Proverbs 6:16-19 (NIV) 16) There are six things the Lord hates seven that are detestable to him: 17) haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, 18 ) a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, 19) a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
@@kimparker3910 wow! That is powerful isn’t it. We are see so much of this in our world right within governments. The Lord is wise and show us so clearly in his word what we are to watch for.
@ ok so how do you explain biblically why you are supporting the candidate that is pro abortion and pro transition of children? Can you please tell us where in the bible it’s says it’s ok to kill Gods image bearers?
We should feel comfortable allowing our kids to hear our president speak without cringing. If they are spreading hate, lies, and admission to not being a Christian, then we shouldn't vote for them. I will pray for them all, everyday.
I'm in the Bible everyday. I go to church every week. I truly cannot understand voting for Trump. I've tried. Jesus would not. I know he wouldn't. Trump has no principle. He was a party liberal most his life until Republicans bought him.. I can't stand behind that.
I agree. But if you don't vote for Trump, you will a president that, even she does it with soft language and a smile, will speak to your children about abortions and transgenderism and will not respect the Christian faith. Do you want that?
Policies don’t mean a thing to me. They can change it the minute they are in the White House, or get constantly blocked for whatever reason. Character in leadership means more to me than policies. Everyone can talk a good game, but hardly anyone have the skills.
I agree with what you are saying .I am from Kenya and time after time leaders have promised to implement policies that will help us only for them to get into office and make things worse . So someones character is very important
I agree 100%. In Trump’s case, in 2016 he championed the 6 week heartbeat bill which protected fetuses over 6 weeks old from being aborted but he is now changing his stance to supporting 16 week abortions. 92% of fetuses are aborted by 16 weeks. Trump’s followers (aka worshippers) still tout him as a “pro life” leader when he is actually quite close to being as pro choice as they come. He is a snake and will continue to do whatever it takes to secure the popular vote and solidify his power even if that means changing his policies to suit popular demand and completely back tracking on his so-called “conservative” beliefs
@@davidcabrera0408This is not true. Especially in Trump’s case. Trump is over 70 years old, his personality and character has remained largely unchanged over the past 50 years and we can look at his public character track record with him consistently being narcissistic, brash, deceitful, belligerent, etc. time and time again.
I am thankful that many pastors are stepping up to the plate & TELLING CHRISTIANS THAT IT'S A MUST THAT THEY VOTE! My own Pastor Dusty Dean of Heartland Church shared the same thing on Sun., Oct. 27th. We are are having a special prayer meeting at Heartland this Wed. night to pray for this election!
Thank you so much for this! You did an amazing job communicating how Christians should think through this election. Please do not stop, regardless of negative comments you may get. ❤ Voting is a privilege God has given us in this country. It grieves me that so many Christians are forsaking this privilege.
Wow this really convicted me. As a Canadian I have been so disheartened by the Prime Minister we have had and the damage he has caused to our country. He is not an easy man to like let alone pray for. He has caused so many so much pain and suffering. Learning to pray for him is a tough pill to swallow for me. But I do understand the importance as a Christian to do so. Thank you for this.
@@kelliemiller8074 thanks you 🥰. looks like it could be a Christmas election. Lots of stuff is happening right now and the party is falling down around him. So we have hope. The Lord has a plan.
@@kelliemiller8074 oh that has been happening full force here too. But the goverment is being propped up by other leftist parties so we are trapped and unable to have an election. However that could change as quickly as next week if the cards fall the right way. I truly believe that since Covid the Lord has been bringing a lot of corruption and darkness into the light. And the Lord will continue to be on control no matter the ok comes. I pray you get Trump back in and many positive changes happen for you all.
I totally agree with you on this subject and very happy you used your "platform" to discuss this topic while highlighting the fears and questions that so many people have. Well done!
As a believer who is also a leader I want to offer another perspective. We have 2 choices in this election. Typically policies matter as the primary criteria for voting however this election has forced a different prioritization based on the 2 candidates in this race. Character and leadership skills to lead are typically not the issue because you normally have 2 candidates who possess both and the primary difference is policy. It is clear you are Trump supporters based on your comments and that is your right. I don’t have any issue with that. The challenge I have with evangelicals is that they completely dismiss and ignore character and leadership, which is a critical requirement to be President, when it comes to Donald Trump. We have a former President who literally speaks hate out of his mouth and on his social platforms, spent 4 years as President on Twitter complaining about anything and everything, calls immigrants aliens, incited a mob to riot and attack the US Capitol, this week spoke of a golfers private parts as a badge of honor, proudly stated he grabs women by the “p***, struggled to lead us through the Covid crisis, his wife has not been with him on the campaign trail this year and the list goes on. These are not 2nd hand accounts, all you have to do is listen to him speak and follow him on social media. But yet many evangelicals say, vote your values and choose someone who is most closely aligned with the Bible but “disregard”what the Bible says about Godly character??
Thank you for this comment!! No need for me to comment now. Elegantly said and so understood by so many…especially me. I just can’t ignore the character of Trump. But I can’t ignore the policies of Kamala. So I’m no voting for President. Much love Lisa and John love your content.
I understand this stance completely, I do. However, what if one candidate does what you stated above overtly and the other is more covert - yet the same in behind the scenes action? How do we proceed at that point?
John and Lisa, While I agree with your admonition to honor the leaders and respect all, I have a few observations and questions to stimulate deeper biblical thinking. I believe that the issue of character is much more important than it is presented in any go-vote message these days. When we dismiss unrepentant sexual sin, a torrent of slanderous, hateful, divisive rhetoric, lies, and dictatorial aspirations of our nation’s leader, we lose our high moral ground to criticize the moral decline of this nation. How can we judge sexual immorality of the liberal left if we excuse our leader’s adulterous behavior? Don’t we compromise the integrity of the gospel and our witness by disregarding the moral character of our representative? Pagan world is watching us and making their judgment about our faith based on our choices. Secondly, I believe that spreading hateful slanderous rhetoric and promoting animosity is as egregious as murder in God’s eyes. Is it merely a rhetorical device when Jesus says that “anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment” and anyone who says to his brother, “Raca”, is answerable to the Sanhedrin”? Is apostle John exaggerating when he says that “anyone who hates his brother is a murderer”? I find it extremely harmful that a candidate who claims to represent Christian values, uses slanderous, hateful rhetoric like no other politician. In fact, he brought our standards & expectations down so low that most of his followers think that his rhetoric is the norm in politics. MAGA has been discipling the church for so long that we don’t even mind that they use God’s name to prop up Trump’s political campaign. Thirdly. For me the holiness of God’s name is weightier than any political issue. It’s a tier one issue, if you will. Is the third commandment less important than the sixth? Am I idealistic? Yes. But so is Jesus. He did not side with the Jewish “moral” elite in the culture war of his days. He chose the way of preaching the gospel, humble service and sacrifice over the way of political power. And lastly, do you really believe in God’s sovereignty? I do and I absolutely trust that God can put the right kind of evil in the government to fulfill His purposes for this country and for the world. He is absolutely able to do it without me compromising the holiness of His name, my integrity and my witness.
Your perspective is rooted in the fashionable hate of Trump. We are not electing him to be our pastor, nor a leader in our church. We are voting for him because of his policies being closer to our principles and Christian values. You are using the verses that are supposed to be directed to our brothers and sisters in Christ. The rulers, kings and Presidents are a different subject and John and Lisa addressed that on the video. I am assuming you won't vote because for you the moral character of the person is more important.Maybe you will vote for the other candidate God bless you
100% the sad truth is that there just isn’t any godly candidate this time around. Both candidates struggle with basic moral truths. Sitting this election out & letting America reap the fruit of her wickedness is probably what’s best for us Christians to do. Should we continue to fight for our values? Yes. But the Republican candidate is simply not worthy of Christian votes. He can be bought. He has turned his back on the unborn. We have a chance four years from now. But we have to let this man go.
@@saramartinez103 On the contrary, I feel like a lone voice in the dessert crying out against my fellow believers defending Trump as the champion for Christian values. I have not drawn my conclusions about his moral character from the media. I listen to his own words and read his “truths” and tweets. “For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks”. Listen to his words about immigrants, his opponents, his former staff members/advisors who have disagreed with him on his election claims, about Putin, Xi Jinping, & other dictators, about how a celebrity can treat women like objects and get away with it, read his Christmas and Easter posts, think about how he has changed his platform from decidedly pro-life to pro-reproductive rights, how he does not shy away from messianic comparisons. Think about how his rhetoric has influenced the church and what it has done to our gospel witness. For the first time in the history of the conservative movement, its leaders have come up with the “policy over personality“ propaganda point to distract us from one of the most important principles in electing a leader. You should think and pray about it and if you still believe he is a lesser evil and worth compromising your integrity for, definitely go and vote out of that conviction. But please don’t make it out to be a fight between good and evil, don’t coerce other believers to vote for policies if they have other convictions, and be prepared to repent and oppose Trump if he turns on us after he gets elected.
@@stasiadarling8159 can you please give us an analysis on Kamala, in the same way you do Trump's and tell us what Christians should do then. Because if we follow your points we must abstain from voting and let the wicked triumph
@@saramartinez103 Please, know that I am not advocating for the democratic ticket. This audience rightly understands that their abortion and LGBTQ position are clearly unbiblical and harmful. Bringing this up is preaching to the choir. What I am pushing against is the assumption that this is a fight between good and evil. If you really think through the points I brought up in my comments, you will see past partisan blind spots. Praying for humility for us all.
The Bible clearly condemns us for speaking out against people we don’t like for the same faults and or conditions of the heart that we overlook in those we do like. The Word of God explicitly tells those who are called Christ-ians in 2 Chronicle 7:14, “ "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and I will heal their land.” Our country is at a precipice of imploding because Christians are not following God’s lead and giving others the right of free will. Instead of us allowing others to make their own choices, we exert our will on others just like the enemy of our souls does. There are blessings that come with freely obeying God. Let’s stop talking about it and be about it. Pray that God’s will be done. Amen!
Platform is important when you have a leader who does not try to solve everything alone and listens to those around him/her who tries to enforce platform! Platform means nothing when the leader is prideful , stubborn, and forces his or her own way regardless of what those around him/her strongly encourages! Praying for all leaders whether I agree with them or not! GOD is totally in control! You both are wonderful teachers by the way! Love you both!
