E70 – 2024 Presidential Election – Beyond Bars: A Guide to Voting

Hello everyone. And welcome to a prisoners part in podcasts with me, your hosts, Michi, J. What an incredible week we are going into, this is the week of November the fourth. To Morrow, which is Tuesday, we will be voting for the next president of the United States. This will be the 2024 presidential election. And I know like many of you. We are ready for it in. Plus we want to win. So I want to talk to you about how to win the 20, 24 presidential election. How do you do that? You do it. Three ways. One, you do your research. Too. You talk to God and pray to God. With that information on how to vote. And three, your vote. Okay, let's get into this. Doing your research is number one. This is so important because. How would, you know, What you working with? Unless you do your research. You look at the policies and the platforms. And you see what the candidate is talking about. In what they want. And you also make sure you check your platform and your policies as say this because. You may. Be one of those who have just come out of jail. One is stay out or you've been out a while and want to stay out. It doesn't matter. One of your policies would be staying that way. You have to maintain your freedom. the atmosphere is toxic. And it has gotten many people in trouble. They are committing crimes like. Voter fraud. Going on to people's property in destroying it. And also they are getting into heated arguments, which leads to fight. All of these are felonies. Which can lead you right back to jail. Another policy would be two. Keep healthy relationships. You want to not wreck the relationships you've already. Fixed Talking politics can easily. Mess up that relationship, especially in its environment of canceling people, this cancer culture. Where. We have families, not even speaking because of this. so remember your policies and your own platforms. Is to not. Be triggered and fall into a trap and end up back in jail. So that's a research, again, check the platforms and policies of the candidate. As well as your own. Policies as well in line things up. And make sure. That you're looking at everything and gathered all the information. Number two is talking with God. That is praying and talking to him about how to vote. Okay, this is part of the process for believers. In that is always bringing everything to God and asking for. What he would like. You to do. I know some people may not believe in God, how you process things will be different. But this is still part of the principles of. How to win an election is doing your research and actually going back and looking at that research for those who believe in God. And understand that you belong to him and you want him involved in everything. This is the time where you would bring that information to him. And ask Ken. For help on deciding what to do. We should be doing that because. Is so much deception. It's very hard to know what is true and what is not. Honestly, praying. And going to God and asking him to help you. Look over this information and come to the truth. If you honestly ask him. He will lead you to the truth. And we need God more than anything right now, Because it is so many lies. Going to God's word. He talks about this. It's in Proverbs chapter three, verse six. It says in all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths. So in this situation here. You can change the word paths to volt. And it was say, and he shell direct die vote. This leads us to the last item, which is. The vote. Now we already talked about one, doing your research. Two. Going to God and having him direct you. And now three is the vote. Now I understand a lot of people that have gotten out of prison. Have not received back their rights to vote because they're still on paper. I know from talking to some of them, some of them do feel upset about it, or just a little sad about it. But I have found someone who actually. Is still looking at the positive side and this is the best way to look at it. He was focusing on. Being thankful because he understood, it was only by the grace of God that he was out in the first place. To actually focus on something that he could not do yet. Was something foolish and he understood that. It's so many times that we, as humans, we focus on what we don't have instead of being thankful and appreciating what we do have. So I say this to say, This is an excellent way to look at this. If you do not have the rights to vote yet to really just look at all the things you. I have and be thankful and be appreciative for it because this will give you the bright attitude and will keep you from having this hostile. Temperament which can lead you. Into trouble. You can easily get triggered in this environment now because it's very divisive and very hostile. A good way of thinking about this. When someone is talking to you about voting and you cannot vote. Talk to them about. Hey, I'm just thankful on my out. And That you are voting, you're voting for yourself. Remember your own campaign, to keep your head straight. Don't get triggered, by this environment. Remember why you are out, you are out to help your family, keep your family together, keep your freedom and get to all the dreams that you had. So Volvo for that. Think about that's what you casting your vote for. Also just, even if you can't vote. You still need to know what's going on because people will bring up these conversations. And you really should be involved in, this is how you can be involved, even though you don't vote. Now we went over all. The steps one, do your research to. Take that research and pray. In acts God, how to vote, how to look at these things too. Get through the lies. And three. Votes. Again, if you can't vote physically, make sure you vote for yourself because you are elected in your own family. To keep the peace to keep unity. Making sure your family is taken care of Secure. These are all things that you should take into account in your own family. And this is why you need to be looking at these policies. In both of these candidates. Going to God about it and praying. To God on which way to take, and also just praying for each of the candidates and praying for our whole country, because this is where we live. Pray for. Piece that there's no violence. Because right now, It is very hostile, very toxic and very, very divisive. Come out. In be the peacemakers. Show the character that you have, it doesn't matter if you've been locked up or not. Because we see people coming out and act in light, complete fools. And they've never stepped foot in a jail before, but to see them now, you're wondering how did they escape it? When you hear this divisive rhetoric, pray for these people. And understand that they don't understand that they are contributing to the violence. You bring in the piece, you pray for it. No. This isn't a Storic moment. We are voting for. The president of the United States, which is the leader of the free world, but. We know it's God who puts in place leaders and take some down. Just look at Romans 13. It says, Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power, but of God. The powers that be. Are ordained of God. It means. He is in charge. He is the one that puts people in place. It also means he has a plan. And he's going according to plan. Now. don't think that your vote doesn't count because you still play a part, even though you're not in charge. In this goals for everyone everyone will give an account of what they've done. That includes each and every leader. Well, that's it for today. Thank you for listening. And may you have a weak field with blessings?
