Presidential Election 2012

First of all, then, I admonish and urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all men. For kings and all who are in positions of authority or high responsibility, that [outwardly] we may pass a quiet and undisturbed life [and inwardly] a peaceable one in all godliness and reverence and seriousness in every way. 1 Timothy 2:1-2

Let every person be loyally subject to the governing (civil) authorities. For there is no authority except from God [by His permission, His sanction], and those that exist do so by God’s appointment. Romans 13:1

If President Obama is re-elected he will be only because our Father wanted him to be re-elected. If Governor Romney is elected it will be only because our Father wanted him to be elected. Regardless of who our Father wants in the Presidentency, they will be permitted to only do what all Father wants them to. Because all things, even Presidents, exist by our Father, through our Father, and for our Father’s good pleasure, 1 Corinthians 8:6 & Colossians 1:16.

We have been empowered with the Holy Spirit to know this Truth, John 14:26. So we have also been empowered with the Holy Spirit to pray for whoever our Father allows to be President. Now here is the really cool thing. There are Christian Democrats who will be offended if Governor Romney wins and there will be Christian Republicans who will be offended if President Obama wins. Both sides will have been praying for the guy that they want to win. But actually the Truth is that both will have been praying for what our Father wants.  How can that be?

So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance. Romans 8:26

The Holy Spirit will take all of our prayers and make them into what our Father wants. So relax, your prayers will be answered, regardless. Here is another great Truth, even if your guy doesn’t win, it will work out for your good!

We are assured and know that [ God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose. Romans 8:28
