Can or should a person who claims to be a follower of Jesus Christ vote any way he chooses? Even if their party platform of choice is without question supporting policies that are defiantly anti-God or anti-Christian? Are Christians or Catholics free to divest themselves from any supposed Christian moorings when entering a voting booth but instead can cast their vote, in like manner, along with those who have no affiliation with the Savior?
What about Jewish Americans? Should they support a political party that has anti-Semitic leanings and is clearly no friend to Israel? How would the devil have you vote? Whose side are you on when you make your selections?
Satan, in the Bible, is described as “the father of lies” and a “murderer from the beginning” (John 8:44). In Revelation 12:9, he is described as a deceiver, deceiving the whole world. He can even beguile those who make a claim to the name of Christ as their Lord and Savior but vote a certain way that only furthers the enemy’s agenda. In short, he can dupe even churchgoers into voting against the cause of Christ.
Who is this Satan? How does he coerce people into actions that are contrary to being a “child of God”? Here is an excerpt from GotQuestions.org on who or what Satan is: Who/what is Satan? Who/what is the devil? | GotQuestions.org
“People’s beliefs concerning Satan range from the silly to the abstract—from a little red guy with horns who sits on your shoulder urging you to sin, to an expression used to describe the personification of evil. The Bible, however, gives us a clear portrait of who Satan is and how he affects our lives. Put simply, the Bible defines Satan as an angelic being who fell from his position in heaven due to sin and is now completely opposed to God, doing all in his power to thwart God’s purposes.
Satan was created as a holy angel. Isaiah 14:12 gives Satan’s pre-fall name as Lucifer. Ezekiel 28:12-14 describes Satan as having been created a cherub, apparently the highest created angel. He became arrogant in his beauty and status and decided he wanted to sit on a throne above that of God (Isaiah 14:13-14; Ezekiel 28:15; 1 Timothy 3:6). Satan’s pride led to his fall. Because of his sin, God permanently removed Satan from his exalted position and role.
Satan became the ruler of this world and the prince of the power of the air (John 12:31; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Ephesians 2:2). He is an accuser (Revelation 12:10), a tempter (Matthew 4:3; 1 Thessalonians 3:5), and a deceiver (Genesis 3; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Revelation 20:3). His very name means “adversary” or “one who opposes.” Another of his titles, the devil, means “slanderer.”
Even though he was cast out of heaven, he still seeks to elevate his throne above God. He counterfeits all that God does, hoping to gain the worship of the world and encourage opposition to God’s kingdom. Satan is the ultimate source behind every false cult and world religion. Satan will do anything and everything in his power to oppose God and those who follow God. However, Satan’s destiny is sealed—an eternity in the lake of fire (Revelation 20:10).”
Notice the lines again above declaring that Satan does ALL in his power to thwart God’s purposes and that Satan will do anything and everything in his power to oppose God and those who follow God.
Should Christians then align themselves with his agenda in opposing God or thwarting God’s eternal plan for the redemption of man? No, we must not. We should not act like the world but instead behave like we are following after Jesus. That must include what type of human government and policies we can support. If a certain party adopts and promotes ungodly activities, how can we be involved in that? Would God be pleased by such actions?
Christians, according to the Holy Word of God, are to be “salt and light” to a darkened world. We should not blend in and be like the rest of the world. We should be making a difference.
Matthew 5:13-16 clearly spells out our role in the present hellbent trajectory that this nation finds itself locked on to:
“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has lost its savor, then how will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:13-16).
Christians are also “called out” ones:
If Christians are the Body of Christ, and are supposed to be “salt and light” to the world, and are a “holy nation,” a “peculiar people,” and are following Jesus Christ – who took us out of darkness and into His marvelous Light – how can we possibly go into a voting booth come election time and vote like the devil? Are we doing his bidding? Did he die for us? Did he save us? Is he a more prominent figure in our lives and so we should follow him and reject Christ’s call for us?
Can we honestly support a candidate or a group of candidates or a political platform that openly supports the genocide of unborn babies; is in favor of young children being allowed to mutilate themselves into something that God did not design them to be; is all about the furtherance of homosexual rights and policies; does all it can to promote the ideology of Wokeism and its aberrant manifestations; is bent on destroying America and all the values and freedoms that God has blessed us with; is leading us down a path of ruin; and ultimately is selling out our once great nation to a group of globalists seeking to bring on the arrival of a satanically inspired world leader, who will be controlled and indwelt ultimately by Lucifer, the leader of the fallen angels?
Who else but the adversary wants us to oppose and thwart God’s plan for us and seeks to destroy everything that we are about? Who else but Lucifer would be behind the Democratic Party platform? Everything about their platform choices is satanic. Take a look at the 2020 positions:
Voter Guide Presidential Election 2020
Christian Coalition Trump/Biden
Education vouchers that allow parents to choose public or private school for Yes No
their children.
