The media is abuzz with reports and speculations about the presidential election that is now taking place...
As a prison inmate, I am not allowed to vote. I wish that I could, however. It would be an honor to do so. I have no citizen's rights as a convicted felon.
But my feeling about this election is that God is always in control of circumstances and situations. He is a God, I am certain, who is genuinely concerned about the welfare of every person in this world, no matter where they live. So, He cares about America.
Yet I also believe that we are a nation in desperate need of a spiritual awakening. To me, God is more concerned with human hearts than with politics. He does, however, put into position leaders that a nation deserves. The Scriptures clearly demonstrate this.
As for many of America's churches - please forgive me if I am stepping on someone's toes - they are very backslidden and carnal, looking to worldly entertainments and emotional stirrings to keep things "pumped up", and to keep the people coming.
Many churches, in my observation, have no love between members. Because of this the Holy Spirit has been grieved, and His power has been quenched, for a long time.
But God may soon do or allow something to help awaken us from our low spiritual state. For a shaking is coming which, I believe, shall cause the church to get "on fire" for the Lord. If not, then many congregations will continue their slide into complacency, apathy and indifference.
