Isaiah 31
1 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!
...
3 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out His hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.

Genesis 14
21 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.
22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,

Comments by Joan Boney: apostle/prophet of Jesus Christ according to Ephesians 4:11-12
Some people, even church people, desire reward from governments of this world.
It is far better to trust in God for our provision. I know as long as God leaves me on this earth, HE will provide for me. I would not want to trade the provision of God for that provision that man might do for me.
(A temporary help vs. permanent eternal help!)

If we vote for a man and that man does evil, by our approval of that man, we partake of that man's evil deeds according to the apostle John. So think about what you are about to do as a Christian.
II John
8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