John & Lisa - thank you for being God-Carriers. It is a tremendous responsibility to know that the world experiences God because of your words. I have watched several of your video’s, and I admire your courage to speak out, and your faithfulness towards our Lord and Savior. It appears from this video that you supported the Trump policies from a Christian viewpoint. For years I have struggled with Donald Trumps character. Bottom line, I could never consider that he or his policies hold the best example of Christian values. Your advice of taking the 10 commandments and comparing them with policy seemed to bypass the greater commandment of “love thy neighbor”. Your example hi-lighted the commandment of “you shall not murder” relating to abortion only. How many people have been murdered because of hate towards another’s race or sexual orientation? Is one murder more acceptable than another in God’s eyes? There has actually been an increase in abortion rates since the overturn of Roe vs Wade. What might this tell us Christians - could it be that this issue is best confronted at the grassroots level and not at the government level? So much of the New Testament is against the Pharisees and their laws - could there be a lesson to be learned here? Can we honestly say that Trumps hateful rhetoric, fear mongering, and threat of mass deportation is how Jesus would handle this situation? Every country experienced an economic downturn created by the pandemic. Most leaders believed that lockdowns were the best choice in saving lives. As a Christian we should be at peace knowing the hardships we are enduring are a trade-off for those lives saved. Today, under Bidens administration, the US economy numbers are very strong. Shame on Trump for lying about this. I fact-checked Trump on most of his statements and found he lied, a lot. The public deserves to hear truth. When I analyzed Trump (and trust me, I researched both candidates in great detail) he seems to exemplify at least five of the seven deadly sins (pride, greed, wrath, envy, and lust). When analyzing Harris I saw joy, patience, kindness, and self control. Yes, she negated Trump by giving warning to the American public on being unfit, unhinged and a fascist. Most of these comments were initiated by many people who knew him best. Harris did not demean anyone else in her speeches. On the other hand, Trumps degradation towards her and a multitude of other people was unbridled and rampant.
For me, the telltale decision on who possessed more Christian values was demonstrated at his MSG rally and her Ellipse rally. No matter how open-minded I tried to be, I absolutely cannot view Trump as a president type simply by the way he conducts himself. I believe, for some, his constant “without me the country is doomed” left people feeling vulnerable and fearful to a point where non-Christians see him as their “Saviour” and the far more radical Christians see him as the fulfillment of prophecy. I don’t think he should be considered as either. Myself, I will believe that God continues to accomplish His will. He is sovereign. He is ultimately responsible for setting leaders in place (often for reasons and purposes we do not understand). Yes, I am to obey the governing authorities (Rom 13:1) and to pray for them that God sees to it that they allow us freedom of worship (1 Tim 2:1-4), but, I will not presume to know the plan of God. As a Christian I will not support Trumps revolution and seek to overthrow the government as liberation theology is contrary to God’s Word. I will however pray to God to be with our leaders who have put their own desires and delusions first, those that have put their ego in the place of God. We may not always understand why things happen the way they do, but we can trust that God will always be with us.
Hey John and Lisa, I honor you both and I’ve always believed that your teachings are anointed. I know that sometimes , there’s a gray area on the scripture you quoted about God putting people in place of authority and approving them, not necessarily appointing them. I totally agree with what Lisa said.I know that God is never surprised of any leader that’s being placed in power. We also know that God will not interfere with the choices of men just like when Israel needed a king , they ended up with a Saul. Although we know that Saul did not start out to be evil, but he eventually did . We can all agree that it is also the People’s choice of who they vote for. unfortunately not too many seek the Holy Spirit and ask who to vote for. He knows all things and he is the best person to ask who the rightful person is. He is the spirit of truth and and when he gives us the truth, it will set us free. That’s what happened to me in 2016. I had a specific person in mind to vote for but on my way to the voting polls, The Holy Spirit specifically told me that the person I had in mind was not God’s choice and he told me who I needed to vote for so I did and he won .
Decided to leave my comment here, cause that's the last video you have here for now. Hope you're gonna see it. Just wanted you to know that I'm watching you from Ukraine, and I'm so inspired by what you both are doing :) Here is a little testimony for you :) September 19th I was watching your podcast with Allie Schnacky on the JWLKRS channel and heard about the book you had released "Fight for Female". I found it on the Amazon website and was like, okay one day I'll be able to get it somehow. Cause obviously we don't have the book here in Ukraine in our bookstores. But two days ago my friend texted me, she's from Portland, Washington, and she asked me whether I need something cause she was gonna send a package to Ukraine and she could put something for me as well. And I did ask her about the book, and she said that she's gonna send it here. Praise God 🙌 I would love to say that Holy Spirit uses you both for his glory, that's so powerful. Hope that my future husband and I are gonna be like you😊
I believe in a country like ours where we have a democratic process, policy alone should not be the driving force in choosing a candidate. Paul and the early Christians did not have that luxury. Integrity of a candidate matters. Sadly, the moral decline has been so drastic that we now have to overlook integrity for policy.
Agree 100%, these so-called Christians are blind and are willing to willfully ignore a candidate’s long-standing character track record all in the name of choosing the “lesser of two evils”.
hello, i’m sorry , this is going to be long. please pray for me. i feel under attack and im scared. i feel far from God. and i’m struggling with believing the lies of the enemy, about myself, about God and His word. i sometimes open up the word and have so much shame and fear of God and punishment that i end up hearing His word as if everything was aimed at me. i understand that His word convicts and i need conviction.. (well i know i have a ton to work on, i feel like a mess). but it leaves me feeling helpless and condemned. this happens when i listen to some sermons and podcasts too. it’s gotten better but fluctuated. i believe it scrupulosity & religious Ocd. thankfully i have one or two people in the church i can reach out to (they’re not close friends but lovely people) because this feels so isolating. and honestly frightening and overwhelming. i’m struggling to discern what is truly guidance from the Holy Spirit because i’ve been hearing a lot of different things (having so many thoughts). many that accuse. many that make me feel abandoned and without help. many that make me feel incredibly bad about myself. im struggling. and this is hard. please keep me in your prayers. this is affecting the way i see God and i don’t want it to. not because of the way it makes me feel but because i start to believe that maybe those thoughts are from Him… simply because i know how imperfect i am, i know i need His grace. truly, i do.i start thinking that maybe im just trying to deceive myself if i don’t believe those thoughts. i want to love Him and love His word. but i need help and support. thank you so much. 🤍😭🙏
Lisa, your words in your books have been life-changing to me. Although I appreciate in part you both addressing this hard topic,it is clear who you are promoting for this presidency. When John tried to stick to scripture, Lisa you stepped in a couple of times to paraphrase and it was obvious to which candidate you were referring to. I wish this part would have been left out as it shows that there is a bit of entitlement in your delivery. Jesus was clear about which commandments were the most important why not reference that? I do appreciate hearing you pray for current president and commenting on the believers who believe joking, criticizing and making fun of candidates is not what God called us to.
They clearly support Trump. They also support the non-Biblical position that we as Christians are somehow commanded or obligated to vote which is not supported by an single verse in the Bible.
This conversation encourages me because it reminds me Jesus' reign has already begun. The Bevere's gracefully modeled humanity, kindness and self-control and contended for the united approach God describes through Paul in Philippians 2:1-5. It also encourages all believers in Jesus to vote rather than compartmentalizing our stewardship and sitting out on election day. This video concerns me because it implies that voting for one candidate is more Christ-like or biblical than voting for another as if one candidate is obviously more or less godly than their opponent. This is a dangerous and errant argument and divides the body of Christ- intentionally or unintentionally. Paul Bevere said "most of the time, you're not gonna like the two candidates. What you have to do is pick the one that most stands with biblical values." Then Lisa Bevere added, "don't vote personality, vote principal," which implies there is a surefire measurement for all Christians to identify which candidate's principals and policies are in line with the Word of God, and their character is not important, or at least not as important. This is not what the Bible teaches, though. In reality, both candidates claim to believe in Jesus. Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have both spoken with/ before churches and crowds of Christ followers, more and more frequently in the last 30 days. In the past, Donald Trump has said he cannot recall ever asking God for forgiveness and Kamala Harris has said she supports women choosing to abort their children. In a speech earlier this year, Donald Trump stated that we are all accountable to our Creator, who is God, and in recent interviews and a CNN town hall Kamala Harris stated she prays with her pastor and begins her day with prayer. Donald Trump joked about grabbing a woman by her genitalia, was found liable for sexual assault, mocked a disabled reporter, and referred to Africa as a continent of "sh*it hole countries," among other statements that violate God's commands. Kamala Harris has lied and exaggerated claims to persuade voters and disrespected Donald Trump when he was the sitting president. This is what politicians do! So how can we definitively argue one candidate is more godly than another? Both candidates have policies and principles that affirm and oppose the Word of God, and, no, it is not enough to simply examine a handful of talking points or initiatives posted on their website because Jesus teaches us to examine character. Jesus teaches us to examine fruit. He says a good tree cannot produce bad fruit and bad tree cannot produce good fruit. He says it is our LOVE for one another that will demonstrate we are His disciples, not our partisanship. When you read God's Word and spend time with Him in prayer, do you really see His heart reflected in Donald Trump? Do you really see His heart reflected in Kamala Harris? Character should be an ESSENTIAL consideration for Christian voters. What about the company they keep? Not the people who endorse them, but the people they consider to be friends, mentors, or role models, the people they admire- this should matter. Two devout Christ followers can come to different conclusions on who is the better candidate and vote in good faith!!! Now, the comments and stories the Bevere's shared in this conversation suggest that they're conservative thinkers who likely vote Republican, and there is absolutely nothing in scripture that suggests voting Republican is wrong. My point is there is nothing in scripture that suggests voting Democrat is wrong either. This is not a single-issue election. The goal of political parties is to win elections, not to win souls for Jesus. Both parties profess to promote peace, order, and prosperity. The party Christians choose to support is a matter of preference. The strongest argument I hear for all Christians voting the same way is abortion. As Bible-believing followers of Jesus, we know to abort a pregnancy is to kill a child created in the image of God. To justify abortion by referring to a fetus as an "it," simply a clump of cells and not human being, is to de-humanize the image of God. Still, neither candidate supports outlawing abortion. Regarding the states with the most restrictions, Donald Trump said this month in a town hall on FOX News to an all-female audience that many of these rulings "are gonna be redone," to mitigate some of these restrictions. Donald Trump and JD Vance have both reiterated they do not support a national abortion ban, and the Republican party removed the pro-life issue from its platform at their convention this year. They did not mention it once probably because they know it could cost them votes. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris plans to reinstate Roe v. Wade, ensuring abortion is legal with the restrictions stated in Roe v. Wade and no additional restrcitions. Abortion is not the only issue on the ballot with an explicit stance from God's Word, though. What about immigration? I'm not referring to border security or our obviously disfunctional citizenship process, but the way we refer to immigrants. At 21:47, Lisa Bevere refers to undocumented immigrants who enter the country illegally as "aliens." Intentional or unintentional, that is de-humanizing image-bearers of God!!! Donald Trump's campaign invited a comedian to speak at his New York rally, and he called Puerto Rico a floating island of trash!! Does this not matter? Both candidates support strong border security and increased aid both through finances and personnel to the southern border. It's fascinating that the only undocumented immigrants we discuss are those from Mexico and Central American, not Europe. I digress... What about the economy? Should all Christians agree on whose policies are better for their present and future? What about foreign policy? Considering the humanitarian crises in Gaza and Ukraine and Russia, should all Christians agree on whose policies will more effectively bring peace? The answer is no. We already have a prince of peace. He is Jesus- Yahweh Shalom. God can and will use either candidate for His glory. Christians can disagree on whom they prefer. It's not our vote on November 5th that's biblical, it's our love for one another on November 6th and beyond.
