Most of us are not poll watchers, election lawyers, or elected officials. We've already voted. There is not much left to do while we wait but pray for our country.
Democrats and the media are trying to fulfill their promise to win the 2020 election through litigation instead of votes. Most of us are not poll watchers, election lawyers, or elected officials. We’ve already voted. There is not much left to do while we wait but to pray for our country. So those of us who do pray should all be doing that.
Here are six ways to pray for our country right now, followed by three ways to practically help the nation we love during what is likely to become another bitter fight.
Many of us feel like those who differ from us politically are our enemies. Right now, I’m going to sideline that worthy argument to remind readers that Christians are commanded to pray for even evil people, even those who hate us, and even those who persecute us. If Christ could pray and die on behalf of people who tortured him to death and likewise torture his children to death, we can also pray that we learn to love our enemies and that those we feel are our enemies would be mercifully called to repentance.
We can also pray for the reconciliation that flows from repentance to be spread abroad in our land. There is no reconciliation without repentance, and we all are sinners and have lots to repent for. We have not loved our neighbors as we ought. We have trusted in men above God. We have fallen short of charitable thoughts and deeds.
It is always the right time to see one’s own sins and ask God to forgive them, and now it is especially pertinent as we remember all the evil, bitterness, and vitriol our nation is enduring and is likely to continue to endure as this election and its results remain to be seen.
We all should be able to pray that God will uncover all corruption and evil, bring all misdeeds to light so they can be judged and ended, no matter whose party it comes from or hurts. “Deliver us from evil.”
We have just seen an election with the largest turnout in nearly a century. That election is obviously very close. The nation is clearly deeply divided, between states, regions, even neighborhoods. Many of those close to us believe deeply in very different things. We all need to learn to love our neighbors, and we can and should ask God to help us all do so.
It is the right thing to desire for right to prevail. Even if the truth about the election is painful, we need to know what it is and reckon with reality. Pray for truth to win, no matter whether and who it initially hurts to learn what the truth is. Ultimately, truth is healing, and it is necessary.
At the origin of our country, Founding Father Benjamin Franklin said:
The longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth- that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid? We have been assured, Sir, in the sacred writings, that ‘except the Lord build the House they labour in vain that build it.’ I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without his concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better than the Builders of Babel: We shall be divided by our little partial local interests; our projects will be confounded, and we ourselves shall become a reproach and bye word down to future ages. And what is worse, mankind may hereafter from this unfortunate instance, despair of establishing Governments be Human Wisdom and leave it to chance, war and conquest.
No ruler gets power without God allowing it. Sometimes he allows evil rulers to chastise the people, to bring them to repentance. We do not fully understand what God is doing in all circumstances, great and small, but we can pray with Christ in the Lord’s Prayer that His will be done in us, and in our country.
Nothing is accomplished by spending our hours in anxiety and worry, checking Twitter and all the other feeds constantly while events we cannot control proceed. I don’t believe waiting must be passive, I believe it can be active, receptive, and fruitful. Here are some recommendations I am going to follow today.
You have responsibilities to other people today — to your boss, to your family, to your church, to your friends, to your community. Fulfill them to the best of your ability. Do your faith and nation proud in your excellence in service to others.
In addition to praying for those whose needs come before you, seek ways to serve them. As part of repentance, perhaps you have thought of people you have failed to love. Is there a single mom who could use a car tune-up or some free babysitting? Did someone you know just have a baby and you failed to support them with a meal or gift? Is an elderly neighbor or relative lonely in COVID isolation today? Address it.
A lot of crazy things may be said in the coming weeks. A lot of true things that may sound crazy may be said. A huge majority of Americans believes the media lies to them, and it is true. So stop listening to them. Don’t waste time refreshing Twitter constantly, or keeping the news on all day marinating your head in conjecture, lies, and hysteria. Use that time instead to serve others.
Perhaps set a timer or alarm at a good time in the day for 15-20 minutes to check up on direct and reliable sources. When the timer goes off, get on with your life. And keep praying. “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.”
Yay. All of the above.
Yes to all of the above.
Thank you for this post.
Some range time might not be a bad idea as well.
Yeah, ‘cause all that worked so well yesterday.
(insert eyeroll here)
Buy a half gallon of chocolate low fat ice cream.
Wonderful post, thank you!
I’m praying but also going shopping before my money gets taken away to help some poor, never worked slob.
I prefer Talenti coconut gelato instead.
Found some leftover Halloween candy at the grocery store yesterday, 70% off. That helped too.
Please join us in binding and loosing, speaking the below out loud to the unseen world, speaking to our enemies in the gate, putting them to derision as in Ps2. Binding and loosing has a large effect, especially done regularly. Thank you. A sibling in Christ.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Time to Bind and Loose - Mt 18:18 and 16:19 and Luke 10:19
Do not be discouraged. Now is the time.
