Posture

211. I Had to Stop Doing This


Listen Later

What if the people we disagree with aren’t targets for our accusation, but people we’re called to intercede for?

In the middle of election season, I’ve noticed something. A lot of Christians are connecting God’s mercy, His favor, His blessing to political outcomes.

When “their” candidate wins, it’s evidence of God’s blessing. When they lose? Judgment. But that’s Old Covenant thinking. We’re under a New Covenant.

Everything is based on Jesus’s finished work, not on who’s in office. God’s character doesn’t fluctuate with election results.

In this episode, I’m sharing what landed in my spirit recently: the difference between accusation and intercession, how fear drives both sides of the political spectrum, and what it looks like to engage from your identity in Christ rather than from panic.

This is not a call to political passivity. This is a call to political engagement on a whole new level.