I am a follower of Jesus Christ and it saddens me that every time I hear pastors talk about the election and say “vote the Bible” they then proceed to only speak about abortion and lgbtq+. There are so many other issues facing us and the liberties of certain Americans at stake that, unfortunately do not look like you all. And yet somehow, these two issues are your whole focus (oh I dare not forget to mention all the dangerous illegal aliens coming in to harm us). I don’t hear any pastor who constantly harp on these two main issues bringing up gun safety when countless children have been taken due to this epidemic, and not by the hands of “illegal aliens”. As followers of Jesus Christ we, of course, follow God’s leading in all we do. And God also gives us common sense. It’s clear who you’re saying not to vote for and who to vote for. Regardless of who makes it in office I can agree with you on one thing, as followers of Jesus we must pray! Pray for our nation, our leaders, those who fight for our country, our children’s safety, our environment, our families… we must pray. And we must not allow the spirit of division to infiltrate our hearts. God bless.
Good post.... "voting the bible" is not possible. Neither party is Christ-centered and I don't need them to be. We all have things we are concerned about, so pray and vote accordingly.
PREEEAAAAACH PREACH PREACH!!!!! UUhh Goodness!!! SAY IT LOUD FOR THE CHRISTIANS IN THE BACK! Its like abortion and lgbtq+ are the "CAPITAL SINS OF THE UNIVERSE"... anything else, its "aaaah thats not that bad, just pray for him. We are all not perfect" WHAT???
Amen! How a Christian can support Trump is crazy to me! There are lots of Republicans voting for Kamala. Maga party is not the normal Republican party. Trump is anything but decent. I pray for his salvation and his family. They are all walking with the enemy!
I am Canadian, living in Niagara Falls and go to an American University, so I feel the heaviness that this vote brings. I hate to admit that "what could happen" is worrying me way more than it should. But I completely agree that abortion and LGBTQ+ are not the only issues that should sway a Christian's vote. I just don't understand how Christians are expected (by so many other Christians) to vote for a leader who is a criminal, womanizer and someone who shows blatant disrespect to most other humans. I am so glad that I don't have to vote. I am praying for you, America! xo
Please do a video on Halloween. I believe I should have never celebrated this when my children who are grown Adults now. The Holy Spirit has convicted me that this is a Demonic holiday.
What if Christians prayed about whether to vote or not and the Holy Spirit discouraged it. Then they would be violating their conscience if they vote not so?
Yes, the Holy Spirit can tell us not to vote. There is NO command in the Bible telling Christians to vote at all. Matter of fact, a constitutional republic (the government we have in the USA) did not even exist in the time of Christ so there is no specific provision in the Bible for a voting system administered under a two party system.
@@ChristineTXWhere in the Bible are we commanded to vote for a man who is hateful, prideful, narcissistic, deceitful, slanderous, murderous, sexually unfaithful and devious, greedy, covetous, etc.? Where in the Bible are we commanded to vote for anyone who embodies traits which God DETESTS?
The problem is christian leaders dancing around the truth. While Trump is not perfect and I don't stand behind everything he has said, the choice is very clear. If you care at all about the safety of Americans and a secure border, VOTE TRUMP. If you care at all about the unborn and protecting their lives, VOTE TRUMP. As a christian, there is absolutely no justification to vote Harris/Walz. They are radically pro-abortion and it is unacceptable. Pastors need to stop being afraid to speak the truth about this. Lives are at stake.
Trump is pro life? 😂 Did you know Trump, in 2016, championed the 6 week heartbeat bill which protected fetuses from being aborted after 6 weeks but he is now, all of a sudden, claiming that 6 weeks is not enough and he now instead is advocating for abortions up to 16 weeks (a point at which 92% of abortions are administered). He is an opportunist who does not truly care about the lives of the unprotected and will shift his stance to align more closely with the changing moral climate in order to secure the popular vote (as he has now done with his stance on abortion). How can you as a Christian call it the “truth” to vote for a man whose character embodies everything that Christ and the full counsel of Scripture stand against? … A man whose character is rotten and has been for over 60 years ….a man who is a criminal and a felon, a man who incited an insurrection, a man who confessed to grabbing women by their genatalia, a man who called Africa a “bunch of s--hole nations”??? Really? Voting for this guy is the “truth”???
GOD choses leaders in every country good or bad. Take King David for example the adulterate murderer of his good and loyal General. Trump is a saint compared to King David. Like Dementia Joe said if you don't vote for him "you ain't black" but same thing goes if you vote for Baby Butcherer Harris you're not a Christian.
Policies it’s Matters / Trump gonna bring US better for everyone including those that had not bite for him . Please 🙏 just Unifying and American gonna be good again 😊
I’m so not understanding why this is being said. You made a big point about abortion but what about the races comments and the division of our nation don’t you think when people do abortions it’s on them.
None of them do because they are both wicked sinners who occasionally honor God with their lips but also both have hearts which are far from Him (as evidenced by both of their actions)
What i hear you say, that where ever we are in the world, who ever rules as a government, first and foremost i have to grow in the healthy fear of the Lord and love and care about people in my local community. Even if political correctness is ungodly i don't have to be.
So vote for the convicted sexual predator, the liar, the cheater, the one who has no morals or character? The divider and chief, the one who is only running for office just to stay out of jail? The one who has never served anyone but himself a day in his life? The one who called people stupid and bad and everything else? I would not want my 5 yr old listening to this unserious character who is beneath the office. The same man who said he never asked God for forgiveness because he hasn’t done anything wrong!! Can God use him? Yes, we all know God can use anyone. But i cannot in good conscience vote for this man. I’m a christian and don’t see anything Donald Trump does that lines up with christian values. Maybe God is using Kamala, i mean he can use anyone right??? Neither one of them are perfect, but i’m voting for the one that acts like the adult in the room!!! The one that doesn’t send out hateful tweets @2am. I’m tired of all the division this man has unleashed on our country. This man is FULL of pride let me add..How is the Godly? and what policies ? he now believes in abortion!! My vote is between me and God. I say this with ALL due respect!
Yeah vote for the one that withheld evidence from a man that was in death row, kept prisoners past their sentences to use them as free labor (slave labor), vote for the one that for a whole year lied saying she went to the border but didn't, vote for the one that believes in human sacrifice (abortion), Trump's calls out the politicians while the Dems call out his supporters calling them "deplorables", "semi-facist", and "racist". Sounds really divisive. That sounds like a two face person to me. When I hear Christians say they're looking for the character or image of a leader.... They're looking for an idol commiting the sin of idolatry.
Wow, I guess you have done your homework on Kamala’s past. You’re IN BLIND FAITH supporting someone who is inept and corrupt to the core. You’ve been bamboozled.
Why are these Breveres ignoring the fact that the candidate they are choosing said Florida’s 6-wk abortion ban is too short? He is Not anti-abortion, so that issue does not differentiate the candidates, and he mocks his Christian followers behind closed doors. It is the character of Jesus Christ that makes our Lord and Savior, so to ignore character seems blasphemous-one candidate conducts themselves in a more Christ-like behavior, so she gets my vote.
I think that’s a VERY naive and short sighted perspective. There is a lot more at stake than this. Kamala Harris is a puppet (remember she was installed and not voted in) of a deep state machinery that desires to rip apart the fabric of society ie: the family unit, freedom of religion, freedom of speech- they are censoring free speech as we speak. There is alot more to it and I pray you will have your eyes opened.
The way God appoints the next leader is by placing on each individual's heart who to vote for. Some believers are basing their decision on being "pro-life" and anti-lgbtq and other believers are basing their decision on helping the poor & less fortunate and anti-racism, anti-theft, anti-murder, anti-greed, etc. so then the bottom line is that both parties have dual satanic/biblical platforms. God's instruction to me is to vote how He tells me to; not based on what any other believer is saying. For some, God is directing them to vote Harris and for others, He's directing them to vote Trump.
Black people in this country know how to vote, whether non-black people agree or understand. Stop assuming that how you think is beyond our consideration.
Don’t let politicians create fear based on race. All they do is keep people down and divide people based on race and gender, and use black people to push radical policies :(
With murder, it’s not just about the pro-life/pro-choice, it’s also to what behavior the candidate ignites in his/her people. Are we inciting violence against others which will lead to murder/violence? It’s all the same blood is still on your hands. 🙏🏾
Yup Jesus says “whoever is angry at his brother without cause is a murderer” These “evangelical Christians” (who do not fully represent all Christians) conveniently ignore that Trump is a hateful, viscous man who incites hatred and vindictiveness. In the words of Christ, He is a MURDERER. These so-called Christians are willing to turn a blind eye to his blatantly wicked evil character all in the name of choosing “the lesser of two evils”
Mr Trump did not incite a riot. The propaganda media that represents both corrupt sides of the aisle has brainwashed so many people to be against Trump. We must realize the Bush, Obama, and Biden administration want our God given rights stripped from us as china has, has Russia had, as Mussolini Italy had and other socialist regimes did. We as followers of Christ will always be ok but we are called to care for the non Christians as well. A vote for VP Harris who I pray God’s blessings and favor on often will usher in a socialist society.
I have grown to really love Donald, Melania and Barron as I pray daily for them. I have difficulty praying for Biden and Kamala but do, I will try to be more faithful.
How? He lies about everything. Caused an insurrection. Cut taxes for the wealthy. Doesn't pay people. He has horrible character. What news are you watching? ( serious question)
How is it hard for you to pray for somebody that shows love and kindness towards other but it's easy for you to pray for somebody that's Bill hate blasphemy in adultery and shows greed and one nothing about power and grips of religion literally shows racism it's easy for you to pray for that person but not the other person or people that show compassion for others
Very insightful-I actually loved so much of this! While we are embracing love for one another, let’s avoid using hateful rhetoric that dehumanizes people. Instead, let’s use biblical language and refer to individuals as… well, people, not “illegal aliens.” That term is extremely demeaning and rude. I see your good intentions, and within that, there’s room for growth. Just because certain phrases are common in our culture doesn’t make them right. The Bible offers numerous ways to refer to immigrants, such as “strangers,” “sojourners,” or “foreigners.” You could also simply say “immigrants” or “undocumented.” It may seem like a small thing, but these types of coded words have historically been used to dehumanize and oppress marginalized groups, making it easier to justify hateful treatment. Thanks for considering this.
So you voted for abortion up to birth , homosexual marriage , gender bending mutilation of kids , no freedom of speech , open borders with the influx of millions nobody knows who the are among them are criminals and murderers that already killed a great # of Americans , high continuous inflation ,high gas prices and high energy in general . How can a so called righteous Christian vote for a Marxist like K.Harris . No one encouraged you to vote K. Harris , its just your terrible choice .
