Invisable Power

I know today is a big day as we anticipate the results of the presidential election.  I know many of you if not all are done with all the ads, phone calls and discussions that have inundated our lives.
In one way it may have gotten on your last nerve but in another way it was great to see people be so passionate about America and actually be a part of the election.   I will have to admit my own personal guilt in not being more involved with past elections.

Gems the thing I want to talk about in this jewel is your passion. I hope you will openly have the same passion for your Savior that  you had for your candidate.

You see God is in control no matter what the outcome of this election and although we should do our part the end result will be His decision.

I heard a message Sunday that really hit the core of this jewel. It takes place at Jesus trial before His crucifixion. 

Mark 14:57-58 Then some rose up and bore flase witness against Him saying, "We heard Him say, "I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.

Our next president will affect the things that are built with human hands which no doubt affect our human lives. 

We as Christians need to be more concerned with the things that are built without human hands.

Let me give you an example.  If President Obama is re- elected it will not mean the lost I’m praying for will be saved.

If Governor Romney is elected it will not help men and women find healing from past experiences.

Neither one of these men will be able to lead brothers and sisters to repentance of sin or a relationship with Jesus Christ. They won’t be able to break down the walls of unforgivness or comfort the heart of a person who has lost a loved one.

The things that are built without hands are the things that only the Holy Spirit can do. Only the power of Jesus Christ shed blood can cover our sins.  Understanding there is only ONE mighty, Holy God that created this unseen kingdom. These are the amazing things that are built without human hands.

Gems as Christians we are held accountable for our sprit walk. We will be judged by our love walk when we stand before the Lord not our political affiliation. We will be asked how we used our talents to build the kingdom of God not the agenda of man.

Again I’m not saying we shouldn’t be involved in political things, we are called to be involved.

Romans 13:1-2 "Let every person be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. Therefore he who resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves.

I just want to remind you that when the results are in we will still be serving the same God no matter who the president is.
He will still be counting on us to be the tools used by the Holy Spirit to do spiritual things like bringing unity to the body of Christ.
“he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.” Ephesians 1:9-10  

Gems here is our bottom line.

Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on HIS shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

 
He is our invisible power! May His force be with you.
