Christians: fast and pray, Fast and Pray, FAST AND PRAY for this election and for The USA!!!......

Again, I cannot stress the importance of fasting and praying for this election enough. All those who are Christians please fast and pray to do what is truly essential for the winning of this election, and also for the benefit of the good to come if He allows for us to win this election. The Bible clearly states that it is The LORD that raises up and also brings down rulers.

In The Bible whenever something was critically important for the survival and/or well being of the people of God the people prevailed when a time of fasting and praying was for called for, often for three whole days. When His people humbled themselves, confessed their sins and fasted and prayed The LORD was always moved to help them. He even saved Nineveh, which was horribly wicked, when the people, in fear of God, turned to Him with fasting and praying.

If one cannot fast and pray for three days, or even one, please at least skip a meal and dedicate that time to prayer alone.

God is able to turn the tide. I have been fasting and praying, won't you my sisters and brothers in Christ?

“Do not think that because you are in the king’s house you alone of all the Jews will escape. 14 For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”

15 Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai: 16 “Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my attendants will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish.”

17 So Mordecai went away and carried out all of Esther’s instructions.

My spirit tells me time is short..evil will flood this nation like nothing we have ever witnessed..we’re only getting a taste now..sometimes I think God is so fed up with the world that if he wasn’t long suffering he wouldve burn the damn place down!! The only way we’ll win this election is through divine intervention ...thats the only way ..THERE’S NO OTHER OUTLET...ZIP!! I too sorrow much because of my grandkids...I have one foot in the grave already so it’s not about me but my lovely grand babies. In reality we have no one else..but God and if he turns his back on us..we’re done!

Or do have to both?

"There will be powerful dark forces including many covens of witches sending dark energies against Trump."

They send out their stuff against Trump every day! It's our job to cancel and void it daily in response.

The only hope I have about my own grandchildren's future in the USA is that God would not have brought them into being had HE not intended for them to live....here....now... Strange destiny but maybe HE is creating stronger people to live through tougher times... For Lord, I am weary of this fight...and I have also become wreary... of the EVIL in the opposition. I am NOT a religious kook but one would have to be absolutely ignorant not to see what is afloat. Well, if the She-Devil wins, you can't fix stupid.

And God made the stupid people, too.....

Praying to God the Creator through His Son, Jesus, (The WAY, The TRUTH, & The LIFE) is always the best thing to do!

Of course we have to work to improve our situation.

But there’s only so much we can do in ourselves. So we do all we can, then we stand.

Fasting and prayer is a powerful combination. This is scriptural.

Pardon me if I seemed to be knocking the power of prayer. I pray everyday. In this case I only suggest it wont be enough.

Evey one that can pray should be praying today for Donald Trump and Mike Pence and for their families,

This is not against flesh and blood,

This is principalities and powers and they are becoming visible, Satan will install Hillary or Kaine into power unless the power of the Holy Spirit resists it.

Pray that God will rebuke their evil authority and let it become visible to even more believers during this next debate,