It is a duty to vote, not just a privilege. The preamble says WE the People. The constitution was based on the Bible with more than 1500 references to the Bible. Christians should take the Biblical Citizenship class offered by Patriot Academy. It is a free class but is more interesting if you take as a group. We as Americans need to understand where our constitution came from and learn what is in the constitution and where our bill of rights come from.
Thank you, John and Lisa Bevere for standing up and speaking the truth. As the Lord laid on my heart I believe anyone who votes for Kamala Harris is coming in agreement with the shedding of innocent blood and the new community we see that cannot describe what a woman is yet they want female rights. I believe God is gonna hold them responsible for aligning with these things. There are issues with both candidates however we are not choosing a Pastor we are looking at the best that comes in alignment with the standard of the word, Most importantly no one can save this nation not Donald Trump nor Kamala Harris the Church needs to rise up pray and repent and seek God's face. 2 Chronicles 7:14..
Here’s a fact: Donald Trump is not truly pro-life at all. In 2016 he championed the 6 week heart beat bill which protected all fetuses from abortion after 6 weeks. Now, in 2024, he said that 6 weeks is to low and is now advocating for abortions up to 16 weeks which at this point, accounts for 92% of abortions. He is pro-life in name only. Also, beyond this, his character is truly wicked according to every Biblical measure and we as Christians are not called to “vote on the lesser of two evils”. We can choose to abstain from voting and choose instead to pray that our elected official truly repents and turns from their wicked ways. God will also hold all Christians who vote for Trump responsible.
I liked your POINT OF VIEW however if one candidate is against biblical principles and the other doesn’t know God then we go by character. I heard a pastor say if we vote for someone who is FOR BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES meaning they are against gay rights they are against abortions …A SINNER will ALWAYS find a WAY to do whatever they feel. We are to pray FOR EVERYONE. Our leaders ,those who hurt us despitefully use us ,Harm us and so on and so forth❤ I also heard someone from my church say 2016 election (person of choice by the people) who won was because of God… this person said the reason being it brought people to God. There are many stories in the Bible that God chose certain people (who may not have been a preference of choice by flesh) but God has A PURPOSE then n now. The president has a leader and HIS NAME JESUS HES THE KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORDS HE IS ABBA FATHER❤ BOW DOWN AND WORSHIP JESUS ❤ SOON EVERY KNEE WILL BOW AND EVERY TONGUE WILL CONFESS THAT JESUS IS LORD❤
How do you define “align with God”? Those that “love they neighbor”? My God tells me to love others and the least among us…and the Judging is for Him to do, not me.
This is a serious question, what happens when the rulers become a terror to the people? Because I feel we are dangerously close to that line. How do we pray specifically for them and can we point out the obvious about them? It's hard to hate what God hates and then feel a deep love for any person that celebrates killing babies and is deliberately destroying our nation. I know I need to pray for them but it's like chewing a pickle while praying. I'm also human and so grieved for the future of my kids and future generations that the America we once loved is slowly (actually very quickly) slipping away.
Any athlete knows you have to play the game. Face the opponent on the playing field. Do your role. Overcome lost points, failed attempts, biased referees, unethical players. If you sit on the bench you don’t win. Believe me the evil one could not care less about your supposed moral high ground while you sit in inaction he will take more territory. Jesus was very political. He faced the Sanhedrin, Pharisees, Romans, pagans, ate with the sinners. You must engage. Change comes through actions. Thought prayers and attitudes matter But actions = change.
There is NO WAY I'm voting for Trump!!!!!! Your podcast is so twisted!!! Reminds me how slavery was justified in America by using cherry picked Biblical scriptures. So disappointed by you two!
The current Democrat party is extremely anti-God. Trump’s personality is awful, but the impact of who is president is so much more than one personality.
Thank you John and Lisa you guys are a blessing to the Christian community. You helped me with this election because I was one that wasn't going to vote because I didn't agree with either one of them.
I respect you noth but I want to add to what yiu did not say. Murder is not only limited to children in mothers womb. Murder includes murdering people who are alive. If someone fears God, they cannot be hateful, discrimination, and violent. From the 2 candidates, who is really God-fearing and respectful. I think the female candidate seems to be more God-fearing and respectful. Jesus summed up the whole commandment into 2. Love God and love your neighbor. So, which platform is proving move loving? It's strange that we talk about biblical values but it seems hate, violence, division, pride, rude racism, oppression killing of black people are biblical values. It is strange how some Christians think that biblical values are only abortion and same sex marriage. But somehow killing of innocent people is not Murder. Strange how killing of unborn babies is murder but once the babies are born, when they are shot and killed it is not Murder. You can be pro-abortion and not prolife. If life is important, why is no one mentioning murdering of people in church, In movie theaters at school. Show me where the Bible says hate, violence, division, pride, and oppression is a Godly principle. Infact when I look at both parties, one party has only 2 biblical principles and it is abortion, and same set marriage. The other party has loving your neighbors, kind to strangers or foreigners who are among you, helping the poor and oppressed, providing resources like healthcare to preserve life, taking care of the elderly, renouncing the Murder of minorities or people who have no voice, respecting other people. When I look at both, I see that the other side has more biblical principles than the one that has just 2. On the last note, both parties support Murder. One supports the Murder of blacks and minorities, killings through unfounded wars and school shootingz, shootings in places of warship while the other supports killing of unborn children. So if you take out that part bc both are guilty, then one party has only one biblical principle and that is same saex marriage while the other party has numerous values as listed above
Matthew 6:24-26, Amplified Bible (AMP), “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon [money, possessions, fame, status, or whatever is valued more than the Lord]. Dear All, This worship of money over what is right and just ... is why Trump won. We have accepted the Mark of the Beast at the Ballot Box. God help us all. -Willofgodwhosoever
American churches mixing in politics has always baffled me…. And this sideways “vote for trump” propaganda is hilarious for anyone watching from outside of America and makes you realise how biased the American vote is!!
Relax brothers and sisters Trump was prophesy to be the leader from a far nation across the heavens 2800 years ago. The iconic photo was described perfectly in Isa. 13:2 pumping his fist shouting fight fight fight with the banner flying behind him in the back ground. Isa. 13:2 "Lift up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice onto them, shake the hand; that they may go into the gates of the nobles".
Yup agreed. Personal and character apparently doesn’t matter to these so-called “Christians” any more. Before Trump got into office in 2016, 2/3 of evangelicals were polled as saying that “personal integrity matters in a politician” and after 2016, the statistics flipped completely with evangelicals saying the EXACT OPPOSITE. These people are hypocrites who turn a blind eye to Trump’s wickedness all in the name of a false and idolatrous devotion to their nation and traditions (most of which aren’t even Biblical)

Voting blue will cause more than half of the USA to feel blue. Like this video clearly stated, we are voting for policy not personality. I ask you do think for yourself and do your homework. Dig into an unbiased investigation on Kamala. She basically slept her way to her political career AND THAT’S A FACT.
Respectfully, undocumented immigrants pay around 96.7 billion in federal, state, and local taxes. That last part and language around it exactly what sows division among us. This makes me question how you feel about immigrants at large and those seeking refuge. This saddens me, because I love your content. But this made it very clear who you’re voting for and takes away from the larger point you’re trying to make.
All welcome and greetings to you, my dear brothers Allah Almighty said: (And they ask you about orphans. Say, "Improvement for them is best. But if you mix with them [your brothers]").

Though a have little else to offer, I pray for you, for your family, and for all the suffering people of Palestine. May God grant you peace, food to eat, a house to live in, and health for you and your dear child. Jesus said, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. " May you find comfort. God promises, throughout the Bible, to bring justice when the powerful oppress those in need. I pray (and vote) for leaders who will not oppress and kill the Palestinian people in my country, in Israel, as well as in Palestine. May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord's countenance shine upon you. May the Lord turn his face toward you and grant you peace. Assalaam'alaikum
Proverbs 6:16-19 (NIV)
16) There are six things the Lord hates seven that are detestable to him:
17) haughty eyes,
a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
18 ) a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil, 19) a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
Exactly both parties are faulty in this regard
@@kimparker3910 wow! That is powerful isn’t it. We are see so much of this in our world right within governments. The Lord is wise and show us so clearly in his word what we are to watch for.
Haughty eyes means proud look. Trump is guilty of this. That's why I voted for Harris.
@ ok so how do you explain biblically why you are supporting the candidate that is pro abortion and pro transition of children? Can you please tell us where in the bible it’s says it’s ok to kill Gods image bearers?
@@charliewatts6007 Yes! It really saddens me to see so many Christians support Trump. It's crazy!!
Thank you for the correction. I've repented for not praying FOR our leaders. This opened my eyes.
Thank you for speaking about this! I cannot believe all the hate you guys get. So glad you two are unoffendable. Keep obeying and sharing truth!
I have a sincere question….how does this square with how the policies treat the poor, widow, orphanless, oppressed, etc
We should feel comfortable allowing our kids to hear our president speak without cringing. If they are spreading hate, lies, and admission to not being a Christian, then we shouldn't vote for them. I will pray for them all, everyday.
I'm in the Bible everyday. I go to church every week. I truly cannot understand voting for Trump. I've tried. Jesus would not. I know he wouldn't. Trump has no principle. He was a party liberal most his life until Republicans bought him.. I can't stand behind that.
Yes, Trump is no leader. He has no integrity, morals , values, character. I can't believe Christians support him. Its crazy
Amen! 💙💙💙💙💙
I agree. But if you don't vote for Trump, you will a president that, even she does it with soft language and a smile, will speak to your children about abortions and transgenderism and will not respect the Christian faith. Do you want that?
Policies don’t mean a thing to me. They can change it the minute they are in the White House, or get constantly blocked for whatever reason. Character in leadership means more to me than policies. Everyone can talk a good game, but hardly anyone have the skills.
Agree…and it’s sad that people are labeling it as “emotion”
I agree with what you are saying .I am from Kenya and time after time leaders have promised to implement policies that will help us only for them to get into office and make things worse . So someones character is very important
Emotions and character can change even quicker though.
I agree 100%.
In Trump’s case, in 2016 he championed the 6 week heartbeat bill which protected fetuses over 6 weeks old from being aborted but he is now changing his stance to supporting 16 week abortions.
92% of fetuses are aborted by 16 weeks.
Trump’s followers (aka worshippers) still tout him as a “pro life” leader when he is actually quite close to being as pro choice as they come. He is a snake and will continue to do whatever it takes to secure the popular vote and solidify his power even if that means changing his policies to suit popular demand and completely back tracking on his so-called “conservative” beliefs
@@davidcabrera0408This is not true. Especially in Trump’s case. Trump is over 70 years old, his personality and character has remained largely unchanged over the past 50 years and we can look at his public character track record with him consistently being narcissistic, brash, deceitful, belligerent, etc. time and time again.
