Let us all join in with those praying for God's Hand to be revealed in this election cycle...recognizing, as did Patrick Henry over 230 years ago that God is indeed is involved in the affairs of man and nations, and as the Holy Scriptures themselves testify that He will indeed bless us if we turn to Him.
"We shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. " - Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775
"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." - God in Heave, II Chronicles 7:14
I submit, that God in Heaven has already raised up and brought forth one such friend and blessing. She is going across the width and breadth of this nation generating large crowd of enthused people of all creeds, faiths, races, and stripes who hold fast to the traditional American values and prinicples that made this nation what she is.
Many others, less known or visible to us are doing the same.
We must stand up and do our part in this election cycle, we must spread the word to all we know and come in contact with within our own spheres of influence, and then ask them to do the same regarding:
...and regarding the principle oppostion we, and she and John McCain face:
THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA
SARAH PALIN DRAWS HUGE CROWDS ACROSS THE NATION
SARAH PALIN - YOUR BEST FRIEND OR WORST ADVERSARY
...AND AS FOR BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.
Barack Obama has willfully associated with hateful extremists for years.
Barack Obama has openly shown his disdain and disrespect for America's symbols.
Barack Obama's election headquarters has proudly displayed abjectly marxists flags and symbols.
NOBAMA MOVEMENT SPREADS ACROSS THE NATION
Because He loves us...in spite of ourselves.
He has shown a willingness to, and if you will read the one scripture included in this post, He has promised to give said aid and healing if we but turn to Him.
I believe He keeps His promises if we do our part. That's why.
Very well said...God bless you for those words and that insight.
PRAYER BUMP
In Case Anyone on the thread missed this, I thought I would share...
There was a thread the other night that was aimed at re-creating the nightly national prayer time from back in WWII as Churchill suggested for Britain. People are praying at 9:00 Eastern Time for one-minute every night.
If you would like to join with everyone, please see this thread for more information: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2102892/posts
Amen...and the wisdon of the wise who fight against good shall thus be turned to foolishness.
I roger that and WILCO! Amen to that effort, may it spread nation wise and invoke the prayers and faith of tens of millions.
Amen, brother.
Yes, Conservatives, it probably will take an act of God to get John McCain to act like one of us.
I cannot believe that we are reduced to praying for political salvation, when all it would take is for the GOP to nominate a conservative.
Such is the state of conservatism, and religion today.
unbelievable.
This goes far beyond politics. We are praying for the preservation of our nation, our Republic, and all we hold dear. That is the sad state of affairs we face...and I believe if we turn to God and invoke His promoise, He will help.
That does not mean at all that we do not have to work and work hard to do our part. That has not changed and never will.
This is not 'just' and election or 'just' an economic crisis. There is a much greater struggle and much more at stake than a political office or a 401K. This is a battle that must be fought and won on our knees. Not before a party loyalty or a political philosophy, but before an awsome and righteous God.
I add my 'amen' to your prayer.
Thanks Jeff!
May we do our all, may we invoke God's Hand in humility and faith, recognizing and confessing our own weaknesses, and may we then, in our hard work, stand and watch the Hand of God be revealed and His purposes be accomplished.
...and may we have the faith to accept His will and continue to work in rightousness whatever it may be.
Cause without His mercy like that, we'd ALL be screwed.
Be grateful that God does not treat us as our sins deserve.
And with the way the GOP is going, it would take an act of God for them to nominate someone conservative. It's not as simple as it seems.
It goes way beyond political salvation; it's a matter of survival our nation and culture. A matter of survival, period. It goes deeper than you seem to realize.

Wonder ful pics. I pray that God is even interested in this election. Or is this His plan to end the world’s greatest nation??? I pray that we better stick with Him even if BHO gets elected because if this isn’t an End Times scenario, I don’t want to be around when another comes along!
Lord, we humbly seek Your Face, as we bow before Your Throne, and pray that Your hand of protection cover the country that You have blessed so many times before. We turn our faces toward You and ask for forgiveness for standing silently as Your precious children were slaughtered in the name of convenience, as Your holy union of marriage became a mockery, and as Your Holy Name has been blasphemed, abused and ridiculed, and used as profanity.
We need You, Lord. We need You to give us strength, wisdom, and patience. We need You to help us with our unbelief. We lay it all at the foot of the Cross, Lord. We surrender and submit to Your Will, as all Glory is Yours.
Lord, hear our prayer and our plea to deliver us from the evil that is permeating our land and our culture. Raise up the righteous and remove the scales from the eyes that do not see.
As nothing is too big or too small for You, we pray for intercession in our political process. Lord, if it be Your Will, please let the Truth shine a light on the wicked and the schemes of men be exposed, whatever they may be or wherever that may lead. As the darkness hates the light, let the Light of Heaven allow for no cover, and the truth be laid bare for all to see. Let everyone have eyes to see and discern from that which is evil.
You are God alone, and we praise You and love You, wholly and without condition. We are grateful for our blessings too numerous to count and thank You for Your Mighty Hand that has held this country in Its palm for so long.
Father, Abba, hear our prayer as we pray these things in Jesus’ Precious Name, Amen.
I try to pray daily for our nation and for a revival within our nation. I believe that we aren’t just in a war for our nation, but that our nation is in the midst of a great spiritual war. There is just too much evil seething from the left for there not to be. The utter hated for Sarah Palin, Obama’s thirst for infanticide, the MSM covering up Obama’s racist and terrorist buddies, and now Obama’s connection to Muslim riots against Christians in Kenya. I don’t look at this as merely politics.
May God have mercy on us and help us to win this battle and save our great nation!
