💥 Some of the reasons I do not vote for governments of men ... by Joan Boney

The Bible says the following concerning kings, rulers, and governments of men of this world.

1 Timothy 2:1-3   I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

I do pray for various leaders of governments of men but I do not vote for anyone.

💥  I was very shocked to see on the platform of a recent Democratic political meeting a man dressed as a woman.  HE was obviously a man for a beard was showing slightly on his face.  The other people on the platform were hugging him and showing this homosexual man that they strongly approved him.

Homosexuals and Lesbians:  What the Bible says:

Romans 1

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of HIM from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even HIS eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified HIM not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Mark 10:6  But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

God turned them over to reprobate minds and "vile affections"

2 John verses 8-11

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.

If a man or woman goes against Bible and we "wish him well," we are considered by God to be partaker of his evil deeds, and we will lose reward.

A friend of this world is the enemy of God.  If we support those things done by this world while they are against the Bible, we are the "enemy of God".

James 4:4  Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

I Corinthians 6:9-10  Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate (homosexuals), nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

I do not personally trust any politician of either political party in USA.  I believe a person would have to compromise in order to be elected.  I do not choose to partake of either party, though I will pray for the rulers, for the Bible shows me to pray for them.

Jesus said:

John 18:36     MY kingdom is not of this world: if MY kingdom were of this world, then would MY servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is MY kingdom not from hence.

My "kingdom" is not of this world either.

The saints of old in the Bible sought a new heaven and new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Hebrews 11

13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.

15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for HE hath prepared for them a city.

I consider myself to be a "stranger and pilgrim" on this earth and I look for a new heaven and new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness.

2 Peter 3:10-14  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

(As I was reading verse 13 one day, God said to me:  "You'll never make this present earth righteous no matter what you do."  It is the born again, elect of God, having a new heart and new spirit from God that do righteousness as they follow God.  Eze. 36)

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.

(We cannot stay in peace as we fight the other political party.)

The king of Sodom offered great riches to Abraham.

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,

23 That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:

Like Abraham, I want my "provision" to come from God.  I do not look to governments of men for my "wealth".

And I know the following:

Philippians 4:19  But my God shall supply all your need according to HIS riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

I am fully persuaded that as long God leaves me on this earth HE will supply all my needs.

I do not look to governments of men to provide for me.

I live in peace because I pray over my concerns and settle my cares with God through HIM.

I pray, but I do not vote just because men of this world tell us to vote and we are praised by them when we vote.

God chose me to serve HIM and by HIS Word I serve God.