We can find good and fault on both sides scripturally … I have peace with how I have already cast my ballot…praying for all leaders 🙏🏾
Not knowing how you voted.I respect that
But Kamela is not a leader from YHWH running on the right to butcher our offspring.

I am thankful that many pastors are stepping up to the plate & TELLING CHRISTIANS THAT IT'S A MUST THAT THEY VOTE! My own Pastor Dusty Dean of Heartland Church shared the same thing on Sun., Oct. 27th. We are are having a special prayer meeting at Heartland this Wed. night to pray for this election!
Where in the Bible are Christians COMMANDED to vote? Please tell me the chapter and verse.
They are like Pharisees make up their own teachings and saying it is of God.
Thank you so much for this! You did an amazing job communicating how Christians should think through this election.
Please do not stop, regardless of negative comments you may get. ❤ Voting is a privilege God has given us in this country. It grieves me that so many Christians are forsaking this privilege.
Thank you both for getting this message out to Christians.. amen!
Wow this really convicted me. As a Canadian I have been so disheartened by the Prime Minister we have had and the damage he has caused to our country. He is not an easy man to like let alone pray for. He has caused so many so much pain and suffering. Learning to pray for him is a tough pill to swallow for me. But I do understand the importance as a Christian to do so. Thank you for this.
Praying for you! I hope you all are able to vote him out soon

And the Lord will continue to be on control no matter the ok comes. I pray you get Trump back in and many positive changes happen for you all.
Your prim minster is a jackass and should be criminally prosecuted. Your people deserve better.
I totally agree with you on this subject and very happy you used your "platform" to discuss this topic while highlighting the fears and questions that so many people have. Well done!
As a believer who is also a leader I want to offer another perspective.
We have 2 choices in this election.
Typically policies matter as the primary criteria for voting however this election has forced a different prioritization based on the 2 candidates in this race.
Character and leadership skills to lead are typically not the issue because you normally have 2 candidates who possess both and the primary difference is policy.
It is clear you are Trump supporters based on your comments and that is your right. I don’t have any issue with that.
The challenge I have with evangelicals is that they completely dismiss and ignore character and leadership, which is a critical requirement to be President, when it comes to Donald Trump.
We have a former President who literally speaks hate out of his mouth and on his social platforms, spent 4 years as President on Twitter complaining about anything and everything, calls immigrants aliens, incited a mob to riot and attack the US Capitol, this week spoke of a golfers private parts as a badge of honor, proudly stated he grabs women by the “p***, struggled to lead us through the Covid crisis, his wife has not been with him on the campaign trail this year and the list goes on.
These are not 2nd hand accounts, all you have to do is listen to him speak and follow him on social media.
But yet many evangelicals say, vote your values and choose someone who is most closely aligned with the Bible but “disregard”what the Bible says about Godly character??
Agreed. You said rightly.
Finally! Yes! All this 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@Heb101922 you are deceived my friend
Thank you for this comment!! No need for me to comment now. Elegantly said and so understood by so many…especially me. I just can’t ignore the character of Trump. But I can’t ignore the policies of Kamala. So I’m no voting for President.
Much love Lisa and John love your content.
I understand this stance completely, I do. However, what if one candidate does what you stated above overtly and the other is more covert - yet the same in behind the scenes action? How do we proceed at that point?
John and Lisa,
While I agree with your admonition to honor the leaders and respect all, I have a few observations and questions to stimulate deeper biblical thinking.
I believe that the issue of character is much more important than it is presented in any go-vote message these days. When we dismiss unrepentant sexual sin, a torrent of slanderous, hateful, divisive rhetoric, lies, and dictatorial aspirations of our nation’s leader, we lose our high moral ground to criticize the moral decline of this nation. How can we judge sexual immorality of the liberal left if we excuse our leader’s adulterous behavior? Don’t we compromise the integrity of the gospel and our witness by disregarding the moral character of our representative? Pagan world is watching us and making their judgment about our faith based on our choices.
Secondly, I believe that spreading hateful slanderous rhetoric and promoting animosity is as egregious as murder in God’s eyes.
Is it merely a rhetorical device when Jesus says that “anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment” and anyone who says to his brother, “Raca”, is answerable to the Sanhedrin”? Is apostle John exaggerating when he says that “anyone who hates his brother is a murderer”?
I find it extremely harmful that a candidate who claims to represent Christian values, uses slanderous, hateful rhetoric like no other politician. In fact, he brought our standards & expectations down so low that most of his followers think that his rhetoric is the norm in politics. MAGA has been discipling the church for so long that we don’t even mind that they use God’s name to prop up Trump’s political campaign.
Thirdly. For me the holiness of God’s name is weightier than any political issue. It’s a tier one issue, if you will. Is the third commandment less important than the sixth?
Am I idealistic? Yes. But so is Jesus. He did not side with the Jewish “moral” elite in the culture war of his days. He chose the way of preaching the gospel, humble service and sacrifice over the way of political power.
And lastly, do you really believe in God’s sovereignty? I do and I absolutely trust that God can put the right kind of evil in the government to fulfill His purposes for this country and for the world. He is absolutely able to do it without me compromising the holiness of His name, my integrity and my witness.
Your perspective is rooted in the fashionable hate of Trump. We are not electing him to be our pastor, nor a leader in our church. We are voting for him because of his policies being closer to our principles and Christian values.
You are using the verses that are supposed to be directed to our brothers and sisters in Christ. The rulers, kings and Presidents are a different subject and John and Lisa addressed that on the video.
I am assuming you won't vote because for you the moral character of the person is more important.Maybe you will vote for the other candidate
God bless you
100% the sad truth is that there just isn’t any godly candidate this time around. Both candidates struggle with basic moral truths. Sitting this election out & letting America reap the fruit of her wickedness is probably what’s best for us Christians to do. Should we continue to fight for our values? Yes. But the Republican candidate is simply not worthy of Christian votes. He can be bought. He has turned his back on the unborn. We have a chance four years from now. But we have to let this man go.
@@saramartinez103
On the contrary, I feel like a lone voice in the dessert crying out against my fellow believers defending Trump as the champion for Christian values. I have not drawn my conclusions about his moral character from the media. I listen to his own words and read his “truths” and tweets. “For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks”. Listen to his words about immigrants, his opponents, his former staff members/advisors who have disagreed with him on his election claims, about Putin, Xi Jinping, & other dictators, about how a celebrity can treat women like objects and get away with it, read his Christmas and Easter posts, think about how he has changed his platform from decidedly pro-life to pro-reproductive rights, how he does not shy away from messianic comparisons. Think about how his rhetoric has influenced the church and what it has done to our gospel witness. For the first time in the history of the conservative movement, its leaders have come up with the “policy over personality“ propaganda point to distract us from one of the most important principles in electing a leader. You should think and pray about it and if you still believe he is a lesser evil and worth compromising your integrity for, definitely go and vote out of that conviction. But please don’t make it out to be a fight between good and evil, don’t coerce other believers to vote for policies if they have other convictions, and be prepared to repent and oppose Trump if he turns on us after he gets elected.
@@stasiadarling8159 can you please give us an analysis on Kamala, in the same way you do Trump's and tell us what Christians should do then.
Because if we follow your points we must abstain from voting and let the wicked triumph
@@saramartinez103
Please, know that I am not advocating for the democratic ticket. This audience rightly understands that their abortion and LGBTQ position are clearly unbiblical and harmful. Bringing this up is preaching to the choir. What I am pushing against is the assumption that this is a fight between good and evil. If you really think through the points I brought up in my comments, you will see past partisan blind spots.
Praying for humility for us all.
The Bible clearly condemns us for speaking out against people we don’t like for the same faults and or conditions of the heart that we overlook in those we do like. The Word of God explicitly tells those who are called Christ-ians in 2 Chronicle 7:14, “ "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and I will heal their land.” Our country is at a precipice of imploding because Christians are not following God’s lead and giving others the right of free will. Instead of us allowing others to make their own choices, we exert our will on others just like the enemy of our souls does. There are blessings that come with freely obeying God. Let’s stop talking about it and be about it. Pray that God’s will be done. Amen!
Platform is important when you have a leader who does not try to solve everything alone and listens to those around him/her who tries to enforce platform! Platform means nothing when the leader is prideful , stubborn, and forces his or her own way regardless of what those around him/her strongly encourages! Praying for all leaders whether I agree with them or not! GOD is totally in control! You both are wonderful teachers by the way! Love you both!
Love this and am so blessed by this conversation! Thank you!!!
John & Lisa - thank you for being God-Carriers. It is a tremendous responsibility to know that the world experiences God because of your words. I have watched several of your video’s, and I admire your courage to speak out, and your faithfulness towards our Lord and Savior.
It appears from this video that you supported the Trump policies from a Christian viewpoint. For years I have struggled with Donald Trumps character. Bottom line, I could never consider that he or his policies hold the best example of Christian values. Your advice of taking the 10 commandments and comparing them with policy seemed to bypass the greater commandment of “love thy neighbor”. Your example hi-lighted the commandment of “you shall not murder” relating to abortion only. How many people have been murdered because of hate towards another’s race or sexual orientation? Is one murder more acceptable than another in God’s eyes?
There has actually been an increase in abortion rates since the overturn of Roe vs Wade. What might this tell us Christians - could it be that this issue is best confronted at the grassroots level and not at the government level? So much of the New Testament is against the Pharisees and their laws - could there be a lesson to be learned here?
Can we honestly say that Trumps hateful rhetoric, fear mongering, and threat of mass deportation is how Jesus would handle this situation?
Every country experienced an economic downturn created by the pandemic. Most leaders believed that lockdowns were the best choice in saving lives. As a Christian we should be at peace knowing the hardships we are enduring are a trade-off for those lives saved. Today, under Bidens administration, the US economy numbers are very strong. Shame on Trump for lying about this. I fact-checked Trump on most of his statements and found he lied, a lot. The public deserves to hear truth.
When I analyzed Trump (and trust me, I researched both candidates in great detail) he seems to exemplify at least five of the seven deadly sins (pride, greed, wrath, envy, and lust). When analyzing Harris I saw joy, patience, kindness, and self control. Yes, she negated Trump by giving warning to the American public on being unfit, unhinged and a fascist. Most of these comments were initiated by many people who knew him best. Harris did not demean anyone else in her speeches. On the other hand, Trumps degradation towards her and a multitude of other people was unbridled and rampant.
For me, the telltale decision on who possessed more Christian values was demonstrated at his MSG rally and her Ellipse rally. No matter how open-minded I tried to be, I absolutely cannot view Trump as a president type simply by the way he conducts himself. I believe, for some, his constant “without me the country is doomed” left people feeling vulnerable and fearful to a point where non-Christians see him as their “Saviour” and the far more radical Christians see him as the fulfillment of prophecy. I don’t think he should be considered as either.