Voluntary prayer in public schools and facilities. Yes No
Prohibiting public schools from allowing boys to use girls’ bathrooms and Yes No
vice versa.
Requiring female athletes in public schools and colleges to compete against No Yes
biological male athletes.
Federal tuition tax credits for parents who home school or send their child Yes No
to a private school.
Permanent elimination of the “Death Tax.” Yes No
Make Federal tax cuts permanent. Yes No
Appointing judges who will adhere to a strict interpretation of the Constitution. Yes No
Further restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms. No Yes
Defunding law enforcement agencies at the Federal, State and local level. No Yes
Eliminate barriers to housing and employment for those who have successfully Yes No
completed their sentence.

Increase border security including additional infrastructures. Yes No
Parental notifications for abortions by minors. Yes No
Increase border security including additional infrastructures. Yes No
The US should continue to support and stand with the nation of Israel Yes No
against her enemies.
These are but a few of the stark contrasts between the Conservative Right vs. the liberal Left.
The last election cycle was between Trump and Biden. This time around, it will be Trump again versus Biden’s incompetent and Marxist VP Kamala Harris. Trump’s position on the issues has not changed, while Harris will be a more radical communist than her mentor.
She has already chosen an extreme WOKE running mate in Tim Walz, who supported putting tampon dispensers in boy’s bathrooms in the state of Minnesota. These are the kind of people who will further attempt to destroy our nation from within. The enemy must be quite pleased with these anti-Christian dupes.
It cannot be overstated that our country is in great peril. Satan wants America destroyed. Satan needs America to be rendered impotent. He is setting the world conditions to allow for the emergence of his “man of sin.” A superpower like the United States cannot be allowed to hinder, in any way, the rise of the global antichrist.
That is why a person like Trump cannot be allowed. He and his America First attitude must be stopped by any and all means available.
Trump is a thorn in the side of the globalists and their master, Lucifer.
Impeach him (twice!); raid his residence; muffle his ability to speak; drag him into court (numerous times!); vilify him as a destroyer of democracy and a Hitler figure; and even issue a stand down order for the Secret Service to not protect him at an outside rally (Come on! Really! What else could that fiasco in Butler, PA have been?)
The man has to be stopped, to their way of thinking, no matter what means it takes to accomplish that. You can bet that other attempts will be made on him to prevent him from stepping foot back into the White House.
Satan and his minions are pulling the levers of power in DC and through various government agencies. Who can trust any more the media and their lies; or the DOJ; the FBI; the CIA; the Secret Service; the CDC; “Big Pharma”; big university college administrators or their professors; or a whole slew of once trustworthy departments? Everything has been infected by the adversary.
And some supposed Christians or people who should know better are going along with it. The country is in serious trouble when some who have an inkling between what is right and wrong are just being bewitched by the lies of the devil and are being made pawns to further his goals.
The seventh commandment found in Exodus 20:13 states, “Thou shall not kill.” But there are those who have no problem obviously in casting a vote for a candidate who does all in his power to further promote and fund the genocide of unborn babies in the abortion mills of America.
Joe Biden, who thinks that he is a good Catholic, was livid when the Supreme Court voted down Roe vs. Wade. He serves a different master, not God. His master wants those created in the image of God to be destroyed, and so a compliant Biden did all in his and Kamala Harris’ power to keep those killings going. Should a Christian be a part of that support? The answer is obvious.
Don’t join forces or be affiliated with a candidate who is serving a sinister master who does ALL he can to thwart God’s purposes and who will do anything and everything in his power to oppose God and those who follow God.
The one time that you can demonstrate your allegiance and gratefulness to Christ for ALL He has done for you, but instead, you opt out. Or, worse, being a part of the problem by voting unwisely and ungodly.
Don’t go into that booth blindly. Know exactly what you are doing and what you are being a participant in.
Christians are indwelt with the Holy Spirit upon inviting Jesus Christ into their lives to save them. If you are not getting any feedback by voting a certain way and have no problem in doing so, then you may have a spiritual disconnect. You can’t walk into that booth with God living inside you and all the while holding the devil’s hand while making your selections.
Don’t vote like Satan would want you to do. Thwart his plans, not God’s. We have no business being a party to baby killings, chopping of boys’ and girls’ body parts to make them something freakish, or to be a participant in the destruction of our own country. These are all sadistic, devilish, and abhorrent activities; no true follower of Christ can be a part of that.
“Neither give place to the devil” (Ephesians 4:27).
“And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever” (Revelation 20:10).
