Speaker: 00:00:18

Hello everyone.

2

: 00:00:19

And welcome to a prisoners part in

podcasts with me, your hosts, Michi, J.

3

: 00:00:24

What an incredible week we are going into,

this is the week of November the fourth.

4

: 00:00:33

To Morrow, which is Tuesday,

we will be voting for the next

5

: 00:00:38

president of the United States.

6

: 00:00:41

This will be the 2024

presidential election.

7

: 00:00:46

And I know like many of you.

8

: 00:00:49

We are ready for it in.

9

: 00:00:52

Plus we want to win.

10

: 00:00:54

So I want to talk to you about how to

win the 20, 24 presidential election.

11

: 00:01:02

How do you do that?

12

: 00:01:04

You do it.

13

: 00:01:05

Three ways.

14

: 00:01:07

One, you do your research.

15

: 00:01:10

Too.

16

: 00:01:12

You talk to God and pray to God.

17

: 00:01:15

With that information on how to vote.

18

: 00:01:18

And three, your vote.

19

: 00:01:20

Okay, let's get into this.

20

: 00:01:23

Doing your research is number one.

21

: 00:01:26

This is so important because.

22

: 00:01:30

How would, you know,

What you working with?

23

: 00:01:34

Unless you do your research.

24

: 00:01:38

You look at the policies

and the platforms.

25

: 00:01:41

And you see what the

candidate is talking about.

26

: 00:01:45

In what they want.

27

: 00:01:46

And you also make sure you

check your platform and your

28

: 00:01:50

policies as say this because.

29

: 00:01:53

You may.

30

: 00:01:55

Be one of those who have

just come out of jail.

31

: 00:02:00

One is stay out or you've been

out a while and want to stay out.

32

: 00:02:04

It doesn't matter.

33

: 00:02:05

One of your policies

would be staying that way.

34

: 00:02:08

You have to maintain your freedom.

35

: 00:02:11

the atmosphere is toxic.

36

: 00:02:14

And it has gotten many people in trouble.

37

: 00:02:18

They are committing crimes like.

38

: 00:02:20

Voter fraud.

39

: 00:02:22

Going on to people's

property in destroying it.

40

: 00:02:27

And also they are getting into heated

arguments, which leads to fight.

41

: 00:02:33

All of these are felonies.

42

: 00:02:35

Which can lead you right back to jail.

43

: 00:02:40

Another policy would be two.

44

: 00:02:43

Keep healthy relationships.

45

: 00:02:46

You want to not wreck the

relationships you've already.

46

: 00:02:52

Fixed Talking politics can easily.

47

: 00:02:58

Mess up that relationship, especially

in its environment of canceling

48

: 00:03:03

people, this cancer culture.

49

: 00:03:05

Where.

50

: 00:03:07

We have families, not even

speaking because of this.

51

: 00:03:10

so remember your policies

and your own platforms.

52

: 00:03:14

Is to not.

53

: 00:03:16

Be triggered and fall into a

trap and end up back in jail.

54

: 00:03:23

So that's a research, again, check the

platforms and policies of the candidate.

55

: 00:03:30

As well as your own.

56

: 00:03:32

Policies as well in line things up.

57

: 00:03:35

And make sure.

58

: 00:03:37

That you're looking at everything

and gathered all the information.

59

: 00:03:41

Number two is talking with God.

60

: 00:03:44

That is praying and talking

to him about how to vote.

61

: 00:03:48

Okay, this is part of the

process for believers.

62

: 00:03:52

In that is always bringing

everything to God and asking for.

63

: 00:03:58

What he would like.

64

: 00:03:59

You to do.

65

: 00:04:01

I know some people may not believe in God,

how you process things will be different.

66

: 00:04:05

But this is still part

of the principles of.

67

: 00:04:10

How to win an election is doing

your research and actually going

68

: 00:04:14

back and looking at that research

for those who believe in God.

69

: 00:04:18

And understand that you belong to him

and you want him involved in everything.

70

: 00:04:23

This is the time where you would

bring that information to him.

71

: 00:04:27

And ask Ken.

72

: 00:04:28

For help on deciding what to do.

73

: 00:04:30

We should be doing that because.

74

: 00:04:33

Is so much deception.

75

: 00:04:35

It's very hard to know what

is true and what is not.

76

: 00:04:38

Honestly, praying.

77

: 00:04:41

And going to God and

asking him to help you.

78

: 00:04:46

Look over this information

and come to the truth.

79

: 00:04:49

If you honestly ask him.

80

: 00:04:51

He will lead you to the truth.

81

: 00:04:54

And we need God more than anything

right now, . Because it is so many lies.

82

: 00:05:02

Going to God's word.

83

: 00:05:03

He talks about this.

84

: 00:05:06

It's in Proverbs chapter three, verse six.

85

: 00:05:11

It says in all thy ways acknowledge

him and he shall direct thy paths.

86

: 00:05:18

So in this situation here.

87

: 00:05:20

You can change the word paths to volt.

88

: 00:05:25

And it was say, and he

shell direct die vote.

89

: 00:05:31

This leads us to the last item, which is.

90

: 00:05:35

The vote.

91

: 00:05:36

Now we already talked about

one, doing your research.

92

: 00:05:41

Two.

93

: 00:05:42

Going to God and having him direct you.

94

: 00:05:46

And now three is the vote.

95

: 00:05:50

Now I understand a lot of people

that have gotten out of prison.

