I'm forwarding this for the sake of our country and land...
Calling all Christians to prayer at least ONE MINUTE NIGHTLY:
With God all things are possible:
Do you believe we can take God at His word, call upon His name, then stand back and watch His wonders unfold? This scripture gives Christians, ownership of this land and the ability to call upon God to heal it. I challenge you to do that.
II Chronicles 7:14: 'If my people, which are called by my name shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.'
During WWII, there was an advisor to Churchill, who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every night at a prescribed hour for one minute, to collectively pray for the safety of England, its people and peace. This had an amazing effect, as bombing stopped.
There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America.
The United States of America, and our citizens, need prayer more than ever!!! If you would like to participate, each evening at 9:00 P.M. Eastern Time (8 PM Central, 7 PM Mountain, 6 PM Pacific), stop whatever you're doing, and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States, our troops, our citizens, for peace in the world, the upcoming election, that the Bible will remain the basis for the laws governing our land, and that Christianity will grow in the U.S.
Someone said if people really understood the full extent of the power we have available through prayer, we might be speechless. Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have. Thank you.
Please pass this on.
I’ll pray! Elijah List has a good prophetic article about praying on October 29th for our economic system and Wall Street. It’s the anniversary of the Crash and beginning of the Depression. It’s a good one with prayers added. I hope you’ll get it and pray it.
I’ll commit to praying each night at 9:00 p.m. If we all get on our knees, we will see a change, and God will make a difference!

Interesting... I was thinking of Churchill’s addresses to the British just today. “upon this battle depends the entire course of Western Civilization.” (paraphrased from memory, sorry if not 100%) I will pray.
I am a Christian , but I believe God has left us to our own devices . He is NOT going to save us from Obama . We are going to get what the majority want .
Already am!
We need to always remember also that we have an intercessor who is always there for us. As well as our comforter the Holy Spirit. Romans 8:26, Ephesians 2:18, Romans 8:34
Ever hear the phrase “stinkin thinkin” or “what you think about you bring about”?
Don’t get all Muslim on me.
ALWAYS there for us ? US meaning USA ? Give me a break .
Scripture is contrary to what you are saying.
Romans 13:1 “Everyone must submit to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those that exist are instituted by God.”-HCSB™.
Further, under Nero, Paul wrote:
1 Timothy 2:1-4 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
So, it is clear
1) God is in control of who is instituted as a leader in any arena and can shape and influence wills according to His plan
2)We should pray for leaders and those who are in authority that we may live peaceful lives
Since we must pray, we might as well pray for repentance for our nation and mercy in terms of the election. God is gracious. Perhaps He will be gracious to us again.
Just put the sake down and let the thread have a moment in prayer. Don’t say GOD has left us on a prayer thread.
You’ll be ok.....
Later-in-the-day prayer thread ping!
You may not believe this, but don't you dare mock those of us who do...
Amen will do.

Hope I can remember each night, 8pm CT.
So you’re a Deist?
Thank you. I will be praying, too.
I think this is an excellent idea! I’ll pray at 11:00 each night. Lately I’ve felt the need to pray more often, especially given the dark dark days we will face in November if Obama is elected.
Pray for our troops.
Pray for President Bush (even if we are all furious at him right now).
Pray for the American people that their eyes will be opened and they will truly see Obama for what he truly is.
Pray for John McCain, that he will be given strength and clarity to expose Obama.
Pray for our nation, that God will continue to bless us and protect us.
Pray for your families and friends.
God has not left us, nor will He.
Thank you. I will.
