The countdown to the 2012 elections from today is exactly 40 days. Two days ago, precisely on September 25 as I prayed about the upcoming elections and listened to the Lord, this is what God spoke back to me "Let every man do what he wants to do, I am still God and I sit on my throne."
As an emissary of God to the nations, I take particular attention to His mood and emotions, and not only the words He speaks, so I persisted communing with God for more insight into this short answer.
With such a response from God you will notice that God did not show much interest in the election subject I raised for discussion with Him.
If you read our books you will see that the Lord usually spoke at length about several issues we brought before Him, and in line with the commission He gave us. He instructs us in details about His will being the destiny humanity should pursue. Therefore the only times God spoke very little means that He is not pleased.
It is a fearful thing if God has no interest in the affairs of His creation. As the Ever Concerned God, who is always concerned about His people, His word and His name, if He becomes less concerned about us, it means we have gone astray as a nation, and as such, we need to quickly rise up and correct our ways.
The upcoming elections are very critical because of the precarious times the nation of America is facing. Bluntly put, no man can save America. This is what we as a nation should be pondering on, and place our political ideologies and convictions aside and pray to God in accordance with the prescribed solution for nations in crisis in 2 Chronicles 7:14 "if My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
I do not need to brief you about how America as a country is built by God for His divine purpose. Having travelled to other lands as a missionary, I have heard time after time, America being referred to as "Gods' Own Country", so if the people of America have forgotten who they are, that’s too bad! People in other countries know the USA exactly as God spoke in that scripture, "if My people, who are called by My name."
Why has God lost interest in the affairs of America, you will find the answer in the actions of King Jeroboam in 1 Kings 14:7-9, "Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, for as much as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel, 8. And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in mine eyes; 9. But hast done evil above all that were before thee: for thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back."
We all know that this election is about two parties or two ideologies so if the above scripture describes one candidate as such, how about the other candidate? Let us look at Jeremiah 17:5-7, "I, the LORD, have put a curse on those who turn from me and trust in human strength. 6. They will dry up like a bush in salty desert soil, where nothing can grow. 7. But I will bless those who trust me."
So according to these revelation, I have painted a true picture of the two candidates, one decided to put God behind him and is going without God; and the other is without trust in God, rather trusting in or would be trusting in human strength, the arm of flesh.
This the true picture of the upcoming elections which is why the nation of America will have to rise and pray to God for divine intervention so that God will become once more concerned about America and have His way to declare His glory, working with the will of whoever comes to power.
Understand this: if the nation does not pray, someone with the wherewithal, the ways and means can remain in power or come into power, and it may not reflect the will of God. This often happens in human affairs; whereby men accomplish their desires without God.
There is a great possibility that either of the candidates if elected may not acknowledge and lean on God and this will be a disaster, considering where America is right now. However let me quickly add that with God all things are possible.
Also let us be encouraged that "the king's heart is in the hand of Jehovah as the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He will" Proverbs 21:1.
God is always looking for people He can partner to do what needs to be done. When we pray God will choose the right candidate who will listen to divine counsel and turn to Him for guidance.
I want to encourage you to PRAY and SEEK the face of God on behalf of this great nation, so that God will intervene and have His way and His will.
May the will of God be done in America as it is in Heaven.