96

: 00:05:56

Have not received back their rights to

vote because they're still on paper.

97

: 00:06:01

I know from talking to some of them,

some of them do feel upset about

98

: 00:06:06

it, or just a little sad about it.

99

: 00:06:09

But I have found someone who actually.

100

: 00:06:12

Is still looking at the positive side

and this is the best way to look at it.

101

: 00:06:19

He was focusing on.

102

: 00:06:21

Being thankful because he understood,

it was only by the grace of God

103

: 00:06:26

that he was out in the first place.

104

: 00:06:29

To actually focus on something

that he could not do yet.

105

: 00:06:34

Was something foolish

and he understood that.

106

: 00:06:38

It's so many times that we, as

humans, we focus on what we don't

107

: 00:06:43

have instead of being thankful

and appreciating what we do have.

108

: 00:06:48

So I say this to say, This is an

excellent way to look at this.

109

: 00:06:53

If you do not have the rights to vote yet

to really just look at all the things you.

110

: 00:07:01

I have and be thankful and be

appreciative for it because this will

111

: 00:07:06

give you the bright attitude and will

keep you from having this hostile.

112

: 00:07:12

Temperament which can lead you.

113

: 00:07:15

Into trouble.

114

: 00:07:17

You can easily get triggered in

this environment now because it's

115

: 00:07:20

very divisive and very hostile.

116

: 00:07:24

A good way of thinking about this.

117

: 00:07:26

When someone is talking to you

about voting and you cannot vote.

118

: 00:07:32

Talk to them about.

119

: 00:07:34

Hey, I'm just thankful on my out.

120

: 00:07:36

And . That you are voting,

you're voting for yourself.

121

: 00:07:41

Remember your own campaign,

to keep your head straight.

122

: 00:07:46

Don't get triggered, , by

this environment.

123

: 00:07:50

Remember why you are out, you are

out to help your family, keep your

124

: 00:07:56

family together, keep your freedom and

get to all the dreams that you had.

125

: 00:08:01

So Volvo for that.

126

: 00:08:03

Think about that's what

you casting your vote for.

127

: 00:08:07

Also just, even if you can't vote.

128

: 00:08:10

You still need to know what's

going on because people will

129

: 00:08:15

bring up these conversations.

130

: 00:08:17

And you really should be involved

in, this is how you can be involved,

131

: 00:08:22

even though you don't vote.

132

: 00:08:24

Now we went over all.

133

: 00:08:27

The steps one, do your research to.

134

: 00:08:31

Take that research and pray.

135

: 00:08:33

In acts God, how to vote, how

to look at these things too.

136

: 00:08:39

Get through the lies.

137

: 00:08:41

And three.

138

: 00:08:43

Votes.

139

: 00:08:45

Again, if you can't vote physically,

make sure you vote for yourself because

140

: 00:08:50

you are elected in your own family.

141

: 00:08:53

To keep the peace to keep unity.

142

: 00:08:56

Making sure your family

is taken care of . Secure.

143

: 00:08:59

These are all things that you should

take into account in your own family.

144

: 00:09:04

And this is why you need to

be looking at these policies.

145

: 00:09:08

In both of these candidates.

146

: 00:09:10

Going to God about it and praying.

147

: 00:09:12

To God on which way to take, and

also just praying for each of the

148

: 00:09:16

candidates and praying for our whole

country, because this is where we live.

149

: 00:09:22

Pray for.

150

: 00:09:23

Piece that there's no violence.

151

: 00:09:26

Because right now, It is very hostile,

very toxic and very, very divisive.

152

: 00:09:33

Come out.

153

: 00:09:34

In be the peacemakers.

154

: 00:09:37

Show the character that you

have, it doesn't matter if

155

: 00:09:40

you've been locked up or not.

156

: 00:09:41

Because we see people coming out

and act in light, complete fools.

157

: 00:09:46

And they've never stepped foot in

a jail before, but to see them now,

158

: 00:09:51

you're wondering how did they escape it?

159

: 00:09:54

When you hear this divisive

rhetoric, pray for these people.

160

: 00:09:58

And understand that they

don't understand that they are

161

: 00:10:02

contributing to the violence.

162

: 00:10:05

You bring in the piece, you pray for it.

163

: 00:10:08

No.

164

: 00:10:10

This isn't a Storic moment.

165

: 00:10:12

We are voting for.

166

: 00:10:14

The president of the United States, which

is the leader of the free world, but.

167

: 00:10:20

We know it's God who puts in

place leaders and take some down.

168

: 00:10:25

Just look at Romans 13.

169

: 00:10:28

It says, ,. Let every soul be

subject unto the higher powers.

170

: 00:10:33

For there is no power, but of God.

171

: 00:10:37

The powers that be.

172

: 00:10:39

Are ordained of God.

173

: 00:10:41

It means.

174

: 00:10:43

He is in charge.

175

: 00:10:44

He is the one that puts people in place.

176

: 00:10:48

It also means he has a plan.

177

: 00:10:51

And he's going according to plan.

178

: 00:10:54

Now.

179

: 00:10:54

don't think that your vote doesn't

count because you still play a part,

180

: 00:11:01

even though you're not in charge.

181

: 00:11:04

In this goals for everyone everyone will

give an account of what they've done.

182

: 00:11:09

That includes each and every leader.

183

: 00:11:13

Well, that's it for today.

184

: 00:11:15

Thank you for listening.

185

: 00:11:16

And may you have a weak

field with blessings?