Myself, I will believe that God continues to accomplish His will. He is sovereign. He is ultimately responsible for setting leaders in place (often for reasons and purposes we do not understand). Yes, I am to obey the governing authorities (Rom 13:1) and to pray for them that God sees to it that they allow us freedom of worship (1 Tim 2:1-4), but, I will not presume to know the plan of God.
As a Christian I will not support Trumps revolution and seek to overthrow the government as liberation theology is contrary to God’s Word. I will however pray to God to be with our leaders who have put their own desires and delusions first, those that have put their ego in the place of God. We may not always understand why things happen the way they do, but we can trust that God will always be with us.
Hey John and Lisa, I honor you both and I’ve always believed that your teachings are anointed. I know that sometimes , there’s a gray area on the scripture you quoted about God putting people in place of authority and approving them, not necessarily appointing them. I totally agree with what Lisa said.I know that God is never surprised of any leader that’s being placed in power. We also know that God will not interfere with the choices of men just like when Israel needed a king , they ended up with a Saul. Although we know that Saul did not start out to be evil, but he eventually did . We can all agree that it is also the People’s choice of who they vote for. unfortunately not too many seek the Holy Spirit and ask who to vote for. He knows all things and he is the best person to ask who the rightful person is. He is the spirit of truth and and when he gives us the truth, it will set us free. That’s what happened to me in 2016. I had a specific person in mind to vote for but on my way to the voting polls, The Holy Spirit specifically told me that the person I had in mind was not God’s choice and he told me who I needed to vote for so I did and he won .
Decided to leave my comment here, cause that's the last video you have here for now. Hope you're gonna see it.
Just wanted you to know that I'm watching you from Ukraine, and I'm so inspired by what you both are doing :)
Here is a little testimony for you :)
September 19th I was watching your podcast with Allie Schnacky on the JWLKRS channel and heard about the book you had released "Fight for Female". I found it on the Amazon website and was like, okay one day I'll be able to get it somehow. Cause obviously we don't have the book here in Ukraine in our bookstores. But two days ago my friend texted me, she's from Portland, Washington, and she asked me whether I need something cause she was gonna send a package to Ukraine and she could put something for me as well. And I did ask her about the book, and she said that she's gonna send it here. Praise God 🙌
I would love to say that Holy Spirit uses you both for his glory, that's so powerful. Hope that my future husband and I are gonna be like you😊
Very enlightening
I believe in a country like ours where we have a democratic process, policy alone should not be the driving force in choosing a candidate. Paul and the early Christians did not have that luxury. Integrity of a candidate matters. Sadly, the moral decline has been so drastic that we now have to overlook integrity for policy.
Agree 100%, these so-called Christians are blind and are willing to willfully ignore a candidate’s long-standing character track record all in the name of choosing the “lesser of two evils”.
hello, i’m sorry , this is going to be long. please pray for me. i feel under attack and im scared. i feel far from God. and i’m struggling with believing the lies of the enemy, about myself, about God and His word. i sometimes open up the word and have so much shame and fear of God and punishment that i end up hearing His word as if everything was aimed at me. i understand that His word convicts and i need conviction.. (well i know i have a ton to work on, i feel like a mess). but it leaves me feeling helpless and condemned. this happens when i listen to some sermons and podcasts too. it’s gotten better but fluctuated. i believe it scrupulosity & religious Ocd. thankfully i have one or two people in the church i can reach out to (they’re not close friends but lovely people) because this feels so isolating. and honestly frightening and overwhelming. i’m struggling to discern what is truly guidance from the Holy Spirit because i’ve been hearing a lot of different things (having so many thoughts). many that accuse. many that make me feel abandoned and without help. many that make me feel incredibly bad about myself. im struggling. and this is hard. please keep me in your prayers. this is affecting the way i see God and i don’t want it to. not because of the way it makes me feel but because i start to believe that maybe those thoughts are from Him… simply because i know how imperfect i am, i know i need His grace. truly, i do.i start thinking that maybe im just trying to deceive myself if i don’t believe those thoughts. i want to love Him and love His word. but i need help and support. thank you so much.
🤍😭🙏
Praying for you🙏.
@@AHulin thank you ❤️🩹
Thank you family ❤
This is a great convo. Eye opener. Great advice. Thank you both! 🙏🏼💕🔥✝️
Lisa, your words in your books have been life-changing to me. Although I appreciate in part you both addressing this hard topic,it is clear who you are promoting for this presidency. When John tried to stick to scripture, Lisa you stepped in a couple of times to paraphrase and it was obvious to which candidate you were referring to. I wish this part would have been left out as it shows that there is a bit of entitlement in your delivery. Jesus was clear about which commandments were the most important why not reference that? I do appreciate hearing you pray for current president and commenting on the believers who believe joking, criticizing and making fun of candidates is not what God called us to.
Completely agree with you.
This is a great lesson in saying vote for trump without saying it!!! And covering it in American Christianity!! (Not Christianity)
I respect the Bevere’s on Biblical topics. But I will not be voting for Donald “Grab them by the p-“ Trump.
Oh ok vote for Kamala the kept prisoners past their sentences to use them as free labor Harris.
I’m so confused now on your standings now.
They clearly support Trump. They also support the non-Biblical position that we as Christians are somehow commanded or obligated to vote which is not supported by an single verse in the Bible.
This conversation encourages me because it reminds me Jesus' reign has already begun. The Bevere's gracefully modeled humanity, kindness and self-control and contended for the united approach God describes through Paul in Philippians 2:1-5. It also encourages all believers in Jesus to vote rather than compartmentalizing our stewardship and sitting out on election day.
This video concerns me because it implies that voting for one candidate is more Christ-like or biblical than voting for another as if one candidate is obviously more or less godly than their opponent. This is a dangerous and errant argument and divides the body of Christ- intentionally or unintentionally.
Paul Bevere said "most of the time, you're not gonna like the two candidates. What you have to do is pick the one that most stands with biblical values." Then Lisa Bevere added, "don't vote personality, vote principal," which implies there is a surefire measurement for all Christians to identify which candidate's principals and policies are in line with the Word of God, and their character is not important, or at least not as important. This is not what the Bible teaches, though.
In reality, both candidates claim to believe in Jesus. Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have both spoken with/ before churches and crowds of Christ followers, more and more frequently in the last 30 days. In the past, Donald Trump has said he cannot recall ever asking God for forgiveness and Kamala Harris has said she supports women choosing to abort their children. In a speech earlier this year, Donald Trump stated that we are all accountable to our Creator, who is God, and in recent interviews and a CNN town hall Kamala Harris stated she prays with her pastor and begins her day with prayer.
Donald Trump joked about grabbing a woman by her genitalia, was found liable for sexual assault, mocked a disabled reporter, and referred to Africa as a continent of "sh*it hole countries," among other statements that violate God's commands. Kamala Harris has lied and exaggerated claims to persuade voters and disrespected Donald Trump when he was the sitting president. This is what politicians do! So how can we definitively argue one candidate is more godly than another?
Both candidates have policies and principles that affirm and oppose the Word of God, and, no, it is not enough to simply examine a handful of talking points or initiatives posted on their website because Jesus teaches us to examine character. Jesus teaches us to examine fruit. He says a good tree cannot produce bad fruit and bad tree cannot produce good fruit. He says it is our LOVE for one another that will demonstrate we are His disciples, not our partisanship. When you read God's Word and spend time with Him in prayer, do you really see His heart reflected in Donald Trump? Do you really see His heart reflected in Kamala Harris? Character should be an ESSENTIAL consideration for Christian voters. What about the company they keep? Not the people who endorse them, but the people they consider to be friends, mentors, or role models, the people they admire- this should matter. Two devout Christ followers can come to different conclusions on who is the better candidate and vote in good faith!!!
Now, the comments and stories the Bevere's shared in this conversation suggest that they're conservative thinkers who likely vote Republican, and there is absolutely nothing in scripture that suggests voting Republican is wrong. My point is there is nothing in scripture that suggests voting Democrat is wrong either. This is not a single-issue election.
The goal of political parties is to win elections, not to win souls for Jesus. Both parties profess to promote peace, order, and prosperity. The party Christians choose to support is a matter of preference.
The strongest argument I hear for all Christians voting the same way is abortion. As Bible-believing followers of Jesus, we know to abort a pregnancy is to kill a child created in the image of God. To justify abortion by referring to a fetus as an "it," simply a clump of cells and not human being, is to de-humanize the image of God. Still, neither candidate supports outlawing abortion.
Regarding the states with the most restrictions, Donald Trump said this month in a town hall on FOX News to an all-female audience that many of these rulings "are gonna be redone," to mitigate some of these restrictions. Donald Trump and JD Vance have both reiterated they do not support a national abortion ban, and the Republican party removed the pro-life issue from its platform at their convention this year. They did not mention it once probably because they know it could cost them votes. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris plans to reinstate Roe v. Wade, ensuring abortion is legal with the restrictions stated in Roe v. Wade and no additional restrcitions. Abortion is not the only issue on the ballot with an explicit stance from God's Word, though.
What about immigration? I'm not referring to border security or our obviously disfunctional citizenship process, but the way we refer to immigrants. At 21:47, Lisa Bevere refers to undocumented immigrants who enter the country illegally as "aliens." Intentional or unintentional, that is de-humanizing image-bearers of God!!! Donald Trump's campaign invited a comedian to speak at his New York rally, and he called Puerto Rico a floating island of trash!! Does this not matter? Both candidates support strong border security and increased aid both through finances and personnel to the southern border. It's fascinating that the only undocumented immigrants we discuss are those from Mexico and Central American, not Europe. I digress...
What about the economy? Should all Christians agree on whose policies are better for their present and future? What about foreign policy? Considering the humanitarian crises in Gaza and Ukraine and Russia, should all Christians agree on whose policies will more effectively bring peace? The answer is no. We already have a prince of peace. He is Jesus- Yahweh Shalom. God can and will use either candidate for His glory. Christians can disagree on whom they prefer. It's not our vote on November 5th that's biblical, it's our love for one another on November 6th and beyond.
I am a follower of Jesus Christ and it saddens me that every time I hear pastors talk about the election and say “vote the Bible” they then proceed to only speak about abortion and lgbtq+. There are so many other issues facing us and the liberties of certain Americans at stake that, unfortunately do not look like you all. And yet somehow, these two issues are your whole focus (oh I dare not forget to mention all the dangerous illegal aliens coming in to harm us). I don’t hear any pastor who constantly harp on these two main issues bringing up gun safety when countless children have been taken due to this epidemic, and not by the hands of “illegal aliens”. As followers of Jesus Christ we, of course, follow God’s leading in all we do. And God also gives us common sense. It’s clear who you’re saying not to vote for and who to vote for. Regardless of who makes it in office I can agree with you on one thing, as followers of Jesus we must pray! Pray for our nation, our leaders, those who fight for our country, our children’s safety, our environment, our families… we must pray. And we must not allow the spirit of division to infiltrate our hearts. God bless.
Exactly. It’s wildly obtuse, but I expect nothing less considering Americans are so politically and biblically illiterate.
