Praying For God To Call Out Intercessors For Our Nation

[Jo Nuvark]

“For I know the plans that I have for you,” declares
the LORD, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to
give you a future and a hope. ‘Then you will call upon
Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
“You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me
with all your heart...” (Jeremish 29:11-13)

[Jo Nuvark]

Jeremish = Jeremiah

...Sheesh!

Prayer bump

[Proudcongal]

Thank you for the ping. Count me in for prayer. I have never seen so many people standing in prayer for our nation as I have this election. I know God will hear our prayers and intervene! Praise the Lord!

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Yes, amen - bump.

[Alamo-Girl]

I am joined in this prayer!

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Thank you, Alamo-Girl - prayer bump!

God is ever faithful. He hungers for His children’s earnest prayer. He loves each one though we break His Heart with our sin. How can we do that when He sent His only begotten Son to lead the Way, and to die to pay for our sins?

We must repent of abortion, homosexuality, rape and murder; of lying and thieving; of causing hurt and our many selfish acts. Then we must turn from our sins and invite the Lord into our hearts, and pray that we become like Him.

That doesn’t mean we roll over when attacked, and we are being attacked! That means, as Christ did to the money changers in the temple, we must stand up and fight for what we know is right. We must carefully weigh what should be and what should not be, and do something about it.

In God we trust, and as we are His arms and legs, it is up to us to keep Him in the center of our lives, private and public. The Bible is our Instruction Book. Read it.

To simplify, where do we stand, on the side of good, or on the side of evil in these perilous times?

Amen and Amen to that!!

What I am so encouraged about on this election is that the Holy Spirit has pricked people’s hearts to pray for this country and this election. I believe God is going to intercede in this election and we are going to see His mighty power work in a huge way. I will be praying and I really believe we need to have 21 days of fasting and praying before this election.

I was very dismayed when, recently, a brother in Christ who is an African American said he supports Obama for the Presidency. How can someone be so deceived??? Why are we Christians settling and not issuing a battle cry and falling to our knees and taking our country back? We allow ourselves to be stripped of the right to pray at school functions and in school, we have the 10 commandments removed from government places and are told we cannot pray in school, all the while providing public prayer places for Muslims. What in the world is going on and why are we being apathetic? Why aren’t we praying? Our God is a mighty God who is waiting patiently for us to raise our voices to heaven to stop the tide of the anti-Christ actions in our world today. Now we find we have a charismatic candidate for president who does not respect our flag and refuses to wear one on his lapel except when it becomes politically expedient and whose own wife and pastor that he loves profess to have strong anti-white feelings, and we sit back and say ‘it is a given, we can do nothing.’ There has never been a time in 2000 years that we can do nothing, never a time that we must sit back and allow the evil in men’s and women’s hearts to take over our world. We should be very afraid because our apathy is leading us to perdition.

It is time for all Christian Americans to raise the battle cry and take our nation back. Maybe McCain on his own cannot defeat Obama, but our God can and He will if we take to our knees in prayer and raise a mighty cry to the heavens to ‘Save us O Lord.’ We have the power to change the course of this election and to keep a man as suspect as Barak Obama from leading our country to who knows where with his message of ‘change’ - a change which I fear will be away from our Christian ideals and away from Christ and further away from one nation under God to one nation under Allah.

We are great at passing stories and pictures around the internet, but where are our prayers and prayer warriors praying to stop this tide of Barak Obama? God parted the red sea, Jesus raised himself from the dead, and we can bring our country back to its Christian roots and stop the move to the rise of Muslims in our country. We can stop our country from being ‘under Allah,’ but we must begin to pray, to pray as if our country and our lives depended on it, because they do. We can stop all these atrocities against God’s commands that have taken root in our country through something as simple as sincere prayer, a call to God to deliver us, to forgive us our sins of apathy and to protect us from the evil that is upon us.

Okay prayer warriors, here is your challenge, start those prayer chains. Get the spiritual power working on our behalf and stop Barak Obama the proper way, by calling on our God to save us from the deception that charismatic preaching is using to lead us on the wrong path. Stop those who would take God out of our country and our government. Raise up good men to lead us and protect us. George Bush is being buffeted because he has fought a holy war against the evils that attack us and we should not be surprised because a prophet is not honored in his own country. But we should not rest on our laurels and allow ourselves to be taken further off the path of Christianity and to have God removed from our presence in our schools, courts, government and businesses. Invite God into the fray. Ask that His power rest upon us and give us the victory. Ask him to raise up a might army to defend us and to protect our country as he did in days of old. Let us be victorious beginning NOW. The battle is His but we must call on Him without ceasing and unite our voices and hearts in prayer and fasting.

Please get believers in Christ to pray. Especially in these last days until the election.

Great article. Thank you.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Absolutely correct!

Calling all praying Christians! Now is the time to come to the aid of your country, your nation, your people. God is not surprised by all that is happening but asks that we pray, that His People PRAY!

As you say = as if our lives depend on it because they do!

thanks for the good post. You have the gift of exhortation! Keep using it!

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

You are very welcome - please connect others to the post.

Encouragers needed! Prayer warriors required.

Earnest, humble prayer is the answer!

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Amen, prayer warrior bump.

[taraytarah]

Thanks, FWI. I'm praying and have been thinking about getting a community group together to do the same. This is great encouragement to do so.

This is spiritual warfare.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Please do gather as many praying Christians together as you can and meet regularly for prayer - even if it is a time you agree to pray together in your own homes. If you can gather into one place and pray, even the better.

Am asking this of my own church prayer groups.

Bishops Ask Catholics To Pray Election Novena

WASHINGTON—The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) invites U.S. Catholics to pray before the November election a novena for life, justice, and peace called Novena for Faithful Citizenship. It is a podcast and available for download.

Joan Rosenhauer, Associate Director for the USCCB’s Department of Justice, Peace and Human Development, said that the special novena is part of “the bishops’ campaign to help Catholics develop well-formed consciences for addressing political and social questions.” The bishops issued their statement on forming consciences for faithful citizenship in November 2007.

Helen Osman, USCCB Secretary of Communications, expressed hope that the novena could help “Catholics enter into prayerful reflection as they prepare to vote.” Seventy-one percent of all visitors to the USCCB’s web site download the free podcasts of the daily NAB readings. These same visitors are encouraged to use the novena podcast for prayer. Osman said that the USCCB wants to support Catholics as they weigh pre-election issues and that “providing a prayer resource on the Web can help us focus on our common values and identity as Catholics.” The novena emphasizes the dignity of life, justice, and peace.

The Novena for Faithful Citizenship runs for nine days and can be used consecutively, one day each week, for nine days prior to the election, or “in any way that works best for a community or individual,” said Rosenhauer.

The novena will be available for download until the election and it can be downloaded online at http://www.faithfulcitizenship.org/resources/podcasts.
