[[You can’t pray your way into election victories]]

Actually we can pray our way to victory- however, the prayer will NEED to be prayed as a collective whole of a nation askign God to fogive us for our unbeleif and for our wickedness

[[To win elections you need polished, skilled politicians who can sell people on a set of ideas.]]

God controls who wins and who doesn’t-

[[There is no guarantee people will vote the right way either - even if they are god fearing folks]]

If they aren’t voting hte right way, then they aren’t truly God Fearing people, because obviously they don’t beleive that God woudl actually keep His word and remove His blessing from us shoudl we turn a blind eye to His moral laws- IF they truly were God fearing, they woudl be too afraid of God’s judgement to vote the wrong way-

[[People should really knock it off with this notion that if we pray enough it will help us win elections. It probably won’t.]]

Really? Daniel 2:21 He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.

Daniel 4:17,25,26 tell us three times that “the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.”

“He worketh all things after the counsel of his own will”

Whewn Christians pray- our prayers go along the lines of ‘Nevertheless not our will be doen oh Lord, But Your will be doen according to, and for Your glory and plan for our lives-

I prayed each day for 40 days and fasted from my favorite pastime during that time. I fasted from all food on election day and was prompted to pray each time I felt a hunger pang. But I have to admit, it felt somewhat flat, unlike previous years. It was almost as though the spirit was not aligned with this effort and it became just that...my effort.

Maybe the Lord is removing his hand of protection and blessing and evil is being giving more reign. All I know is that He is sovereign, and I trust.
