How should Christians determine which candidate to vote for?
A guest document by Ricardo de Valencia
INTRODUCTION
This was originally a letter responding to a family member who asked us for information to help her meditate about her vote for the November 5, 2024 U.S. elections. Containing no personal details, we share it with all our readers.
As our regular readers already know, we are not aligned with any party or political agenda. Our only purpose is tho serve God and not man. When we talk politics, it is when Caesar behaves as if he were God, or when the supposed representatives of God conspire with Caesar to achieve their worldly goals.
DETAILS
Regarding the difficult choice of who to vote for, in general, you may be interested in the document written by miguel de Portugal in 2004: How Should Catholics Determine Which Candidate to Vote For?
If you do not like any of the political options in the upcoming elections in USA (which is very logical, given the current scenario), and you have no specific inspiration in this regard, we recommend you to choose the one you dislike the least while asking God to neutralize the effect of your vote if it goes against His Most Holy and Adorable Will. It is that simple.
If you make the “wrong” vote but have sincerely deferred to God's Will, nothing will have been lost, because the value of your offering, your will and your sincere prayers serve Him as “currency” to intervene in the world in the best way He deems best, which is not limited to a certain political outcome.
You can think in terms of “which do you think would be the political choice that will cause the least harm”, because either of the two dominant choices/parties in the upcoming election will cause harm to the United States and the world. As we see it, it's about reducing the severity of the harm that cannot be avoided.
The World Masters are determined to bring about a New World Order (a “globalization”, in more current words) to save the world, but that is to arrogate to themselves a power that only God has. And He will not save the world by political means, but will save His Elect from among the world in the manner that is foretold in the Scriptures.
Currently, the World Masters are divided, each faction with its version / plan of “globalization” (world dictatorship) and this division is currently aligned with the political left and right. If God did not prevent it, the political left would lead us to a world dictatorship of atheistic character and the political right to a world dictatorship of theocratic character.
The upcoming elections are about the choice between two versions of these two currents that have so far been mitigated by God. At this point, which one will cause the least harm? We do not know. What might have been the best option four years ago, or eight years ago, might not be the best option now, but we don't which will be the lesser evil now. He does. We pray that the outcome will be according to God's Active Will.
Think that, although the victory of one of the dominant political sides may be the option “preferred” by God (in the sense that it will be the option that will cause the least harm to His Elect at this moment), He may inspire (or allow) a part of His Elect to vote in the opposite direction, so that not only the victory of the option “preferred” by Him will be obtained but, also, this will happen with the “correct” proportion of votes – correct in the same sense: the one that will cause the least harm to His Elect.
This last point is especially valid in these elections, in which the two dominant parties will be tempted to manipulate the results and, depending on the proportion of votes, the manipulation will be more or less evident, and a civil confrontation of greater or lesser magnitude may arise (or be provoked).
The matter of the ratio of votes is just an example of how He would take advantage of your “error” in voting. The most important, after your focused prayers, is your sincere and prayerful desire to serve Him in your act of voting, so that you will be cooperating with His Active Will, no matter the outcome of the elections.
