'Tis€the€season€for€change.€Every€candidate€promises€it:Ï"vote€for€me;€I'll€mñKñakñKñe€things€better!"ÌÌ

And€we€are€ready€for€it.€Who€wouldn't€like€to€see€theÏeconomy€improve?€Who€wouldn't€like€to€see€the€poor€fed,€theÏhomeless€housed,€and€injustices€righted?ÌÐ -S( Ð

But€we€have€our€doubts.€We€have€heard€the€promisesÏbefore,€and€have€seen€the€status€quo€go€unchanged.€WhatÏpolitician€has€ever€carried€out€all€his€promises?ÌÌ

Political€candidates€appear€to€have€a€supreme€confidenceÏthat€they€can€make€the€world€better.€Reality€indicatesÏotherwise.ÌÌ

Today's€candidates€mostly€leave€God€out€of€the€picture.ÏSome€bring€Him€in€to€gain€support€for€their€position.€"God€isÏon€my€side;€vote€for€me!"€They€don't€seem€to€be€concernedÏwith€obeying€Him,€but€with€using€Him.ÌÌ

Let€me€ask€you:€If€you€were€the€all„powerful€and€all„wiseÏGod,€would€you€let€men€use€you?€The€whole€idea€insultsÏGod's€power€and€wisdom.€God€doesn't€òòhaveóó€to€take€sides;€HeÐ 3ƒ Ðhas€absolute€control€of€the€whole€process€and€result.€The€BibleÏsays,€òò"The€most€High€ruleth€in€the€kingdom€of€men,€and€givethÐ Í Ðit€to€whomsoever€he€will"óó€(Daniel€4:17).Ð j ÐÌ

Furthermore,€the€sovereign€God€does€not€always€put€"theÏbest€man"€into€office:€that€same€Scripture€says€that€HeÏsometimes€òò"setteth€up€over€óó[nationsñ,ñ]ñ,ñòò€the€basest€of€men."óóÐ N!ž ÐÌ

But€I€digress.€Let's€get€back€to€the€idea€of€change.€IfÏpoliticians€cannot€bring€lasting€change,€where€is€it€to€comeÏfrom?€The€answer,€of€course,€is€that€it€must€come€from€God.ÌÌ

Politics€and€politicians€are€not€God's€primary€ways€ofÏbringing€out€His€good€changes.€Jesus€made€that€plain€when€HeÏsaid,€òò"My€kingdom€is€not€of€this€world"óó€(John€18:36).€AnotherÐ ¶+' Ðtime,€Jesus€said,€òò"The€kingdom€of€God€is€within€you"€óó(LukeÐ -S( Ð17:21).ÌÌ

God's€kingdom€is€definitely€different€from€the€nations€weÏknow€about.€His€kingdom€has€no€national€boundaries.€ItÏincludes€òò"all€that€in€every€place€call€upon€the€name€of€JesusÐ ä 4 ÐChrist€our€Lord,€both€theirs€and€ours"óó€(1€Corinthians€1:2).Ð 1 � ÐÌ

It€has€no€political€candidates.€In€fact,€Jesus€taught€that€inÏHis€kingdom€we€are€not€to€seek€to€be€great€or€to€be€leaders.ÏHe€said€that€in€this€world's€systems€òò"they€that€are€greatÐ eµ  Ðexercise€authority€upon€them.€But€it€shall€not€be€so€amoungÏyou:€but€whosoever€will€be€great€amoung€you,€let€him€be€yourÏminister;€and€whosoever€will€be€chief€amoung€you,€let€him€beÏyour€servant"€óó(Matthew€20:25„27).Ð ™é ÐÌ

You€may€wonder:€does€such€a€kingdom€actually€exist?€ItÏdoes.€And€if€you€want€to€see€real€change€in€your€life,€join€thatÏkingdom.ÌÌ

How€can€you€find€someone€who€is€in€God's€kingdom?ÏLook€for€them.€They€will€have€different€goals€from€theÏaverage€person.€They'll€be€rather€obviously€pursuingÏsomething€other€than€wealth,€rank,€privilege,€or€fun.€You€mayÏeven€find€them€a€bit€strange€at€first.ÌÌ

You€will€find€that€they€are€part€of€a€church.€Now,Ïchurches€are€everywhere,€and€you€and€I€both€know€that€theÏpeople€in€many€of€them€are€no€different€from€anyone€else.ÏYou€need€to€look€at€the€way€they€live.€These€folks€will€wantÏto€live€pure€lives.€Get€to€know€them,€and€you'll€realize€thatÏthey€really€do€want€clean€hearts€and€thoughts.€They€will€beÏ"walking€the€talk"„„attempting€to€actually€obey€the€Bible.Ð -S( Ї

Watch€them.€You€will€find€they€not€only€worship€together,Ïthey€love€each€other.€Jesus€said,€òò"By€this€shall€all€men€knowÐ ýM Ðthat€ye€are€my€disciples,€if€ye€have€love€one€to€another"€óó(JohnÐ Jš Ð13:35).ÌÌ

They€will€be€striving€to€follow€Jesus'€teaching€by€servingÏothers.€They'll€be€giving€their€time,€energy,€and€efforts€to€helpÏothers,€and€they'll€be€doing€it€cheerfully.ÌÌ

They€will€have€faults€so€don't€expect€perfection.€But€theyÏwill€try€to€admit€their€wrongs€and€make€them€right.ÌÌ

Again,€I€recommend€for€you€a€òòrealóó€change:€join€God'sÐ Lœ  Ðkingdom.€Become€a€part€of€His€family€and€place€yourselfÏunder€His€rule.€It€is€a€very€simple€step€but„„be€forewarned„„itÏis€a€very€costly€one.€Jesus€explained€it€this€way:€òò"WhosoeverÐ 3ƒ Ðhe€be€of€you€that€forsaketh€not€all€the€he€hath,€he€cannot€beÏmy€disciple"óó€(Luke€14:33).Ð Í ÐÌ

This€change€is€so€great,€so€thorough,€that€the€Bible€calls€itÏbeing€born€again.€It€is€a€change€from€the€inside€out.€God'sÏHoly€Spirit€enters€you€and€remakes€you.€He€gives€you€a€newÏheart.€He€gives€you€a€new€"want€to."€He€gives€you€a€newÏspirit:€one€that€is€in€tune€with€God€Himself.€òò"If€any€man€be€inÐ ›"ë ÐChrist,€he€is€a€new€creature:€old€things€are€passed€away;Ïbehold,€all€things€are€become€new"óó€(2€Corinthians€5:17).Ð 5%…  ÐÌ
