Jeff said, "I will do all in my power to help turn this around, and then as I am bid by the scriptures, I will wait on the arm of the Lord to be revealed.."

I don't see that he's saying he'll do whatever, and then consult scripture later. He said, he'll do whatever he is able, and then as we are told (bid) by the scriptures, to "wait upon the Lord..." That is scriptural to do. We are supposed to 'wait upon the Lord'. God gives us direction as we go about doing His will. Then we are to wait until He reveals further His will before we proceed further. I'm not reading it at all the way you have.

I don’t see that he’s saying he’ll do whatever, and then consult scripture later. He said, he’ll do whatever he is able, and then as we are told (bid) by the scriptures, to “wait upon the Lord...”

Again, I didn’t ask you, I asked Jeff to clarify because only he knows what he was saying. It sounded like he will act, do what he can, and then consult scripture, which is totally backward from what the bible teaches, and what too many people rely on. It’s up there with the idea of “God helps those who help themselves” which is no where in scripture and antithetical to it. We’re supposed to wait upon the Lord and then act. Not vice-a-versa. If more Christians waited upon the Lord before taking things in their own hands, I think we’d have a different world.

First of all, when God has something in HIS WORD that is clear direction. And HIS Word is HIS will.

We are to be hearers and doers of His Word. And waiting on The Lord means as a waiter waits - serving and doing while listening for some direction specifically for that person. That does not apply to voting.

This is not the last day of their debates. A spiritual person would know the first day.

I think Jeff is implying - he will do whatever he can and God will reveal if his efforts were good enough - If Romney wins. We are responsible for who we vote for - if there is no Truth in us, we are responsible for that also. God revealed 'all' already and any supposed waiting on The Lord - it would HAVE TO AGREE with His Written Word anyway. And it doesn't apply in this situation anyway.

Christians are well equipped to handle any situation - He didn't leave us powerless or w/a need to know what to do. If one is living their faith, they know almost immediately. A spirit filled Christian has wisdom and discernment and this election was a no brainer.

You didn't have to think and dawdle about it, you just knew! Because you know God/HIS WILL/HIS WORD. Only those who don't would be stumped, or act stumped to appear religious w/'I'm waiting to hear'. Those who embrace evil, are attracted to it and knew immediately, also. I/my spirit is repulsed by it and know the tactics and snares of satan. His Word equips us!