Good post.... "voting the bible" is not possible. Neither party is Christ-centered and I don't need them to be. We all have things we are concerned about, so pray and vote accordingly.
PREEEAAAAACH PREACH PREACH!!!!! UUhh Goodness!!! SAY IT LOUD FOR THE CHRISTIANS IN THE BACK!
Its like abortion and lgbtq+ are the "CAPITAL SINS OF THE UNIVERSE"... anything else, its "aaaah thats not that bad, just pray for him. We are all not perfect" WHAT???
Amen! How a Christian can support Trump is crazy to me! There are lots of Republicans voting for Kamala. Maga party is not the normal Republican party. Trump is anything but decent. I pray for his salvation and his family. They are all walking with the enemy!
I am Canadian, living in Niagara Falls and go to an American University, so I feel the heaviness that this vote brings. I hate to admit that "what could happen" is worrying me way more than it should. But I completely agree that abortion and LGBTQ+ are not the only issues that should sway a Christian's vote. I just don't understand how Christians are expected (by so many other Christians) to vote for a leader who is a criminal, womanizer and someone who shows blatant disrespect to most other humans. I am so glad that I don't have to vote. I am praying for you, America! xo
Please do a video on Halloween. I believe I should have never celebrated this when my children who are grown Adults now. The Holy Spirit has convicted me that this is a Demonic holiday.
Vladimir Savchuk has posted some videos about Halloween lately from a Christian perspective. Also John Ramirez.
You said he convicted you. What if he didn’t convict someone else of it. Does God make some things off limits for some, but not for others?
What if Christians prayed about whether to vote or not and the Holy Spirit discouraged it. Then they would be violating their conscience if they vote not so?
Yes, the Holy Spirit can tell us not to vote. There is NO command in the Bible telling Christians to vote at all. Matter of fact, a constitutional republic (the government we have in the USA) did not even exist in the time of Christ so there is no specific provision in the Bible for a voting system administered under a two party system.
I agree
I love both of you but it’s very clear who you’re voting for
As it should be, considering they’re Christians & uphold biblical truth.
@@ChristineTXWhere in the Bible are we commanded to vote for a man who is hateful, prideful, narcissistic, deceitful, slanderous, murderous, sexually unfaithful and devious, greedy, covetous, etc.?
Where in the Bible are we commanded to vote for anyone who embodies traits which God DETESTS?
Yup this video is biased and they are using highly coded language to subtly announce their endorsement of Trump.
The problem is christian leaders dancing around the truth. While Trump is not perfect and I don't stand behind everything he has said, the choice is very clear. If you care at all about the safety of Americans and a secure border, VOTE TRUMP. If you care at all about the unborn and protecting their lives, VOTE TRUMP. As a christian, there is absolutely no justification to vote Harris/Walz. They are radically pro-abortion and it is unacceptable. Pastors need to stop being afraid to speak the truth about this. Lives are at stake.
Trump is pro life? 😂
Did you know Trump, in 2016, championed the 6 week heartbeat bill which protected fetuses from being aborted after 6 weeks but he is now, all of a sudden, claiming that 6 weeks is not enough and he now instead is advocating for abortions up to 16 weeks (a point at which 92% of abortions are administered). He is an opportunist who does not truly care about the lives of the unprotected and will shift his stance to align more closely with the changing moral climate in order to secure the popular vote (as he has now done with his stance on abortion).
How can you as a Christian call it the “truth” to vote for a man whose character embodies everything that Christ and the full counsel of Scripture stand against? … A man whose character is rotten and has been for over 60 years ….a man who is a criminal and a felon, a man who incited an insurrection, a man who confessed to grabbing women by their genatalia, a man who called Africa a “bunch of s--hole nations”???
Really? Voting for this guy is the “truth”???
GOD choses leaders in every country good or bad. Take King David for example the adulterate murderer of his good and loyal General. Trump is a saint compared to King David.
Like Dementia Joe said if you don't vote for him "you ain't black" but same thing goes if you vote for Baby Butcherer Harris you're not a Christian.
Pls do a video on how we should approach the war
What war do you mean?
Policies it’s Matters / Trump gonna bring US better for everyone including those that had not bite for him .
Please 🙏 just Unifying and American gonna be good again 😊
I’m so not understanding why this is being said. You made a big point about abortion but what about the races comments and the division of our nation don’t you think when people do abortions it’s on them.
Why Christian should put higher priority on unborn children over children who have been born and died in current wars?
Thank you Lord that Trump won orwemay now have freedom as Christians in this country
Agreed
Personality and principle are equally important. Voters are not going to agree with everything one candidate states in his or her plan.
Which candidate do you believe has the heart to hear the voice of Holy Spirit is the crucial question, right?!
None of them do because they are both wicked sinners who occasionally honor God with their lips but also both have hearts which are far from Him (as evidenced by both of their actions)
What i hear you say, that where ever we are in the world, who ever rules as a government, first and foremost i have to grow in the healthy fear of the Lord and love and care about people in my local community. Even if political correctness is ungodly i don't have to be.
So vote for the convicted sexual predator, the liar, the cheater, the one who has no morals or character? The divider and chief, the one who is only running for office just to stay out of jail? The one who has never served anyone but himself a day in his life? The one who called people stupid and bad and everything else? I would not want my 5 yr old listening to this unserious character who is beneath the office. The same man who said he never asked God for forgiveness because he hasn’t done anything wrong!! Can God use him? Yes, we all know God can use anyone. But i cannot in good conscience vote for this man. I’m a christian and don’t see anything Donald Trump does that lines up with christian values. Maybe God is using Kamala, i mean he can use anyone right??? Neither one of them are perfect, but i’m voting for the one that acts like the adult in the room!!! The one that doesn’t send out hateful tweets @2am. I’m tired of all the division this man has unleashed on our country. This man is FULL of pride let me add..How is the Godly? and what policies ? he now believes in abortion!!
My vote is between me and God. I say this with ALL due respect!
Yeah vote for the one that withheld evidence from a man that was in death row, kept prisoners past their sentences to use them as free labor (slave labor), vote for the one that for a whole year lied saying she went to the border but didn't, vote for the one that believes in human sacrifice (abortion), Trump's calls out the politicians while the Dems call out his supporters calling them "deplorables", "semi-facist", and "racist". Sounds really divisive.
That sounds like a two face person to me.
When I hear Christians say they're looking for the character or image of a leader.... They're looking for an idol commiting the sin of idolatry.
Wow, I guess you have done your homework on Kamala’s past. You’re IN BLIND FAITH supporting someone who is inept and corrupt to the core. You’ve been bamboozled.
Why are these Breveres ignoring the fact that the candidate they are choosing said Florida’s 6-wk abortion ban is too short? He is Not anti-abortion, so that issue does not differentiate the candidates, and he mocks his Christian followers behind closed doors.
It is the character of Jesus Christ that makes our Lord and Savior, so to ignore character seems blasphemous-one candidate conducts themselves in a more Christ-like behavior, so she gets my vote.
I think that’s a VERY naive and short sighted perspective. There is a lot more at stake than this. Kamala Harris is a puppet (remember she was installed and not voted in) of a deep state machinery that desires to rip apart the fabric of society ie: the family unit, freedom of religion, freedom of speech- they are censoring free speech as we speak. There is alot more to it and I pray you will have your eyes opened.
The way God appoints the next leader is by placing on each individual's heart who to vote for. Some believers are basing their decision on being "pro-life" and anti-lgbtq and other believers are basing their decision on helping the poor & less fortunate and anti-racism, anti-theft, anti-murder, anti-greed, etc. so then the bottom line is that both parties have dual satanic/biblical platforms. God's instruction to me is to vote how He tells me to; not based on what any other believer is saying. For some, God is directing them to vote Harris and for others, He's directing them to vote Trump.
God is not the author of confusion
For some He may be directing them to not vote at all
African Americans have to look at so much more in addition to this.
💯
Black people in this country know how to vote, whether non-black people agree or understand. Stop assuming that how you think is beyond our consideration.
Don’t let politicians create fear based on race. All they do is keep people down and divide people based on race and gender, and use black people to push radical policies :(
Sooooo good ❤ thank you
With murder, it’s not just about the pro-life/pro-choice, it’s also to what behavior the candidate ignites in his/her people. Are we inciting violence against others which will lead to murder/violence? It’s all the same blood is still on your hands. 🙏🏾
Yup Jesus says “whoever is angry at his brother without cause is a murderer”
These “evangelical Christians” (who do not fully represent all Christians) conveniently ignore that Trump is a hateful, viscous man who incites hatred and vindictiveness. In the words of Christ, He is a MURDERER. These so-called Christians are willing to turn a blind eye to his blatantly wicked evil character all in the name of choosing “the lesser of two evils”
Mr Trump did not incite a riot. The propaganda media that represents both corrupt sides of the aisle has brainwashed so many people to be against Trump. We must realize the Bush, Obama, and Biden administration want our God given rights stripped from us as china has, has Russia had, as Mussolini Italy had and other socialist regimes did. We as followers of Christ will always be ok but we are called to care for the non Christians as well. A vote for VP Harris who I pray God’s blessings and favor on often will usher in a socialist society.
I have grown to really love Donald, Melania and Barron as I pray daily for them. I have difficulty praying for Biden and Kamala but do, I will try to be more faithful.
How? He lies about everything. Caused an insurrection. Cut taxes for the wealthy. Doesn't pay people. He has horrible character. What news are you watching? ( serious question)
Pray for Trumps salvation, his family and for them to walk in the light not darkness.
How is it hard for you to pray for somebody that shows love and kindness towards other but it's easy for you to pray for somebody that's Bill hate blasphemy in adultery and shows greed and one nothing about power and grips of religion literally shows racism it's easy for you to pray for that person but not the other person or people that show compassion for others
Very insightful-I actually loved so much of this! While we are embracing love for one another, let’s avoid using hateful rhetoric that dehumanizes people. Instead, let’s use biblical language and refer to individuals as… well, people, not “illegal aliens.” That term is extremely demeaning and rude. I see your good intentions, and within that, there’s room for growth. Just because certain phrases are common in our culture doesn’t make them right. The Bible offers numerous ways to refer to immigrants, such as “strangers,” “sojourners,” or “foreigners.” You could also simply say “immigrants” or “undocumented.” It may seem like a small thing, but these types of coded words have historically been used to dehumanize and oppress marginalized groups, making it easier to justify hateful treatment. Thanks for considering this.
Lisa.. I love your hair .. you're beautiful
Voted Kamala Harris! Thank you for the encouragement to do so.
me too
So you voted for abortion up to birth , homosexual marriage , gender bending mutilation of kids , no freedom of speech , open borders with the influx of millions nobody knows who the are among them are criminals and murderers that already killed a great # of Americans , high continuous inflation ,high gas prices and high energy in general . How can a so called righteous Christian vote for a Marxist like K.Harris . No one encouraged you to vote K. Harris , its just your terrible choice .
