In a message from Jonathan Cahn, he explains why voting in the 2024 election is crucial for the Christian and how our faith affects our voting decisions.

“We are on the eve of an election that will determine the direction of our nation,” says Cahn.
Cahn points out that just because we as people of faith are not of the world it does not mean that we do not have the power and the purpose to affect it, especially for the sake of the gospel.
“Light acts upon everything around it, so we are called to be the light, active agents on everything around us,” says Cahn. “America was founded by believers who didn’t want to be corrupted by the world, so they left the old world.”

Cahn notes that even in Scripture, Moses was immediately put into the political realm the moment he entered Pharaoh’s palace. David, Elijah, Jeremiah, Esther and Nehemiah are other examples of great heroes of faith who also found themselves in similar situations in order to do what God had called them for.
“They all spoke to what was happening, all in their own day. The key is not to separate from the world, but separate from the world’s darkness,” says Cahn. “We are to touch the political realm without being touched by it, to touch the culture without being touched by the culture.“
The darkness that we see surrounding our culture is something we cannot ignore. If we are called to be the light of the world, then we need to get involved. Not to become like the world, but to shed the light to those who are trapped in the filth of the world.
“There already is darkness encroaching our culture. The darkness that kills children in their mother’s womb, the darkness that confuses and mutilates other children, the darkness that says what you can’t say and what you can…” he continues.
Voting is one of the easiest ways that Christians can shine light on the darkness around us, however, as Cahn points out, there are millions who refuse to do so.
“If we are the light of the world, then we are the light of America. And if you’re in a room, and the room is getting progressively darker and darker, you’ve got to ask, ‘What’s happened to the light?'”
