  There is a site that sells Thank You Jesus yard signs!  Here is a link:  Thank You Jesus Yard Signs. I have personally ordered from them, and this is the most inexpensive place to get them that I know of.  A young man started it and you can feel really good about helping him spread Christ’s love for us ?

Fourth, Keep a prayer journal.  It’s important to realize that God is still here.  And He still loves you.  There may be some really hard times.  It will help to know that God is still listening and still answering your prayers!

Fifth, Wear a Cross. There may soon come a time where the church (meaning God’s people) are forced to “go underground”. Remember the fish? In the old days, Christians hung a fish above their door or drew one on the ground to single that Christians were welcome and safe. If such as day comes again, Christians may need to be careful.

But right now, we are still free! When we wear a cross, it reminds us of what is important to us, and it also encourages the Christians we encounter, for they know they are among “family”. While we are still free to wear a Cross, wear one and encourage one another 🙂

These are just a few ideas. Share your own! Be The Light!

Despite the great uncertainty of today, there are still some things that are just as certain today as they were yesterday.

God is still here! He hasn’t moved. He still has us, and He won’t leave us! We will never struggle alone and Heaven is still our future 🙂

What’s happening today is no surprise to God! And it really shouldn’t be to us. This was always going to happen. But even in the struggle, there is hope in that there is great goodness in the American people. And of course, there is great goodness in God 🙂

Use that Holy Spirit Discipline! Pray even if you don’t feel like it. Especially if you don’t feel like it. Salvation is not about how we feel on any given day, it’s about who we choose to follow every day!

God loves us and He is not going to stop now. So take Jesus’ Hand and follow Him Home 🙂

The “polls” say that the majority of Americans view this as the most stressful day of their life-I hope not. Dare I say, I pray not!

Our Lord Jesus is still our Savior and God our Father still loves us. And God is far more powerful than anyone on this earth. Do not fear today’s electoral outcome or the polls my friend, for our Lord is still with us! No matter what happens today.

And God IS with us and He is for us – always
