Just wanted to put out a good thought!!
God cares about this nation and does care about this election! How much do we??? After all the blogging and talking,, will you be willing to press in with prayer and fasting??
Sometimes it seems there is nothing we can do than blog and complain! But,, that is really not true for the Christian! It is a lie from the devil formed in the pit of hell!
Ezekiel 22:30 "I searched for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land, so that I would not destroy it; but I found no one."
God can do a great deal with just a little!! He searches for just "a man!" Nobody likes to fast! If it were easy, everybody would do it! Perhaps you can give up just one meal! Do what you can! Pray like you mean it! Spend an hour with God every day. Pray into the night! Stay up all night and pray or just commit to meeting God daily with a broken heart!!
Prayer is simple! Open your mouth and talk to God and then you are praying! Enter His gates with thanksgiving! Thank Him for all the great things He has done! It doesn't matter how you feel,, and you aren't being a hypocrite if you don't feel thankful! You are acting in Faith! Besides,, prayer isn't just about you! It is about Him!!!
2Ch 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."
I added the emphasis.
Talk to God! After you have thanked Him. Give Him some praise! Paul's praise brought down the prison walls! How do I praise Him?? Speak good things about Him! It's easy!! State that His name is above every other name! Tell Him what a good God he is!
Then,, be honest about yourself! Confess your sin! Talk to Him! Ask Him to heal this land! Pray for this election, our courts, our leaders!
Do you want to really be bold??! Want to really step out and say something crazy?? Proclaim things!!
Mark 11:23, "Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him."
Proclaim righteousness returns to our courts! Proclaim the the name of Jesus will be lifted up again in our congress! Speak to our schools that they will return to the foundation on which they were built! And speak to this election! That the more righteous man win!! Get radical in prayer!! Speak that our would so return to the Bible that all the nations of the earth would have to confess "Yes,, they left their God, but look! They have returned!! American is again a Christian nation!"
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."
Pray that liars, thieves and deceivers will be exposed! Pray that the news media will report the truth!
God spoke,, and formed the heavens and earth! The Bible says our words also have the power of life and death!! Speak to the mountain! You say you did and it's still there??? Don't quit! It was years before Joshua and Caleb entered the Promise Land! But,, THEY DID!!!
I do not pretend to understand everything about God! Regardless of the outcome of Super Tuesday, regardless of the outcome of our general election, I do know this,,, God is not a liar and His Word is true!!! Nor do I believe God is finished with this nation! Ultimately, we have arrived here at this place because the church fell asleep! I blame congress for lots of things as well,,, but in all truth,, the blame is on the church doorstep,, and at in own homes. It all begins and it all ends in the prayer closet!
So,, will you join me in prayer and fasting over the next few days!!?? Not just for this election,, but for this nation,, that it may endure!!
I will leave you with these few scriptures,,
"Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." James 5:16
"For men are not cast off by the Lord forever. Though He brings grief, He will show compassion, so great is His unfailing love. For He does not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children of men." Lam.3:31-33
"For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and His ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil. Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? But, even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. 'Do not fear what they fear;do not be frightened." 1 Peter3:12-14
interesting, as active as I am in politics, I have not had a single robo or call on who to vote for tuesday yet.
"Which GOP presidential hopeful do you want to see win the most delegates on Super Tuesday?"
Mike Huckabee
John McCain
Ron Paul
Mitt Romney
I agree. I just wonder which third-party will put up a candidate worthy of my vote.
Jesus said:...” it they are not against me they are for me”
THis is what the Lord revealed to me and that is why I’m fasting and praying for Romney.
Remember that 10% of McCain’s comes from democrats and so called independents to derail the republican election.
Jimmy Carter.
Romney is, by my observation, more Godly than those, even some of us on this board, professing to be Christians! One wife, five children, honest and successful in business, the least arrogant of all those running, less arrogant, I daresay than most of us on this board!
..Carter, too, was successful in business (peanut farmer), like Mitt a governor, had three children, one wife, and promised "never to lie"...how'd you like the way he turned out?
BTW, a lot of people who have met Mitt claim that he is indeed arrogant and, most assuredly, Carter was!
Thank you.
I couldn’t have said it better.
....”righteous indignation without sinning....”
As someone said, we’re not electing a pastor, but the President of the United States! Obviously, no one is perfect! Is there such a man to be found?
Jimmy Carter??????.....He is a wolf in sheep clothing
What are you talking about.
God tells us to be Smart as serpent and peaceful as a dove..”
I join you in praying for God’s will to be done. Almighty God can use a pagan, an amateur, a marxist or a mormon to do His will. I’ll leave you guessing of which candidates I am speaking. Where is the Gipper when we need him?
I’ll be in agreement with you.
...”when two or more shall ask any thing in my name it shall be given unto them....”
Amen bump.
Have a good day.
I’m also agreeing with you and freemike; a three cord rope is hard to brake.
If one can put assunder 1,000, two can put assunder 10,000 how much more three or hundreds if not thousand praying for Romney.
So let's see, Bill Clinton was what? a Baptist? a Christian?
The real problem is that 70% of Republicans don't know Mitt, and McInsane is running a filthy campaign against him. Also, Huckleberry is taking valuable votes away from Mitt. If Romney loses the nomination then America loses a potentially excellent leader.
Jesus: "Forbid him not: for there is mo man which shall do a miracle in my name that can lightly speak evil of me. For he that is not against us is on our part."
Romney: "I believe that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior."
I loved Fred...and now I really miss Fred. He never got a fair shot.
Understand your math Jimbo and I’ll add this equation: we are going to need 100% of Republicans of ALL callings in order to beat either Her Thighness or Obambi.
How this will happen I don’t know: I just know it is going to need to happen in order to even start on a level playing field. Then we need to pray that if Hillary IS the Demonrat nominee (as I have hoped) that enough so-called “African-Americans” (also known as American-Americans) are still pissed enough at the Billary Show that they stay home on election day or at the very least don’t vote for her.
Amen.