Galatians 6:9
“ And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
Do not faint. Bind and Loose. Out Loud. Speak to our enemies in the gate. In Derision - Psalm 2. Speak the below out loud. Bind the spirits of FRAUD. Loose the Spirits of Truth.
DO NOT FALTER NOW.
BINDING & LOOSING
In the Name of Jesus Christ, WE bind the rulers, the strongmen, doorkeepers and all connected, related and resulting demons of ELECTION FRAUD, FALSE WEIGHTS AND MEASURES, witchcraft, Satan worship, human and animal sacrifice, black magic, witchcraft control, mind control, mind occult and the occult of, over, in and working in and through:
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND each and every state, territory, possession, parish, borough, ward, reservation, county, city, township, suburb, street, neighborhood, block, home and church. AND EVERY ELECTORAL MACHINE AND VOTE COUNTING PERSON AND ENTITY.
ESPECIALLY THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, WHICH IS NOT A PART OF ANYTHING PREVIOUSLY NAMED.
PLUS EVERY POLLING STATION, USPS STATION AND EMPLOYEE, AND ALL POLL WATCHERS, ELECTORAL WORKERS, COUNTERS, AND ALL IN AUTHORITY OVER SAME.
AND MOST ESPECIALLY, ALL PERSONS AND ALL ENTITIES HAVING ANYTHING TO DO WITH MASS MEDIA OF ANY SORT: TELEVISION, NEWSPAPERS, AND SOCIAL MEDIA.
we loose, in the name of Jesus, upon and into all of Satan’s children, partaking
of and planning these wicked and evil practices, the spirits of:
Confusion, Forgetfulness, Destruction; also spirits of Salvation, Adoption as Children of God (Romans 8:15) and Deliverance.
We LOOSE the SPIRIT OF TRUTH OVER AND INTO EVERY GOVERNMENT AGENCY, POLITICAL ORGANISATION, ELECTORAL REPORTING AGENCY, REPORTER, NEWS BUREAU, NEWS REPORTING AGENCY, SOCIAL MEDIA PERPETRATOR, AND TALKING HEAD, ALONG WITH ALL PUBLICITY PERSONS AND ENTITIES AND COMPANIES, THAT THEY TELL THE TRUTH, OVER THE AIR AND ELECTRONICALLY AND ON PAPER, WHETHER THEY MEAN TO DO SO OR NOT.
We loose submission upon those our enemies. We loose salvation and deliverance upon our enemies. Save them, Lord.
we ask You, Father, to put a special covering of angels over each ceremony, coven, witch and warlock,
SPECIFICALLY INCLUDING ALL THOSE PLANNING AND PERPETRATING ELECTORAL FRAUD AND SEDITION, so that no curse or demon can emerge or be sent.
In the Name of Jesus, we return to the senders all curses, vexes, hexes, spells and demons that they have already or will attempt to send out, especially all those having to do with fraud or false weights.
Father, WE ask You to send special angels to protect (Exodus 8:22, 23), hide and put a hedge around (Job 1:10; Hosea 2:6) all your children who are in law enforcement and the armed forces; and all people and laws that would be sought out to be sacrificed or to be cursed, and all who are sounding the alarm and calling out and exposing evil.
May we do Your will today, O Lord God Almighty.
In Jesus’ Name, amen.
Thanks for posting.
I’ll be planting the last of 450 daffodil bulbs, for a total of 900 planted last year and this year.
Temps are supposed to moderate (to about 50) today.
One more pass with the mower tomorrow, followed by de-thatching; blow the stuff into the woods.
I should have both cars washed and sealed with a new graphene sealant by Saturday.
Then, I have some wood to split and stack.
I cannot spend my life at this keyboard / monitor.
I’ll go nuts.
Thank you for posting this.
Will now begin to do as suggested.
Am praying for all enemies.
Thank you.
Norski
Thanks
I will pray but like my God, I am vengeful
That’s a good plan.
I need to get outside and work but right this minute, I can’t seem to pull myself away from the keyboard.
Enjoy.
... and clean your house. Does wonders for burning off nervous energy.
I’m going deer hunting.
I stayed up till midnight, hoping to see a final result.
I had to let it go and get some sleep. I see today, the ‘vote harvesting’ has begun. I can only pray for the proper outcome, which would be for Trump’s re-election.
I have to set it up in my mind that there is nothing more I can do about it. If Biden wins, I have no plans to run around downtown, breaking storefront windows or tossing Molotov Cocktails at police stations. I already voted. I spread the word of conservatism to those occasional Libs willing to have an honest, open discussion. They are almost as rare as Unicorns, but they do exist.
I am 64 y/o, therefore my life, and my basic routine will go on for the foreseeable future. I cannot speak for all. Many think if Biden and Da Gang are put in power, there will be no turning back from Socialism ever again. Maybe yes, maybe no. Just perhaps, if Biden’s people are put in power, the results will be so disturbing, that by 2024, the trend for Socialism will be quickly reversed. Maybe people have to have a drink of it before they realize it is deadly poison. I remain hopeful for the future of my country.
