For Christians, Voting is a Holy Activity!
IDOK DEVOTION FOR TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2008
By the time many of you read this Voting Day will have arrived (Tuesday).
Of course, I cannot tell you for whom to vote but I hope to strongly urge you in a Godly direction. Let me tell you who I am not voting for and why:
Not for One who has demonstrated that his allegiance is NOT given to the United States of America; he has alined himself and ‘Breaks Bread’ with those who openly say their Allegiance is not America but Africa. Adding to that he came up fast from obscurity, that should trouble you!
Not for One who says a woman has the right to choose to kill her unborn baby.
Not for ONE who has alined himself with a group of people who refuse to believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God. Jesus is not A God, He is THE GOD, always has been, always will be! We CANNOT work our way to Heaven — the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to get to Heaven and the only way to miss Hell.
This narrows my choice considerably, doesn’t it?
Decisions made in the Office of the President affect ME and I don’t want a man or a woman in that office who demonstrates a lack of allegiance to this Nation. I don’t want a man or woman in that office who is too cowardly or too immoral to know and profess that abortion murders babies! I don’t want a man or woman in that office who will not, at the very least, acknowledge that this Nation was founded upon the Principles and Values given to us by God Himself in His Word – The Holy Bible – and will do everything in his power to steer America back in that direction.
Proverbs 14:
33 Wisdom rests in the heart of him who has understanding, But what is in the heart of fools is made known.
34 Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a reproach to any people.
Tomorrow Lord willing I will endeavor to bring you a more ‘spiritual’ Word; no, I will endeavor to bring you a more ‘customary IDOK spiritual word’. Don’t let anyone lead you astray the greatest need in American Politics is JESUS CHRIST lived through His People! And Praise His Name, I AM one of His People!! And I vote! And my vote counts!!
And with all that said Sally sent me a link that I am passing on to you. Thank you, Sally!!
An excellent performance of singing praises. This particular hymn has always brought tears to my eyes even when it wasn’t done as well as this.
When you click the link below it opens up a new browser with a red background and a deep red square. Words come up explaining what it is about. After you read it you may have a short wait
Before the music starts. It is well worth the wait I promise. Your speakers should be on but not
Necessarily turned up too loud.
This is absolutely fabulous. Sit back, relax, and be prepared to be blown away by a kids and high school choir and band.

Father, only You can give us miracles and Lord I am asking You for plenty of them for things close at home and things further away. We pray for Kaitlyn; this is a tough battle for her and her family and we pray for health and help for Kaitlyn and her family. We continue to pray for Bev and her family; for the Burgess Family, for many families listed here who are recently grieving and others who have come a long way in the process. Thank You for Your peace and comfort for each of them.
Father, by the time IDOKs read this and lift up their own prayers to You it will be voting day for many States. It’s an important day in the life of America – Father, anoint Your Choice; have mercy on America. And not only voting day but Mardi Gras’ Fat Tuesday in a few places here along the Gulf Coast, Father forgive them. You know my prayer – Thy Will be done.
Keep our IDOK Troops safe again today; please let no harm come to any of them, not in mind, body or spirit. Help them think of You, talk to You and meditate upon Your Word. And please bring each one of them home safe when their mission is complete where they are today. I pray we will get the jobs done there and they will come home soon. I pray for America that You will forgive Her, have mercy on Her and bring us to Repentance. I pray for Israel that She will come to Know Her Peace, Her Prince of Peace. I pray You will pour out Yourself upon Your Church and bring us to revival. And Father, whatever I have forgotten or overlooked that any one of these needs, I pray You will grant it and they will receive it for Jesus sake. Amen and Amen. Kaitlyn T and Family. Bev and family.
