John 16:33 AMP
I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]

Jesus was and is always trying to prepare His people to be in the best position and mindset possible to navigate the waters we will encounter.

Kingdom over everything…

• As citizens of Heaven, our goal is to see and hear what God sees and hears.
  

Hebrews 12:28-29
Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, 29 for our God is a consuming fire.

2 Chronicles 7:12-16
12 Then the Lord appeared to Solomon in the night and said to him: “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a house of sacrifice. 13 When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send pestilence among my people, 14 if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayer that is made in this place. 16 For now I have chosen and consecrated this house that my name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will be there for all time.

God always has a place and a people where He sends His blessings on.

1 Peter 2:5
5 you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. you and I are the temple.

Proverbs 14:34.
Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.

How to navigate this Political Season.

Pray Passionately

James 5:16
Therefore, confess your sins to one another [your false steps, your offenses], and pray for one another, that you may be healed and restored. The heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) can accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God—it is dynamic and can have tremendous power].

Prepare Civically.

4- How can we stay rooted in Jesus and follow His lead during this current socio-cultural and political climate?

5- Regardless of our political stance, how can we stay Christlike and united with one another? With those whom we agree with, and those whom we disagree?