I pray that the blindness will come off your eyes
@@dachater1 if you vote for trump then I’ll pray for your blindness off your eyes
@@dachater1spoken like a true pharisees, cleaning the mold in another Believer's eye while leaving the mote in your eye.
It is a duty to vote, not just a privilege. The preamble says WE the People. The constitution was based on the Bible with more than 1500 references to the Bible. Christians should take the Biblical Citizenship class offered by Patriot Academy. It is a free class but is more interesting if you take as a group. We as Americans need to understand where our constitution came from and learn what is in the constitution and where our bill of rights come from.
Thank you, John and Lisa Bevere for standing up and speaking the truth. As the Lord laid on my heart I believe anyone who votes for Kamala Harris is coming in agreement with the shedding of innocent blood and the new community we see that cannot describe what a woman is yet they want female rights. I believe God is gonna hold them responsible for aligning with these things. There are issues with both candidates however we are not choosing a Pastor we are looking at the best that comes in alignment with the standard of the word, Most importantly no one can save this nation not Donald Trump nor Kamala Harris the Church needs to rise up pray and repent and seek God's face. 2 Chronicles 7:14..
Here’s a fact: Donald Trump is not truly pro-life at all. In 2016 he championed the 6 week heart beat bill which protected all fetuses from abortion after 6 weeks. Now, in 2024, he said that 6 weeks is to low and is now advocating for abortions up to 16 weeks which at this point, accounts for 92% of abortions.
He is pro-life in name only.
Also, beyond this, his character is truly wicked according to every Biblical measure and we as Christians are not called to “vote on the lesser of two evils”. We can choose to abstain from voting and choose instead to pray that our elected official truly repents and turns from their wicked ways.
God will also hold all Christians who vote for Trump responsible.
Amen brother 👏
I liked your POINT OF VIEW however if one candidate is against biblical principles and the other doesn’t know God then we go by character. I heard a pastor say if we vote for someone who is FOR BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES meaning they are against gay rights they are against abortions …A SINNER will ALWAYS find a WAY to do whatever they feel.
We are to pray FOR EVERYONE. Our leaders ,those who hurt us despitefully use us ,Harm us and so on and so forth❤ I also heard someone from my church say 2016 election (person of choice by the people) who won was because of God… this person said the reason being it brought people to God. There are many stories in the Bible that God chose certain people (who may not have been a preference of choice by flesh) but God has A PURPOSE then n now. The president has a leader and HIS NAME JESUS
HES THE KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORDS
HE IS ABBA FATHER❤
BOW DOWN AND WORSHIP JESUS ❤
SOON EVERY KNEE WILL BOW AND EVERY TONGUE WILL CONFESS THAT JESUS IS LORD❤
When it comes to policy, we have an explicitly anti-God party and one that is way more aligned with God. It’s an easy choice for me
‘Nuff said. Thanks for saying it.
How do you define “align with God”? Those that “love they neighbor”? My God tells me to love others and the least among us…and the Judging is for Him to do, not me.
@@maggieroo2242 what do you mean by not judging….
@@clydesmithjr2588 How could ANY Christian vote for the GOP, a party that absolutely despises EVERYTHING that Jesus stood for?
We have accepted the Mark of the Beast.
Thank you for sharing this. My ballot is here beside me and I have been uncertain what to do. This really helped.
This is a serious question, what happens when the rulers become a terror to the people? Because I feel we are dangerously close to that line. How do we pray specifically for them and can we point out the obvious about them? It's hard to hate what God hates and then feel a deep love for any person that celebrates killing babies and is deliberately destroying our nation. I know I need to pray for them but it's like chewing a pickle while praying. I'm also human and so grieved for the future of my kids and future generations that the America we once loved is slowly (actually very quickly) slipping away.
In prewar Germany, Hitler also advertised for Christian value and they paraded holding up banners of cross.
@@manlunglDingbat, Trump was already President for 4 years and he was not Hitler but a very successful President.
Any athlete knows you have to play the game. Face the opponent on the playing field. Do your role. Overcome lost points, failed attempts, biased referees, unethical players. If you sit on the bench you don’t win. Believe me the evil one could not care less about your supposed moral high ground while you sit in inaction he will take more territory. Jesus was very political. He faced the Sanhedrin, Pharisees, Romans, pagans, ate with the sinners. You must engage. Change comes through actions. Thought prayers and attitudes matter But actions = change.
Vote to protect your Religious Liberty and other Freedoms in America. Vote against Marxism and Open Borders. Vote Red in 2024. I already did. 😊
I voted blue
Yes!! SO GOOD Y’ALL!!!! 👏🏻
There is NO WAY I'm voting for Trump!!!!!! Your podcast is so twisted!!! Reminds me how slavery was justified in America by using cherry picked Biblical scriptures. So disappointed by you two!
Agreed.
The current Democrat party is extremely anti-God. Trump’s personality is awful, but the impact of who is president is so much more than one personality.
If you are voting according to biblical truth. I do not see how you can disagree
Thank you John and Lisa you guys are a blessing to the Christian community. You helped me with this election because I was one that wasn't going to vote because I didn't agree with either one of them.
I respect you noth but I want to add to what yiu did not say.
Murder is not only limited to children in mothers womb. Murder includes murdering people who are alive.
If someone fears God, they cannot be hateful, discrimination, and violent. From the 2 candidates, who is really God-fearing and respectful. I think the female candidate seems to be more God-fearing and respectful.
Jesus summed up the whole commandment into 2. Love God and love your neighbor. So, which platform is proving move loving? It's strange that we talk about biblical values but it seems hate, violence, division, pride, rude racism, oppression killing of black people are biblical values. It is strange how some Christians think that biblical values are only abortion and same sex marriage. But somehow killing of innocent people is not Murder. Strange how killing of unborn babies is murder but once the babies are born, when they are shot and killed it is not Murder. You can be pro-abortion and not prolife. If life is important, why is no one mentioning murdering of people in church, In movie theaters at school. Show me where the Bible says hate, violence, division, pride, and oppression is a Godly principle. Infact when I look at both parties, one party has only 2 biblical principles and it is abortion, and same set marriage. The other party has loving your neighbors, kind to strangers or foreigners who are among you, helping the poor and oppressed, providing resources like healthcare to preserve life, taking care of the elderly, renouncing the Murder of minorities or people who have no voice, respecting other people. When I look at both, I see that the other side has more biblical principles than the one that has just 2.
On the last note, both parties support Murder. One supports the Murder of blacks and minorities, killings through unfounded wars and school shootingz, shootings in places of warship while the other supports killing of unborn children.
So if you take out that part bc both are guilty, then one party has only one biblical principle and that is same saex marriage while the other party has numerous values as listed above

Matthew 6:24-26,
Amplified Bible (AMP),
“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon [money, possessions, fame, status, or whatever is valued more than the Lord].
Dear All,
This worship of money over what is right and just ... is why Trump won. We have accepted the Mark of the Beast at the Ballot Box. God help us all.

American churches mixing in politics has always baffled me…. And this sideways “vote for trump” propaganda is hilarious for anyone watching from outside of America and makes you realise how biased the American vote is!!
This is God's Country? It was until we re-elected evil.
Relax brothers and sisters Trump was prophesy to be the leader from a far nation across the heavens 2800 years ago. The iconic photo was described perfectly in Isa. 13:2 pumping his fist shouting fight fight fight with the banner flying behind him in the back ground.
Isa. 13:2 "Lift up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice onto them, shake the hand; that they may go into the gates of the nobles".
You too are so hypocritical !!! Just say you want your audience to vote Republican!!!! Bye!!!!
Yup agreed.
Personal and character apparently doesn’t matter to these so-called “Christians” any more.
Before Trump got into office in 2016, 2/3 of evangelicals were polled as saying that “personal integrity matters in a politician” and after 2016, the statistics flipped completely with evangelicals saying the EXACT OPPOSITE. These people are hypocrites who turn a blind eye to Trump’s wickedness all in the name of a false and idolatrous devotion to their nation and traditions (most of which aren’t even Biblical)
This is not hard. This election should be easy for Amerikans. Harris Walz.
💙💙💙💙
For American CHRISTIANS, that should also be easy, Trump Vance ❤❤❤❤❤
@@ChristineTXnot with the hate they spew and using GOD and religion for votes. GOD is love not hate the way he talks about the immigrants that’s not Christlike
@@Rayne35legal immigration isn’t the issue, it’s the illegal aliens invading our country that he doesn’t want, nor do the majority of the country. All countries have borders for a reason.
@@ChristineTX I am a Christian that voted for Kamala
Trump Vance 2024!!!! Christ is King!
Trump 2024
Oh my goodness…😍
don’t tell me we’ll
Still
Be
Here!!!!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣
There should be no question,
Trump is more aligned
With FatherGod and
His Righteousness!!!!!!!!!
He put Trump in office
the first time, He can
do it again!!!!!!!!!!!⚓️
Vote tomorrow and vote blue and let Donald J Trump go back to Florida in his expensive assisted living home!
Voting blue will cause more than half of the USA to feel blue. Like this video clearly stated, we are voting for policy not personality. I ask you do think for yourself and do your homework. Dig into an unbiased investigation on Kamala. She basically slept her way to her political career AND THAT’S A FACT.
Unless God tells me to vote I'm absolutely not doing it.
Amen!!
Respectfully, undocumented immigrants pay around 96.7 billion in federal, state, and local taxes. That last part and language around it exactly what sows division among us. This makes me question how you feel about immigrants at large and those seeking refuge.
This saddens me, because I love your content. But this made it very clear who you’re voting for and takes away from the larger point you’re trying to make.
All welcome and greetings to you, my dear brothers
Allah Almighty said: (And they ask you about orphans. Say, "Improvement for them is best. But if you mix with them [your brothers]").
Your sister from Gaza, the wife of a martyr in the war of the flood of Al-Aqsa __y😞
Whoever complains of hardness in his heart, and wants his heart to be benevolent, he should have mercy on the orphan, stroke his head, and feed him from his food, so his heart will soften.

I have a little girl, and we have no one to support us after my husband.)
Our house was destroyed by the occupation forces.
I need someone to help my daughter, even if it is something simple,
and he will have a good deed with Allah that he will be rewarded for.
"I and the sponsor of an orphan will be in heaven"
JESUS IS LORD. MAHUMMAD IS A LIAR.
Though a have little else to offer, I pray for you, for your family, and for all the suffering people of Palestine.
May God grant you peace, food to eat, a house to live in, and health for you and your dear child.
Jesus said, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. " May you find comfort.
God promises, throughout the Bible, to bring justice when the powerful oppress those in need. I pray (and vote) for leaders who will not oppress and kill the Palestinian people in my country, in Israel, as well as in Palestine.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May the Lord's countenance shine upon you.
May the Lord turn his face toward you and grant you peace.
Assalaam'alaikum
