The same thing happened to me during the 2000 elections, as I'm sure happened to lots of Christians. I was on the political side of the forum, and prayer for our Country and President-elect Bush was all-encompassing. I'm not feeling led in that direction now. Prayer for unbelievers/unsaved and getting the Gospel of the Grace of God out is all-encompassing. I think 9/11 was our turning point. And our last chance to turn it around. We are beyond calling our country to repentance, now. We are rapture bound. IMO.
"We then, as workers together with Him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain...Behold, now is the accepted time; Behold, Now is the day of salvation." (2 Cor. 6:1,2).
I didn't feel this in 2000. Today I feel it as never before.
