A Large Flock of Birds
In the United States, I see a small group of people who consider themselves to be Republicans and another small group of people who consider themselves to be Democrats.
Between these bookends, I see a large group of people who are like a flock of birds. They dislike (some hate) both of the ruling parties. After 4 or 8 years of abuse by one party, they will vote for anyone the other party stands in front of them. After 4 to 8 years of abuse by the alternate, they will vote for anyone the first party puts in front of them next.
This year, there is a runner on the track who is misaligned with both Democrats and Republicans. Fear from both parties of being dethroned is reaching a screeching pitch.
I suggest that continuing to allow the couple who has been ruling the nation (Dems and Reps) to work together to produce the continued destruction of the nation in contrast to taking on a different leader who has no allegiance to either member of the couple (or anyone else, apparently) all turns out the same way on one level. It is still leading a government that confesses that it is of the people, by the people, and for the people, not of, by, or for the King of Glory.
The Islamic State (ISIS or ISIL in politically correct cloak) attempting to rule in places where it has power has caused more Muslims to convert to Jesus than had made that decision in the previous 10 centuries. Fearing evil is an inappropriate response to it. Light overcomes darkness. The darker it gets, the brighter even the dimmest light will become.
If we are more concerned with how any event or election or battle will affect and be affected by the Kingdom of Heaven, we will perceive the correct steps to take that will find advantage in the situation.
No matter what, and no matter who, if we align ourselves with what the King wants to do next, then in the place where we stand, His Kingdom will come and His will will be done.
When we stop settling for the low level of thought and value called “our nation,” and rise up to the appropriate level of thought and value called, “His Kingdom,” we will lead and liberate people who are in a great darkness.
