Dear Voters,
On November 4th citizens everywhere will flock to the polls to vote for the next president of the United States of America. Some will vote with little conviction, others will vote as fervently as a zealot. For those of faith, some will bow their heads before God and ask for the blessings of a certain candidate.
Regardless of the Constitution, in America today there is a very close relationship between Church and State. Perhaps this relationship is not necessarily official as it was in the past but nevertheless the influence that religion has on the United States government is apparent, with the 2004 election standing as a blaring example.
Today we hear our candidates trying to proclaim God in many of their election speeches, trying to convince the voter that they have a close relationship with God and that as a result, they would be better able to lead our country. Many churches are so in tune with this religious rhetoric that many of them have officially endorsed a certain candidate and even go as far as to tell their followers that in order to see God's will done,they must vote a certain way. For many, voting is not just a patriotic duty, but a religious duty as well. For those who believe this, this message is for you:
By the time the world awakes on the morning of November 5th, one of the two candidates will have been elected President of the United States of America. This personal will be the leader of one of the most powerful nations arguably in the history of the world and will control more wealth and might than any nation before it. As Commander in Chief, the President Elect will be in control of the most advanced and deadly army on Earth, capable of bringing death almost instantaneously to anyone at any point on the globe with a single command. Under his command many great things may happen but also many horrible things as well. People will die. Rights will be violated. Morals will be broken.
On November 5th, no matter how religious the candidate may be, no matter how close their relationship with God is, no matter how pious that candidate has tried to make himself appear to the public, that candidate WILL BECOME CAESAR.
This message is not meant to eliminate the hope that many people may hold in any particular candidate but is merely meant to wake up those voters who have put an almost religious faith into their candidate. No matter how much faith we have in a candidate at the end of the day that candidate is Caesar and is in charge of a kingdom that is NOT our own.
WE however belong to a GREATER KINGDOM with an already CROWNED KING and that is where our HOPE should lay and that is where our ALLEGIANCE should lay as well. On November 5th God's will will be done and someone will be elected but that person, whomever it may be, will be Caesar, not David. Therefore, for all of you praying that "God's Candidate" get voted in on the 4th please realize that he will, but that we will not be the answer and he will not be the hope that we rely on.
True hope, true prosperity, and true peace can only come through the TRUE king- CHRIST. As for this election, give to Caesar what is Caesar's, my candidate is already KING!
Veritas et Aequitas,
Mike
