MY TWO CENTS WORTH
By Myrtle Poor
Good morning my good friends. Greetings from The Sooner State. It has been a while since I have written for I have been busy getting my book finished and ready to publish. Now that it is finished I have to move on to something else.
I hope you are all well. I see so many prayer requests come to me about so many different things everyday that lets me know that the battles we fight today are not of flesh and blood, but of powers and principalities not of this world. I want you to know that I pray for you everyday.
If you are wondering why the yellow background, it helps me see the print better. If you don't like the yellow background all you have to do is to go up to format and pull it down then go all the way to the bottom and click on no stationary and it will remove it. (Enough killing time here) I must get on with this article.
Have you ever had the anointing of the Lord on you so strong to do something that your heart is pounding and your palms are sweaty and you just break out in a cold sweat. Well I have. That is how I feel now. The Lord is leading me to write this article and I keep trying to pull back from it. It is really a great tug of war going on here inside of me.......but guess who is going to win? God of course, For I don't like not being in his perfect will. By not doing the things he asks me to do I am crucifying him all over again, and my oh my, he suffered enough on the cross I wouldn't want to cause him anymore pain.
I don't get into politics much, for the candidates never tell what they stand for or what they will do for us. All they do on both sides it to tell how much this one or the other voted for or didn't vote for humpteens time for something that is already in the past. We don't need to know their voting record, but what they intend to do for us.
Lies spout from some of their mouths like running water constantly and constantly. Depending on whose side you're on what you believe.
The people I talk to are scared to death of what is going on around us. There is an uncertainty of the things to come. People are afraid of things that are unknown, but if you are a child of God you don't have to be. Either way he will take care of us.
David said in Psalm 37:25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
Stand firm in what you believe and let the Lord lead you. Pray about who to vote for. Listen closely to what each candidate is saying. Ask the Lord to show you when you are watching them. The one that is not of God will do or say something that will let you know he is not right. The Lord has a way of tripping Satan up with his own words.
1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV) says:
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
Big changes are coming so I would like to tell you all again to please pray about who to vote for. Don't vote for a candidate just because you are the same party they are. Ask God and he will lead you who to vote for. He has me. I had rather go on as we are and have the freedom of worship, than to have all that stripped from us and end up in a nation where we lose all our Christian rights. A nation where the Christians are beaten or killed for believing on the Lord.
Just the other day a person said to me that if their candidate got in, all the Radical Christian Fanaticals would go down and be trampled under their feet. I don't really think that person meant me, for I know them, and they are really a good person. But they didn't realize when they said it to me, that I am a true Christian and so I guess I fit in that group. It made me want to stand up and hold God's banner just a little bit higher.
I feel led to share this verse with you. I know not every one of you will agree with me. If not then please just delete it. I know not everyone agrees in political concerns and that is ok. I don't agree with everything some of you send me either, but I read them anyway. LOL. Just kidding
